286 S : Great mic processor with unreliable gate
Pros:
- The preamp has most of the features one would want in an all-in-one mic processor. Maximum gain (60dB) is almost enough to drive Shure SM7, if you have a loud voice/other loud source. But I use it with a FetHead and dial gain down to 40dB for a total of around 67.
- Sounds decent and is easy to use.
Cons:
- One unfortunate thing is that after a prolonged period of silence in signal (several minutes) sometimes gate would not fully open by medium-level signal and would produce crackling noise. Maybe my exact unit is defective.
- Does not have a power switch
