Best preamp for voice
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2016 10:24 amHello,
I've purchased the T15 preamp and B16 compressor kits to be used with my tube condenser for voice work on my FM radio show & podcast that I record from home. As the T15 is a pretty neutral preamp, I'd like the next one to be something with a lot of character and for making our voices really shine. Would the A12 or N72 preamps have more character for this purpose? I'm female so have a female voice, but I'm also building spots for co-hosts, and some will be male. I really want the audio on this show to be as professional as possible, and to sound really good. I can't stand listening to tinny, lifeless voices.
I'm going overboard equipment-wise for this because I'm a gear geek who wants good equipment, and I'll be using this stock for the eventual project recording studio I'll be building in the future, so I don't want to waste time & money on anything that wouldn't also be useful for recording music.
Any input on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
RB
