Sander A · 12th November 2009

I'm have a couple of 2882's that I use every day. These are my only outboard units and I like them very much. Needles to say that the pre's and the character sound really nice.

I think a good dedicated preamp can sound a bit more fat (colored) than the MH. Of course you can make your recorded material fat with these units but it takes some more effort.
Most of the character settings are very subtile

Good luck with your choice man!
