The project was a lot of fun and I must say that your directions and packaging are as close to perfect as anyone can imagine. Please keep me posted about your emerging products.
Success! I just did a quick and dirty test here in my office and all four channels seem to be functioning well--the levels all match and so on. The project was a lot of fun and I must say that your directions and packaging are as close to perfect as anyone can imagine. I know from your web site that you wear a lot of hats (don't we all) but you should consider technical writing as at least a part time job. It's hard to write things like tech manuals and instruction books and you definitely have the knack for it. I sense that Five Fish as a commercial venture is pretty new but with great products and service like this you have every chance of making this a real success. This is my first electronics assembly project but I am certain it will not be my last. I know you are working on a bunch of things and I will want to give another one a try sometime. I would be interested for sure in either building a couple more of these and modifying them with some transformers, or even tackling that API-type design you are working on. Please keep me posted about your emerging products. Again thanks for all of your patience and support. - R.Miller, Music Professor, USA
What if you could take the best features from different preamps, and combine them into one Super-Frankenstein Hybrid preamp? And that's exactly what I did. Welcome my new X-72mk500 Mic Preamp!
This is our new Mic Preamp in the API-500 Series card format. We're bringing all the quality of the original SC-1 and some more, plus new additional features in this new form factor.
This is my own version of a classic preamp, popular in the 70s and still popular today. It's not a clone since I'm using a totally different signal path and design, and different input and output transformers. But the sound nevertheless is awesome. Big and beefy with lots of transformer mojo goodness.
The SC-1 Mic Preamp is a clean, clear, low-noise, high-gain pream. It sounds very transparent, offering a flat response, smooth highs and well-defined mids.
It's here! Save time and energy building a case for your SC-1 Preamp. This is a 1u Rack Case designed to mount (4) SC-1 Preamp Kits! Very professional looking! Standard 19" wide, 11" deep (plenty of space).
