PreSonus TubePre V2 Review / Test
Video: https://youtu.be/TrKg-189ifE
Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the relatively affordable tube microphone preamp; the Presonus TubePre V2. With this preamp you're getting +65dB of gain with a quoted EIN of -131dBu A-Weighted which is pretty darn good. You're also getting a drive dial which allows you to full on distort your audio input which can be incredibly fun.
