What should we expect of the pre-amps sound quality compared to other Sound Devices products (namely the MP-2 or USBPre as many of us are familiar with them)?
The preamps on the 7-series are unique. We took advantage of the increased current available from Lion batteries and developed a preamp that is quieter, lower distortion, and far higher bandwidth than any other Sound Devices preamp. It uses a large geometry discrete transistor topology versus the transformer preamps of our field mixers.
