The Mic Pre sounds good also

Works my mic great with only 15v phantom power

but as time went on.. the mic wasn't loud enough or it was becoming quieter (people on the other end said I was quiet

Yes, phantom power is only 15v, but it is a quiet, well balanced mic pre for money

15v Phantom power. if you have a powerful mic and external FX board that will tie into the 502, the phantom power is not enough to support it

Yes, it does ALL these things!Used with a high quality dynamic or condenser mic, it sounds terrific when recording vocals or instruments into the computer

Either way, I get a cleaner sound using my M-Audio M-Track 2-Channel Portable than using this turd
