Product Description

The Joemeek three Q is the perfect link between your music and your computer. It will bring out the best qualities of your music by giving it the gloss of a professional recording studio, at a fraction of the cost. Built into a compact ½ rack chassis, we used the same Burr-Brown IC's for the Mic Pre that you'll find in our more expensive studio channels. We then added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical Compressor, for that signature Meek sound. With inputs to accept everything between microphone and instrument levels, the three Q sounds much larger than it's size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic preamp, September 14, 2009

This is a great preamp for the price range if you only need one input preamped. I do a podcast and so only record myself, generally. This has a built in compressor and equalizer which add to the cost/benefit ratio. The 60dbs of preamp gain should be able to handle most dynamic and condenser mics. I can't say enough good things about this preamp, it's easily equal to one in the $500 range.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Money, December 19, 2006

I did a lot of research about Joe Meeks gear before buying the 3Q. It's important to know that the company has been revitalized and the quality of this unit surpassed my expectations. I can't say enough good things about this unit. It has single-handedly taken my little home studion to a "whole nubba lebel". I am going to buy another one of these units. It's easy to use, it adds just the right amount of character, and the compressor and pre-amp are suprisingly great sounding.
