Unlike many other mic preamps where the lower-cost versions come at a
big cost
to the sound, the P-SOLO is, in every regard, a TRUE Systems microphone
preamp,
offering the "high-end mic pre" quality at an affordable, entry-level
price.
Tim Spencer, CEO for TRUE Systems and designer of the TRUE Systems' Mic
Preamps
states: "Our goal was to design a single-channel mic preamp that
provides
high-end sonic performance at a cost-effective price for the serious
musician
or recording engineer. We want to put the same quality of product used
on
Grammy-winning recordings and major concert tours, into the hands of an
entirely new audience. We feel that we have achieved, if not exceeded
this
goal. The P-SOLO is perfect for studio and location recording, and live
sound
applications - wherever a microphone is used. And not only that, its
instrument
direct input feature provides exceptional articulation, presence and
depth when
an instrument preamp is needed. The P-SOLO is designed to provide
stunning
sonic detail, with a neutral, musical character, capable of delivering
outstanding performance in every situation we could think of."

Systems P Solo Preamp

TRUE
Systems is a small preamp
company located in
California,
USA. Owned
and operated by Tim Spencer, the goal is to deliver clarity and
low noise for recordists. The P-SOLO is a single channel portable mic
pre / DI
that offers up to +64dB of gain (variable), phantom power, 80hZ hi-pass
and
instrument input. The red case is very attractive, and the unit is
surprisingly
lightweight (read easy to travel with).
I find the
P-SOLO to deliver a
natural and fast, detailed sound that brings all the air around your
source
home. It does not offer any character or ability to push for different
tones,
it does a good job at delivering the “true” (sorry…) picture of what
your
microphone hears. On acoustic sources like drums and stringed
instruments I
liked the natural but rich delivery. The P-SOLO is also quiet so you
can say
goodbye to hiss or other low level issues. For voice over guys who like
super
detail and low noise, the P-SOLO really is a great reach also (you guys
are
sooo picky!).
Conclusion: A seriously
nice single
channel pre for voice and home studio owners, the P-SOLO delivers
detail and
depth without noise in a convenient desktop form. Even grabbing a pair
is a
good economical idea.
