Mike Avenaim’s Take On The M808A
We recently had the pleasure of Mike Avenaim and Brogan Dutcher creating several amazing demo videos of the M808A dual-channel preamp in action at Mike’s recording studio. The duo created an entire playlist and an array of possible sounds with the M808A preamplifier, showcasing recorded drums and bass guitar sources, with various ribbons, condensers, and dynamic mics. They recorded a huge-sounding intro jam with one condenser microphone on the drum kit and bass guitar DI into the M808A cranked into beautiful saturation.
