Centrance Micport Pro..or Other Preamp in a Barrel?

Well, we expected to have tested a couple of the new "preamp/digital interfaces in a barrel" or "in-line" products by now....BUT--none of them have arrived.

We were excited about head-to-head test with some of our existing VO Mic Tests to compare the quality.

There is no doubt that the convenience and economy factor is a powerful plus for these types of units. I plan to switch to this work-flow for on-site client VO's.

There are lots of units to choose from reputable companies:
MXL
Centrance
Shure
Blue
..several others.

But my question is.... Is anyone using any of these devices for their day-to-day in-studio use. Have you replaced your "preamp to USB or FW to DAW" chain? And how does it compare to your old set-up?

You can remain anonymous if you like. I understand that "gear image" is very important to some clients. Your secret is completely safe with me.

Email me now. We all will appreciate it. Our future depends on it.
