I'm looking for opinions on the Benchmark Media mic preamps.

I am about to buy 16 channels of mic preamps, and am leaning towards
either 16 channels of FMR Really Nice Preamp, or 8 channels of the FMR
RNP and 8 channels of somethine else like the Audient ASP-008 8 channel
mic preamp.

Another option would be the Benchmark Media MF-1 MicroFrame with 16
channels of MP-2 mic preamps. This would be 16 channels of mic pre in a
1U rack. These MP-2 mic preamps are SMT versions of the mic preamp
circuits in the Benchmark Media MPS-400.

Has anyone had any experience with these Benchmark Media mic preamps,
the MPS-400 or the MP-2 in the MF-1 MicroFrame?

And, can you compare the sound quality to the FMR RNP?

I will be using the preamps for recording bands, drums/guitars/vocals,
in live and studio situations.

Thanks,
Simon
