Ever since watching the shootout and favorable review of the True Systems P-Solo single channel mic preamp on Ronan’s Recording Show, I can’ stop thinking about the P-Solo. In the shootout it beat FMR Audio RNP and Black Lion Auteur preamps on any source. I shot straight to the top of my gear wish list, and partly because of it’s reasonable price around $500 US. I may even own one by the end of the year.
There’s lots to like about the P-Solo:
- Sturdy construction
- Large gain knob
- Lots of clean gain
- Simple Metering
- Full size IEC power supply
- Dual balanced output
- Instrument Input
- It’s shiny red!
If you’re a regular reader of AGZ you’ll know my interface is a Profire 2626, I’ve already got 8 decent preamps, from Ronan’s review and shootout it doesn’t seem like going with the RNP or Auteur would be much of a step up in quality, different colors but not universally better. The P-Solo seems to be a well built, all-around quality piece of gear, a nice upgrade for my home studio.

One problem…I can’t find any in Canada!
