| I bought this to boost the levels of dynamic mics for recording. It does that very well, with very little coloration and very little noise. It is a flexible, well built unit, and the metering is nice. If you need a good quiet clean boost this is great. It is not a color or warmth adding unit, but a good clean preamp. | |

| We do all our composing on our computers and already use an M-Audio interface and only occasionally wished we could have 1 or 2 more inputs. This product is a superb solution for just that, the price is right, and the quality and specs are extremely high. It was important to us to have a preamp that was not the weak link in an otherwise top-notch system, and this definitely fit the bill. It has 2 mic and/or instrument ins, Phantom power, VU meters, extremely low distortion, and a great frequency range. We use it for 2 guitars, sometimes a mic, sometimes our electronic drums, and we couldn't be happier with it's performance and convenience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! We would buy again from this seller anytime also!! | |

| With audio interfaces improving every year, and preamps on them getting better, the DMP3 preamps may no longer be as value for money as it once was.The DMP3 was slightly more "hi-fi sounding" than the preamps on the H4n. A case for getting the DMP3 would be if you are on a budget and need two more preamps on top of the two your recording interface already has. One other reason would be that your audio interface has no preamps (as per some sound cards). On the whole, if you're looking for a big sonic "upgrade" from your audio interface preamps, you might need to spend quite a bit more. However, the DMP-3 works as advertised - transparent, clean gain is available for the quietest source you have. | |

| The DMP3 is a solid preamp for the home studio enthusiast. To beat it, you have to spend a few hundred dollars more. If you are looking for an upgrade from a Mackie or similar mixer, this is probably not the unit for you. However, if you don't plan on using a mixer and your budget is under $200, the DMP3 should be at the top of your list. I would recommend the DMP3 to anyone who is looking for a first preamp or just wanting to expand a current setup. | |

| This preamp is for serious musician on a tight budget that wants to either upgrade current mic preamps or add additional pair of amplified channels to his audio system inputs. It doesn't have any compression, or EQ, only what is needed to get the job done. It can be used in semi-pro situations no problem. For a great price it brings a great deal of signal freshness to your audio setup, so I recommend it to anyone who wants an extremely clean, extremely noise free 2 channel mic preamp that doesn't add any color, and doesn't stand in a way of you and making music. | |

| Pros: Low noise with plenty of gain. Neat desktop styling. Cons: Knobs could be a tighter fit. Summary: The DMP3 delivers extremely good performance at an affordable UK price. | |

| Despite the size problem, I think the DMP3 is a good preamp for a home studio. The most important trait of a preamp is how it sounds, and the DMP3 is fantastic in this regard. Two channels of transparent inputs with VU meters and phantom power is hard to beat. | |
