(contenu en anglais)The Ampex 351 is a single channel tube based preamplifier. The studio that I used this in had four of them, which was really awesome as it allowed you to have two stereo pairs of use with the 351 if you wanted to. We did indeed have all four of them going at a time for a drum session. I'm unsure of the connections that it has since they were already racked in the studio that I was using them in, but it does have a 1/4" headphone jack in the front of it. The 351 is made up of analog components and real tubes, and will take up a hearty four spaces in a traditional sized rack casing.
UTILIZATION
Using the Ampex 351 isn't too difficult, but it does have more parameters than you would expect from a vintage piece of gear like this one. The main knobs include parameters for record and playback level, as well as for equalization, and choosing your metering and your input source. So while there isn't too much to know with the 351, it does have some extra parameters not often found on today's preamplifiers that you will need to get used to. I don't know anything about the manual as I never had a need for one and is one that would definitely be hard to find anyway.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound of the Ampex 351 is extremely thick and warm, making it great for applications of all types. It definitely has a 'vintage' sound to it, producing that certain level of thickness and grittiness all in one. I've used the 351s for recording both drums (snare drum and kick drum) as well as for both acoustic and electric guitar. While I didn't like the sound as much for acoustic guitar, for electric it sounded beautiful and the same goes for the drums. In general I think the 351s are best for heavy sorts of sounds rather than for bright acoustic instruments, but I'm sure that other users have found uses for it beyond what I've done.
OVERALL OPINION
I wouldn't really know where to start if I were looking to purchase an Ampex 351, as they are pretty hard to come by. I've been lucky enough to do some work in a studio that has four of them, but I haven't really seen them anywhere else. If you come across an Ampex 351 I would definitely recommend not hesitating and using it to see what you can do with it as it is definitely a worthwhile experience for engineers who love vintage tube gear...40

attention les composants electroniques n ont rien a voir avec les autres modeles de la même marque,même le 350!qui pourtant a la même façade.(lá sur la photo d´AF c est le 350,on voit le transfo qui est externe..)
UTILISATION
On/off,on selectionne line ou micro puis on règle le gain,voilà ,c est tout...
ah faut attendre que les lampes chauffent afin que le son s équilibre...
les autres réglages ne servent a rien ,ça servait quand on le branchait a un enregistreur a bande....
QUALITÉ SONORE
Le son sort chaud ,rond et détaillé a la fois (comme on me l avait dit et je confirme,ça s entend et ça se voit grafiquement!…Lire la suiteA lampes ,7 au total,du vrai vintage, xlr in,xlr out.rack

QUALITÉ SONORE
Le son sort chaud ,rond et détaillé a la fois (comme on me l avait dit et je confirme,ça s entend et ça se voit grafiquement!)
selon le choix des lampes le son sort different,on peux s amuser a passer du plus chaud au plus transparant.
AVIS GLOBAL
Je l utilise depuis peu ,les ri cains depuis 1945!j aime la maniere qu il colore les voix(les voix sortent plus agreable),faut que je teste sur des instrus...des mix...
c est mon 1er preampli a lampes...
le prix?..ça fait mal au portefeuille mais bon quand on veut de la qualité ...
parait-il que elvis presley et franck sinatra l ont utiliser...oui je referais ce choix
je l ai vendu ,sniff,je l ai changer contre un LA-610 universal audio(plus d options..)Lire moins31
