Mic preamp Shootout - UA Apollo 8 vs Focusrite ISA 428 vs UA 4-710d

Hi! In this video we’re going to compare the Universal Audio Apollo 8, Focusrite ISA 428, and Universal Audio 4-710d.

I used a Oktava MK 012 stereo pair for overheads, Shure Beta 52 for the Kick, and Shure SM58 for the Snare Drum.

If you have any questions I would love to answer them.

I hope you enjoy it and I would appreciate your like, comment, and subscription so you can get the latest videos.
