Preamps / Channel Strips

Eight top-class preamps priced within reach of the serious project studio...

We take our first look at the excellent new Portico range by Rupert Neve Designs - and they don't disappoint.

With 16 mic preamps and a built-in mixer, the M16 certainly delivers on quantity. Can it deliver on quality too?

A useful studio workhorse offering eight channels of mic pres plus ADAT I/O, that does just what it says on the tin.

In the last few years, Solid State Logic have been concentrating a lot of effort on the project studio market, and this new Alpha Channel makes their high-end console technology available in an affordable rackmounting channel strip.

TL Audio's latest additions to their popular Fat Man range are more versatile than their names suggest.

If you are looking for an authentic tube-amp guitar sound from a DI recording system, then maybe the Dark Blue's all-tube preamp and speaker simulation is just what you need.
