Product Overview and Specifications
Audio Buddy

Dual Mic Preamp with Phantom Power and Direct Box
One of the first issues you confront when considering computer recording is the question of how to record microphone and instrument levels into your audio card. Many signals levels in your studio are too low to record, and need the help of a preamp to raise them to a level suitable for recording. The Audio Buddy is an ultra-quiet 2-channel preamp that offers the features and performance you need to track great sounding music.

Improve the quality of the audio you record
Inexpensive mic preamps are often included within products like mixers and soundcards. While convenient, they tend to be noisy and color your sound in an unpleasant way. What many people don't consider is the fact that the mic preamp is one of the most important links in your signal chain. If you cut corners there, your music will reflect it right away.

Basic connectivity tools for home recording
We created the Audio Buddy especially for computer recording. Whether you're recording vocals, guitar, or bass, the Audio Buddy will give you connectivity you need. The preamp provides phantom power for microphones that require additional power to operate. Direct Box functionality allows high impedance signals from sources such as guitars or basses recorded with optimal results.

I first bought this preamp for a phantom power source + preamp at a low cost. It isn't very noisy, but when recording drums with it I have had trouble with clipping, and there isn't all that much gain. One must keep in mind, though, that this is a double preamp for fifty dollars. Besides which, it works fine for micing acoustic instruments or amps.

This product absolutely astonished me. For how cheap it is, it can really give you a great sound. What's even better is that I ran it off of garageband and recording couldn't have been easier. I bought this just to have some fun with and so I could carry it around with me easily. Now I bring it everywhere I go and it's great. I would definitely reccomend this product to someone who's looking for a cheap and small recorder.
