Classic tube performance fattens up vocals, guitar, bass, or keyboards.

The PreSonus TubePRE Microphone Preamp lets you add character to your signal by varying the amount of gain and tube drive. A 12AX7 tube in this single-channel mic preamp fattens your signal while dual-servo gain stages let you simultaneously output to your amp and console. Sterling specs include 10Hz-80kHz frequency response, a 94dB noise floor, and >90dB S/N ratio. Capacitor-free circuitry and wide dynamic control give you a big boost without noise. Includes 48V phantom power, phase reverse, 20dB pad, and 80Hz rumble filter. A large VU meter with a cool blue backlight keeps you informed. Balanced/unbalanced and XLR I/O give the PreSonus TubePRE flexibility. Great as a studio direct box.

  • If you know what you're doing

    As reviewed by PrepBoy on 2/4/2011

    When I first got this preamp a couple years ago I didn't know how to use it. I've had it now for 2 years and it is not bad for the price. I had took it to one of my friends professional studios and hooked it up to get the full effect to see what I really got. I use a Audio-Technica AT2020 which is a alright mic, but my boy has a ST55 which is a more brighter mic. It sounded so amazing, it really had a warmth in a very bright mic. Also my audio interface is just EMU 0202, his was a EMU 1616. So me personally with this preamp it really depends on your mic, your audio interface, and the knowledge of using the preamp. I haven't even replaced the tube yet so no telling how it would sound afterward

  • Unimpressed

    As reviewed by Natcap on 2/8/2007

    I went to get a tube preamp because I felt running from my mic to a Crate mixer wasn't giving me the warmth and fullness I wanted in my vocals. Admittedly it's my first time using a tube preamp, but not my first time using gain and drive. I found them to be ineffective in giving me a strong signal without boxing and clipping my sound. I did notice an increase in warmth...but not $100 worth. I think this is a better preamp for guitars than mics, though I can't say for sure since I didn't try.

  • Useful with restrictions

    As reviewed by Studio 139 on 8/25/2006

    The Presonus TubePre mic preamp has a good sound, and it will give anyone with a small all in one recorder a different flavor for a mic's and direct inputs, but it is not suitable for more advanced systems. The tube adds some tonal change to the signal but should not be thought of as a cheap alternative to the Solo 610 or the Presonus ADL 600. It looks cool, it's well built, it sounds good, but it lacks a power switch, the I/O's are in the back and it's underpowered for the tube to really alter the tone more than by a high end roll off and a bit of good distrotion.
