5.0 out of 5 stars Buen amplificador de bulbo.
Reviewed in Mexico on May 18, 2021
Es buena, la uso en un estudio, la he conectado con micrófonos como neuman, antelope, akg, warm y se oye muy bien. El bulbo le da una buena calidez y color a la voz. Quizá el único punto que no me gusta es que no tiene un botón para apagarse, debes conectar directamente la corriente.
