  I am looking for a Mic preamp with compressor, limiter, EQ and phantom

  Posted by Ray Palmer on December 6, 2006 at 9:48 pm

  I do a lot of live events with a pair of goose neck mics on a podium. They are both the same mic and both require phantom.
  My wish is a simple compressor limiter with EQ that can handle both mics at the same time.
  That way I can EQ, compress, and limit the mic feed prior to my mixer. Output can be either mic, balanced or line level, TRS.
  Anyone know of a product that can do this?

  The Symetrix 528E is a typical single rack space pre/EQ/comp.
  The dbx 286a is a little surprise that costs less and sounds really quite good.

  Reviews of both are in the On Line Archive on my web site.

  Thanks Ty,
  I really like the looks of the Symetrix 528E. It appears to have everything that I am looking for.
  Once again, you are going to make me look good.
  All the best and thanks for the reply to my post.
