Great Mic Pre and Converter
I use this as a Mic Pre and A/D Converter to expand my 828 MkIII. ADAT Optical out to the 828. This device works very well, and functions flawlessly. The only thing I dislike is that when powered off, it does NOT save the trim levels for each mic, and therefore if you use it with a normal setup, you need to re-level every time you power cycle the device. This is not terribly difficult, but it does present a problem with consistency in recording level.
