Hi Vicki, John, Max, all
here http://soundcloud.com/marco-pesente/art-phantom-2-pro-at3032-vs is a
comparison between Art Phantom 2 Pro + AT3032 vs IRigPre + AT3032.
First five bars Art Ph; second five bars IRig Pre.
Recorded using a Sony M10: Mic IN for Art Ph + AT3032; Line IN for IRig Pre +
AT 3032.
Recording levels as original, NO post production.
I am waiting for your comments!
cheers,
Marco Pesente
