Works perfect in my home studio. Makes the sound even better from my Gemini 5 Tube Mic. I have used it with Shure SM7B and Røde NT-2 as well, and makes the sound great, and I can easy control the level trim at the input of my Steinberg UR44 interface. It produces a little hiss when gain is passing +30 dB, even when I listen to the signal direct on the headphone output.
