The Oram Octasonic Plus is a fine example of a simple multi-preamp unit done well: high-quality preamp design; versatile gain range; individual phantom power switches with LEDs; stepped gain controls; quick to setup and easy to use. The Octasonic Plus' preamps are impressively quiet and clean, but a modest amount of color can be introduced by pushing them towards their limit. This unit is highly suited for use as a high-quality analog front end for digital audio workstation-based studios and live recording duties, or combine with Oram's OctaEQ and OctaMix to create a full analog recording/mixing solution.
