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 [-]

Great addition

I recently got the ADL-600 last week Friday (11 July, 2008) and I must say that I really love the "warmth, clarity & full-sound" that this preamp is able to provide. Using it with Blue Bluebird & CA... read more [+]D Trion mics & I love the clarity of this preamp (Used Presonus BlueTube, Art's Gold MPA, Focusrite VM Pro, Avalon 737sp & UA LA-3A) & IMHO it beats them all (not sure if that's correct, but it gives me what I need).

I had looked & researched this preamp since 2005 & kept going back & forth between this & the Liquid Channel (Thanks for being out of stock, still going to add).

Bottom-line: This is not a "budget/semi-pro" preamp, this is a professional preamp that will add to your arsenal, but yet & still you have to develop a ear in all that you do. close [-]

To state things simply.... this pre amp is stunning. The sound is alway rich and "creamy". Thank you Mike Arango of Sweetwater for giving us the scoop about this wonderful piece!

SIMPLE & EFFECTIVE

ALTHOUGH THE WORD "WOW" IS A "STRETCH" (JUST A METAL BOX WITH COMPONENTS..NOT PAMELA ANDERSON)...I WOULD RATE THIS AS AN EXTREMELY WELL BUILT UNIT WORTHY OF ANY RECORDING SITUATION. NO OP-AMPS MEANS ... read more [+]NO DOWN TIME TRYING TO FIND OUT WHICH ONE HAS "FRIED". THE STRAIGHT WIRE TYPE OF DESIGN IS WHAT GIVES THIS UNIT ITS' "DICTION". NO UNNECESSARY & MENACING FEATURES. JUST A PURE SIGNAL PATH HOPEFULLY COMING FROM PURE TALENT. ANTHONY IS AN INTELLIGENT & EXTREMELY AMIABLE PERSON TO DEAL WITH AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED..HE MAKES THE BEST LA-2A OUT THERE. SO HOW CAN YOU LOSE BUYING A PREAMP DESIGNED BY HIM? close [-]
