  1. Hi Dave,

    I think you are right. I've just tried sending a signal from the unit to an 8 ohm speaker. You can hear it through the speaker but it is very quiet.

    This supports what you say about the 16 watts being the power supply not the output.

    I can also confirm the two outputs both send the same level of line level signal which is much stronger than usual.

    Hope this helps

    Nick


    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='688226' date='Dec 18 2009, 11:41 AM']Maybe I'm misreading the spec at the Presonus site but isn't that 16 watts the power supply not the power output?[/quote]

  2. Hi Chris, I'm not sure to be honest. I would guess it could power small speaker probably around 20-30watts due to the 16 Watts power capacity.
    This might be worth checking with PreSonus.
    Sorry I can't be of much help.
    Cheers

    Will this pre, like a Phil Jones pre, drive a speaker?

  3. [b][size=4][color="#0000FF"]PreSonus TubePre Preamp[/color][/size][/b]

    [size=3]I bought this for a low output bass that I used to have but ended up selling.

    This tube preamp is in [b]‘as new’ [/b]condition. It has only been checked on delivery to ensure full working order, but it is [b]not actually used[/b]. All the original packaging and documents are in the box.

    What’s more it is only 2 months old so still has [b]10 months warranty [/b](original receipt included).
    These pre-amps are great as a DI unit & you get more clarity and bottom end punch.

    New, boxed with instructions and UK power pack.
    I'm after around [b]£75 + £6 P&P[/b] (UK) or the nearest offer

  4. After being PM'd by someone asking to explain the options around which sources are good for theory I thought it would be good to share my response with all fellow Bass Chat folks.

    [color="#FF0000"][b]Which sources do you recommend for studying theory?[/b][/color]
    [color="#0000FF"]
    Mmm.…theory - tricky one really. I would recommend finding a good tutor your end to guide you through what can be a complicated subject if it's not explained properly. Books wise, the most formal route are the ABRSM grade books in theory. They are rather formal but you won't miss a trick.

    ABRSM cover treble & bass clefs & alto. Would make sense to start at grade 1 and breeze through rather than starting at grade 3 and getting confused due to there be holes in places.

    A word of warning you may be better off doing your performance grades with RGT THEN do theory afterwards for two reasons:

    1) RGT bass performance grades include theory (This theory may be sufficient for you with the tutor chipping in extra bits)

    2) The ABRSM Theory grades require serious ground work and are classically orientated

    Hope this helps
