There is no other box at this price point that gives you high-quality mic pres that you can dial in for phase coherency when using multiple mics on one source, and gives you quality A/D coverters to boot. A great way to add two more channels to any interface with a S/PDIF or AES input.

Audient Mico

Fantastic in applications that involve uncolored preamplification and AD conversion. I use it as a way to bypass interface converters when recording on location and when paired with earthworks-type microphone pairs for drum overheads, and piano stereo pairs, the transparency cannot be beat. Fantastic box.

Very high quality, and great "bang for the buck"!!

I actually did a shoot-out in my studio with the Mico and the Grace m101. Honestly, running both devices in "vanilla" mode (not utilizing any of the coloration features) I could honestly not tell the difference between the 2.

For about $100 more, with Mico you get TWO amazingly clean & transparent pre's, plus built-in AD 96Khz), Word Clock, and digital outputs. Plus a lot more high-pass filtering options than the m101.

For me, it was a no-brained which one to buy!!

Amazing

I was using a Presonus Digimax FS preamps via adat into my M-Audio ProjectMix I/0. The Digimax really cleaned up the sound of the ProjectMix. Stepping up to the Audient Mico really opened up the sound of my microphones. It has more gain, great digital conversion and I don't think anything can touch it at this price point. I love this box!

Love it!!!

The Audient Mico is a very nice Preamp! I finally got a sound with excellent clarity and color. Very useful for any situation. For the price is better than any other preamp for the same price. Thank you Alex!!!

First one died after 3 days

It sounds good, but the first one died after 3 days (actually after 30 mins of actual use) right before a session. Sweetwater did get me one in the mail right away...5 stars for that!!! The replacement is working fine and does sound good, but hey that first impression is hard to forget. Would I recommend it to someone else...Yeah It sounds good (not punchy, kinda smooth, fairly neutral on the A channel with the HMX off...it can get real dirty with it on. Overall Pretty Good, not Great.

“My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.”
