Gearank Recommendation
The VMS-ONE appeared on our recommended list for Microphone Preamps from April 2020 where it remained until March 2021 when it was out-ranked by other preamps.
Overview
Designed by famed audio designer Paul Wolff of API, the VMS-ONE by Slate Digital is meant to be a linear sounding preamp to complement their Modelling Microphone series.
While its primary purpose is to be part of a mic and preamp modelling system, the VMS-ONE holds its own as a standalone preamp for regular condenser mics.
