Got it for 6 months now.
Used for
* accoustic stereo recording (with beyerdynamic MC930s) on accoustic guitar.
* voice recording (with U87 and SM7b)

Fit really well my needs.

No problem with external power supply :
* if fails one day, just replace it
* No power supply near mic signal flow

Really Great product !!

Characteristcs :
Input Impedance: 10,000 Ohms + or 20%
Frequency Response:
- Main Output, no load:@ 10 Hz, 0.2 dB @ 160 kHz 3 dB
- Buss Output : @ 10 Hz 0.2 dB @ 160 kHz 3 dB
High Pass Filter: Swept Frequency continuously variable from 20 Hz to 250 Hz. Slope: 12 dB/Octave.
Gain: Switched Gain from Unity to +66dB in 6 dB steps.
Trim: Continuously adjustable potentiometer from 6dB to +6dB with reference to setting on the Gain Switch.
Maximum Output Level: Balanced and Floating Transformer Output from 20 Hz to 40 kHz: +25 dBu. (Clips at just over +26 dBu)
Mute: Mutes Main Output only. (i.e. Monitor remains Live)
SILK: The 5012 uses mainly single-sided amplifier circuitry that excludes any possibility of crossover distortion. The “SILK” button reduces negative feedback and adjusts the frequency spectrum to provide a very sweet and musical performance.
