Fantastic!!!

Music Background: Recording Engineer, Composer, Pro Musician
I have enjoyed this thing from day 1. It's rich, detailed, the transients are beautiful. It can go from tame and neutral to tubey and gritty. If using a ribbon, you definitely need the Cloudlifter.... read more [+] This thing is whisper quiet at moderate levels but can introduce a slight hiss at higher volumes. I've never experienced this with condensers on this pre.

Love it! close [-]

Super excellent and versatile preamp. Easy to use: you can easily dial in a little drive to warm up a track.

Best Investment I ever made

by John Polk from
October 22, 2011
Music Background:
I have Neumann's, AKG's, the Mojave MA-200, and the improvement the ADL-600 made in everything I've put through it is nothing short of astounding. My 414 is over 25 years old, and sounds better than ... read more [+]I've ever heard it. I do voice-over work for a living, and record small vocal groups, and after they hear how they sound in my studio, they don't want to record anywhere else! The ADL-600 is by far the best pre-amp I've ever heard or tested. Probably worth twice the money. close [-]

Talk about a "wow" effect!

The first time I heard this thing in action was as an intern working on a major project. We flipped the switch on this thing during the mixing process and immediately patched it into the majority of t... read more [+]he mixes for that album. This thing does wonders for vocals, bringing clarity and warmth, and it even adds a little spice to mixes when you run your two-track through it. A must have. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Tim Holsinger
I use the PreSonus ADL 600 in my studio to record vocals and it blows me away! This preamp is incredible! I'm able to record fantastic-sounding vocal tracks that always fit perfectly in the mix. It has tons of headroom, which allows you to really push the tubes and get a rich sound! I'd recommend one to anyone who's serious about getting great sounds on their recordings.
