Bought this preamp just as a “let me try it and see” and OMG!!! I could not beleive how much clarity it added to my top end, you just have to spend some time to dial it correctly. I have heard lots of negatives about behringer equipment but to each his own. I own several pieces of equipment that last for many years, I had 1 eq that crapped out recently after 7 years of regular use and replaced it right away with another behringer. Behringer is my brand hands down!!!

The left and right stereo channels are not sonically matched, i.e. the two channels have slightly different audio qualities. I suspect that this is a result of variations in component values that are inherent in electronics tolerance margins at this price (usually ±10%). If by chance you get parts with one channel -10% and the other +10% different than spec (like mine), it's audible. More expensive units use ±5% components or better then test/match components before construction. HOWEVER, I consider that I have two different mono preamps. On mine, I choose the right side if I need a little brighter high end, and the left if I need warmth for a harsh, edgy source. The result is that I can't use it for critical stereo mic applications. (minus one star). CONCLUSION: This preamp is an average value for the money. If you need some tube harmonics, it's better than having a similarly priced solid state.Read full review
This was definitely an upgrade to what I was using before. I know that there are better pre amps out there but not everyone is going to spend $3750 on a mic pre. This gear does the job well. I didn’t have any noise issues and I enjoyed the sound that it produced. I haven’t heard it without my compressor connected but if the audio from the pre was trash then it would definitely sound like compressed trash. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the gear and the price.

The noise level is very low and the tubes provide a very smooth silky response. Excellent preamp especially on our PPA R-One ribbon mic. The preamp has plenty of gain for the ribbon. It works equally well on the U87. Great features, like the variable roll off and parametric EQ. Great product especially for the price.
Overall the item was greater than expected. Minor scuff and marks and electronics are working like a clock.
