ART USB Dual Pre 2 Channel Preamp
This mini toy is good, when you want to record your music and mix it in your computer. Why? This is a few reason, it is small (portable), easy to use, and quite powerful.
The setup with this unit is extremely simple. here are the steps I followed:
1. Plug the mics into the XLR input jacks on the front
2. Connect the unit to your PC with the USB cable - if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 it is recognized immediately as a USB device
3. Select "USB audio codec" as your default recording device in Windows by right-clicking on the speakers icon in the taskbar
4. Choose he recording properties that you want (I picked stereo / 16-bit / 48 kHz) and save this selection by clicking OK
5. Fire up your recording software ( I use Sony Sound Forge)
6. Set the levels of each channel using the hardware gain control knobs on the device
7. You are ready to record
A strong "buy" recommendation, if you want to make quick and easy CD-quality live recordings with extreme portability. Absolutely amazing value for money - there is nothing in the market at this quality and price point that I am aware of.
