May 2008: SC-1 mentioned in MIX Magazine Review
Check out Barry Rudolph's review of a Peluso 22 47SE Tube Microphone and IK Multimedia Advanced Room Correction Software in MIX Magazine May 2008 issue. He used the SC-1 Mic Preamp in evaluating both products. Check out his website, http://www.barryrudolph.com, for more product reviews from this L.A. based recording engineer/producer/gear reviewer.

I have finished your kit and it sounds fine and I'll be using it in sessions soon. Anyway the pre-amps both worked perfectly from the first time and seem to sound very good. I've already had questions about buying more of these kits 'wholesale' in numbers. Good Luck with your kit. It's a solid product and I had fun building it. - Barry Rudolph, Recording Engineer/Producer/Gear Reviewer - http://www.barryrudolph.com

Expand the capabilities of your SC-1 preamp by getting the MINI-IO + Active DI Kit. This kit adds Polarity Reversal switch, -20dB Pads, and a Mic/Hi-Z Instrument select switch. There is also an on-board ACTIVE DI that one beta tester compares the sound to his favorite Active DI from another company (starts with the letter "R"...), which makes this MINI-IO Kit a bargain, considering the other DI costs 4x as much.

You can also adapt this for use in your own DIY preamp or project. See the Assembly Guide/Instructions for the block diagram to see how it sits "in-between" your preamp and XLR jacks.

Features:
- High-quality PCB, compact size, plated throuh holes, double-sided
- Push Buttons with customizable color button caps
- Polarity Reverse Switch
- -20dB Pad Switch
- Mic/Instrument Select Switch
- ACTIVE DI, with true balanced outputs.
- 1/4" Hi-Z inputs
- Easy connection to existing preamp like the SC-1 Kit
- Uses 18-0-18V DC power (use our PSU-1848 PSU Kit)

Audio Sample: SC-1 preamp was used for both recordings, and we alternate listening between a MINI-IO Active DI Kit and a R***** Active DI (costs $199). Recordings courtesy of Farview Recording. If you listen closely, you'll hear a slight tick when the tracks are changed between the two.
