Certainly if u want exotic pre's you'd either use the other inputs (C), use additional pre's wired into your AD or go with a passive monitoring solution and your own choice of pre's wired directly into your AD. At least they didn't do an integrated AD/DA section. Danny, imo they’re targeting people who don’t want to use a console.

I have crummy little built-in iBook speakers, but my ear says the buzzy "snare" sound is pretty accurate, but the sharp impact strokes lack a certain hollow/resonant sound that I presume comes from the sound waves bouncing around inside the sides of the drum case. It's as if the sound is "pinched", in the same way that you might miss, say, the "brightness" of a trumpet. Obviously, I'm way behind the technology here, but I know what I hear -- even through these tinny little things. Maybe it's my hearing? OK.

There are a lot of cool bells and whistles on this thing, but is it too good to be true? I feel they must have skimped on the mic pre's which they cryptically describe as "console-grade". Most people by pre's because they want something better than they'be got in their console. $1000 for 2 channels is much cheaper than UA has charged in the past.
