FMR RNP 8380

As soon as i got an FMR RNP and wanted to test it out. The RNP can do pretty much anything pretty well. Being a guitarplayer, i think the RNP is a better choice for me. Sounded awesome and has a great build quality. I found the RNP 8380 to be an excellent all-purpose preamp, providing unhyped clarity without artificially glossing the high end. It is versatile on primary sources like vocals, guitar, keyboards, synths, piano, drums, bass, etc. It works well with all types of mics, it has phantom power for condensers. It has enough gain for ribbons and dynamics too.
After all and like the name says, it's a Really Nice Preamp.
Love The FMR RNP. It's the best pre I have and it's a huge improvement for me.

Superb quality

I have used the compressor from FMR for years and bought this to do some location recording. It’s simply the best for its price and size, works really well on ribbon mics that need lots of gain, silent and quality sounding

Good clean gain at an affordable price
roccapl 19.07.2022
Good small preamp that I generally use as to record guitars and basses directly on the interface (it has both microphone and Hi-Z inputs). It has inserts so it can be paired easily with his brother the RNC (really nice compressor). The 66 dB stepped gain (+6dB steps) is very useful when using stereo pairs of microphones to perfectly match the gain. Soundwise it's a very transparent. Every studio should have one. Even Steve Albini recommends it.

A very useful tool, for many types of instruments
mbrancalion 11.07.2018
I use mine for recording voice, violins and acoustic guitars by using condenser and ribbon mics, and for recording stereo electronics keyboard and electric bass (direct).

In my opinion it's a quite transparent preamp, and helps keeping the natural sound of whatever gets connected to it, without degrading dynamic and spectral aspects.

Eventually, 2 channels are too few: in the future i'll buy another one :)

NOTE: if future versions had even some basic eq filtering, like some high-pass switch or knob, it would be even better ...

Great transparent preamp
James2242 28.06.2014
I really like this pre, it was a huge step up from stock pre I had at the time. It's nice and clean with a lot of headroom. It's hard to find fault for the price. My only recommendation would be to make a four channel that's got rack attachments already included.
