Vintage Style electronics. No integrated circuits in the signal path.
Maximum gain in MIC mode is 80 dB, enough to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources.
GAIN switch range 20 – 80 dB. GAIN/LINE mode switch, gain is reduced by 30 dB in LINE mode.
Selectable two position high frequency AIR boost eq, 3 or 6 dB @ 30 kHz.
Selectable 6 dB/octave two frequency high pass filter at around 40 (HP1) and 170 Hz (HP2).
Tantalum capacitors in the signal path.
Switchable impedance in MIC mode, 1200 or 300 Ohms, will change the tone of most mics. The input impedance in LINE mode is 10 kohm.
Switchable phantom power and absolute phase.
A high-impedance instrument input for any sound module, electric guitar or bass.
A simple but effective 4-step LED output level meter.
The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage(s) for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.
Combo XLR/TRS input jack and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections.
Insert jack for inserting EQ´s and other units.
Selectable 600 ohm output termination.
The pcb is prepared for the Carnhill input transformer.
External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers.
A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.
