I can't wait to leave the ZM Ironpre Bal preamp out of the audio chain.
But it is such a great sounding preamp!
Interesting thought....I'll have to try it the other way around ... the iron pre driven by the B1K... just becauseFirst listening test. Korg B1 driven by ZM Ironpre Bal.
(I don't have input pots at the moment.)
Of course that 10dB plus a little bit more than it needs.
Yet, it have a pleasant sound, bass is surprisingly good, for example.
There is some problem, others faced it as well I think.
So, fight against microphonics: 😉
