M808A Microphone/Instrument/Line Preamplifier
When we showed our friends @joyguerrilla the new M808A preamplifier, they were eager to hear how it sounded in action.
So we gave them one and told them to make something.
Every instrument on this track was recorded through the preamp, with no additional gain from the audio interface.
Roland SP-404: recorded stereo with the preamp DI
Fender Rhodes: sent to a stereo splitter, and recorded stereo with the preamp DI
Fender Jazz Bass: recorded mono with the preamp DI
Prophet-10 Synth: recorded mono with the preamp DI
Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano: recorded stereo with the preamp mic inputs, 48v using two AKG-214 condenser mics
Fender Strat Electric Guitar: recorded mono with the preamp mic input, Fender Twin Reverb mic'd with a single Shure SM57, double-tracked
The final track is only minimally mixed and transparently mastered.
In this dreamy clip, Magdalena Daniec plays through the M808A Preamp at her home studio on her 1929 Mason & Hamlin Model A vintage piano. With only a pair of matched AKG 214 condenser microphones going straight through the M808A Preamp and being printed to Logic Pro.

We had the honor of having our friend record some short demos of the M808A Preamp he owns at his home studio on his handmade drum set. Behind his big sound in this clip is only a pair of matched Neumann Gefell M582 tube microphones going straight through the M808A Preamp, printed to Logic Pro via the Apogee Element interface.
This is the raw track and no EQ, Compression, or any effect was used for a true frame of reference.
