Pretty decent stuff

This is a neutral pre with no coloration, a slightly forward midrange, and a little lacking in detail.

I got this to use with my 400f. The Onyx is a very clean, detailed preamp, and I wanted something with some vibe.

This preamp is not the one to get if you want some tube vibe. It sounds the same as the Onyx on vocals and on DI, very neutral and clear.

On acoustic guitar, I could hear a bit of a midrange boost, and it sounded a little more "forward" than the Onyx pres. The transient response wasn't quite as sharp, and the detail wasn't quite as good, but with the forward midrange is sounded just a little better to my ears.

Overall, there is pretty much no difference in sound between this and the Onyx, which is not a bad thing because they are both great sounding pres.

  connections are great (inputs , outputs) noise floor is dissapointing , loud ..

THE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS ARE VERY NICE . I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED WITH THE NOISE FLOOR RATIO WHEN USING THE 207D AS A 2 CH. D.I. . USING THE 207D WITH VOX IS'NT TO BAD IF YOUR SHOOTING FOR A UPGRADE FROM A BASIC MIXER OR STRAIGHT INTO A DIGITAL BOARD..I 'LL STICK WITH UNIVERSAL AUDIO 2-610 AND THE SSL XLOGIC SERIES, MANLEY etc... TYP JONNY C.

  "OUTSTANDING QUALITY THAT SHOULD COST MUCH MORE."

Exceptional results for voice or instrument.
As a Singer / tenor- the mic lim has been great for avoiding
distortion and the warmth and clarity are phenominal for this moderate amount of money.

In conclusion, a High Definition, analogue & digital preamp that can rival or better other preamps that are twice or more it's price and made in the USA as well.

  Its a great pre

The sonic lift it gives to vocals and instruments, is terrific.This pre has a unique warmth of its own.

This preamp is really nice. I just plug it in & my vocals sound great. It even gave me the confidence to record vocals dry (used to monitor w/ reveb). I also love the warmth it gave my bass using the DI. Can't wait to get more mics & experiment. Great product.
