When choosing an audio interface, preamps<\/span> are often overlooked despite the significant role they play in determining what a recording actually sounds like. A well-spec\u2019d audio interface with bad preamps<\/span> will result in a bad recording. Why?\u00a0 Because preamps<\/span> are the ears of your DAW. How well a preamp<\/span> performs determines the sound quality of your recording.<\/p>\n

Check out these 5 tips for choosing an audio interface<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Ever since digital multitrack recording became accessible<\/span> to the \u201ceveryday\u201d musician in the nineties, Roland has been developing ground-breaking<\/span> products, starting with the DM-80, the VS-880<\/a> and the RAP-10. This deep knowledge and long-term experience of creating digital recording products is evident in Roland’s three latest audio interfaces, the STUDIO-CAPTURE<\/a>, OCTA-CAPTURE<\/a> and QUAD-CAPTURE.<\/a> All three interfaces feature VS PREAMP technology to ensure your music has the best sonic clarity possible.<\/p>\n

Preamps<\/span> are one of the most important components in an audio interface. They provide the ability to connect dynamic and condenser microphones and can supply dedicated phantom power to mics<\/span> that require it. Basically, a microphone’s<\/span> signal level is very limited and needs to be amplified to achieve suitable recording levels.<\/p>\n

In addition, the preamp<\/span> has to minimize noise which can be introduced during the amplification process. Preamp<\/span> design that provides proper gain and avoids noise requires long-term and precise knowledge of circuit design. Quality preamps<\/span> are essential for high quality recordings.<\/p>\n

What are VS PREAMPs?<\/em><\/h2>\n

Roland’s VS PREAMPs are widely acclaimed for their pristine and transparent sound. Developed from the same class A preamp<\/span> circuitry found in our V-Mixer series of professional mixing consoles, these premium-quality mic<\/span> preamps<\/span> deliver an accurate, neutral<\/span> sound across the entire frequency spectrum, with no bias toward any particular frequency band.<\/p>\n

VS PREAMPs also deliver lots of headroom. Increasing the headroom in mic<\/span> preamps<\/span> typically results in problems with the signal-to-noise ratio; however, with our latest power supply circuitry, we’re able to minimize noise levels while providing a wider dynamic range. With huge headroom and top-level sound quality, you can easily record sources with a wide dynamic range, such as acoustic drums and percussion instruments, with professional results.<\/p>\n

Quality preamps are absolutely vital to quality recordings and an essential part of any audio interface. Roland’s VS PREAMPs provide low noise with high-quality, class A circuitry and huge headroom, bringing pro-quality recording with stunning clarity to your studio.<\/p>\n
