Function of the Preamp in a Professional Recording Studio

Video Transcript

I am Matt Bodi with Up All Night Productions located in Miami, Florida. You can find us online at www.upallnightpro.com. What I am going to show you now is a preamp. Now this preamp is a universal M610 two preamplifier; very, very important piece of equipment in any recording studio. What the preamp does is it takes the signal from the microphone and it amplifies it. It boosts the frequencies that you need to boost in order to get that full sound of the voice. Now a preamp has many different settings; you have a mike input and then you also have a line input, so we can also take the sounds from the keyboard and fatten them up through the preamp and that will be the line input. You have the gain, which you can go from -10 to +10, also amplifying the sound and then you have the boost right here which you can boost the high frequencies, the mid frequencies or you can have it off. Same thing here; this is called the low cut, what the low cut does is it cuts out the bass. Let’s say for example you didn’t want too much bass on a certain sound, you would have the low cut set it at 140 or 70 or you could have it off. This is the main level and a preamp, like I said, a very important piece of equipment for any recording studio.
