How do the mic pres on the Mic/Line Cards compare with other Mackie mic pres, such as the Onyx or XDR pres?
The Mic/Line cards use the TI/Burr-Brown PGA2500 digitally controlled mic preamp, and all the specifi cations of that chip can be found at the following website: http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pga2500.html Debating the characteristics of a microphone preamplifier and drawing comparisons to other equipment is truly a subjective argument. We will post all the audio specifications of the analog cards (both the Mic/Line and Line cards) to the Digital X Bus web page, and you can draw your own conclusions based on the specs.
