The Brent Averill 312A "500 Series" mic preamps, made using the new Avedis 1122™ opamps, are punchy, have great bass and have a clear, extended top end. The sound is in your face and they don't compress transients. The low end is tight with good attack. They are excellent for drums and percussion. These pres are very cost effective. Many people buy racks of 6 or 11 to cover the entire drum kit.
