Thanks Jordan! Directing you guys long enough, and some of your tricks will eventually rub off LOL!
Hmmm... Fireface is a TOUGH comparison. WAY too much voodoo to do a straight up comparo, but off the top off my head, I would think the RNP prolly offers up a bit more headroom and output, but the RME is probably sonically cleaner (maybe even a little more neutral). Both would offer up great results though. The deciding vote would depend on what interface you used with the RNP, but the combo of RNP+RNC would still leave you $500 to get a decent A/D interface to match the price of the RME...
I just looked up Ronin. Good stuff there. Now I need to get my hands on a P-Solo...
Yea that would be an interesting shootout. RME is well known for their excellent A/D conversion. I wonder how the fireface conversion would compare to a $500 converter. Hmm...You can just call up RME and have them send you a test unit no problem, right? ;)
Great review Juan. I wonder how you developed such great voice acting skills there! :)
ReplyDeleteThis preamp is on my list to try out someday. I'm very curious as to how it compares with the built-in preamps of the RME fireface 400.
Ronin, of ronin's recording show, did a $500 preamp shootout which included the FMR RNP too. You should check it out - interesting results.
