TRUE Sound in a Single Channel!

P-SOLO features an identical preamp design to the acclaimed Precision 8 and P2analog mic preamps, which are noted for stunning sonic detail and neutral, but musical, character. The sonic character of this preamp compliments any microphone type and produces superior results in a broad variety of applications. And, the instrument input (DI) provides exceptional articulation, presence and depth from electric instruments.

True Systems P-SOLO Features:
  • Natural, musical, highly-detailed soundfield
  • Complete compatibility and superior results with any mics – condenser, dynamic, and ribbon
  • Totally balanced, dual servo, high dynamic range, transformerless design using hand-matched components.
  • Internal linear AC power supply for excellent transient response (no 'wall wart' or external supply).
  • High impedance instrument input
  • High Pass filter
  • 48v Phantom Power
  • Dual analog outputs
  • Four-level metering.
  • Over-size volume control with selectable 10db input level attenuation
  • Compact, portable attractive, solid desk-top case.

A must have

by TM from LA, CA

Music Background: Engineer
This is absolutely a pre everyone in the industry should have, unless you already have a Martech. Which is the cleanest preamp ever made IMO. But this is literally a small fraction of the cost of a Ma... read more [+]rtech. I don't recommend this to be your only pre, but it definitely fills a niche that you're probably missing out on as you're reading this. I've found this to be the best sounding preamp I've run through for most female vocalists, bass guitars, lower resonance strings, and any room mic or ribbon. (Just add the cloud lifter for ribbons or dynamics). Male vocals is hit and miss with this, it really depends on the voice in that case. I love how long the throw is on the volume knob, it makes fine tuning your gain very easy. Its also a really beautiful piece of gear. These pictures don't do the brushed red metal justice. People who know nothing of preamps will imagine this costing thousands more than it does. Everyone who comes in to the studio always admires it. close [-]

I was amazed

When I recently purchased a new microphone I was really baffled which pre amp to choose. Throughout the years I had purchased, used and returned a lot of them.
They all made great claim... read more [+]s. This time I decided to call the manufacture of the company that built my microphone. I spoke with the developer about what Pre Amp would best compliment my microphone.

He told me the P-SOLO by True systems.
He was right! In all the years of spending upwards of over 2 grand on pre amps this little baby for around 500 dollars is well built and sounds fantastic, what a marriage. I suggest before you go through the agony of finding the right pre amp, just try this one.. No wonder they are always on back order. The P-SOLO- PRE AMP by TRUE SYSTEMS. You’ll love it.

I Love This Thing!!

by William Jones from Jasper, GA

Music Background: Semi-Pro Musician, Home Recordist, Hobbyist
This is probably hands down the best mic pre I've ever used. It doesn't have a whole lot of bells and whistles. But it beats the pants off of any pre I've owned previously. They all had bells and whis... read more [+]tles. But they still don't compare to the P-Solo!! This thing has tons of gain to get your signal to the recorder. It seems to have more clarity than anything I've ever used. It makes any mic I've used with it sound fabulous from my Rode NT1-A to my Shure SM57. You can also play bass direct through it with great results. I still haven't played any direct guitars yet. But I will definitely be trying that as well. Everything sounds great it. Neumann who makes very expensive large condensers mics distribute True Systems Products because they were blown away by how their mics sounded through a True Systems Pre. Do yourself a favor and check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed!! close [-]

"The TRUTH"

by Phenom from Staten Island, NY

Music Background: Producer, Studio Owner, Singer, Composer, Recording Engineer, Live Sound Engineer & Musician.
I use this mic pre with an AKG C 414 B-XLS, Shure SM57, SM58 & SM Beta 58. I record Hip Hop, RnB, Reggaeton, live brass, woodwinds & percussion with true, top notch, pro sound quality.

1. This Mic is the truth.
2. If you have no talent or potential, there is absolutely no piece of equiptment that will help you sound good.
3. Any, and I repeat any decent, good or great mic will sound professional through this preamp.
4. Hands down the best mic pre for $500 bucks (A NO BRAINER).
5. Lastly, as good as any top shelf mic pre $500 & up. close [-]
