The MANLEY Dual Mono Microphone Preamp is an all-tube microphone primarily intended for use with modern capacitor (condenser) microphones. Now, 40 to 60 dBs of gain, enough for most ribbon mics, are selectable in precise 5dB steps by varying the amount of overall negative feedback on the GAIN switch. This is a very interesting feature indeed, allowing you to change the slew rate (speed), placement, and tonal balance of the sound from mellow and "tubey-er" through to faster, punchier and more aggressive. See "Notes on Variable Feedback" for more info. Tube complements include 1 x 12AX7EH hand-selected for lowest noise, and 1 x 6414 per channel for each high-current output stage. Each unit is painstakingly hand wired using silver solder and audiophile-grade componentry. Double shielded custom-built power transformers and custom-built high capacity reservoir capacitors demonstrate Manley's modern power supply design approach. The front panel 1/4" DIRECT INPUT jack lets this preamplifier serve double duty as a pure tube line stage for instruments such as bass, drum machines, and keyboards when you need to get your tunes through some tubes before hitting a sterile digital recorder. Total gain in this mode becomes 20dB less than indicated on the GAIN switch. Both transformer coupled balanced and direct (via humongous metalized film MultiCaps) capacitor coupled unbalanced outputs are provided giving you the choice of audiophile- purist or big iron sounds. Perennial shoot-out winners, Manley single-ended preamp designs have become favorites among top engineers and home recordists alike looking for "that rich Manley sound with the tight bass and the top end that goes on forever" which begs to go direct to tape. It's a BIG sounding micpre.

The Gigpro is a single-channel belt clip preamp that will work with most pickups. It also provides 9V phantom power for mini-mics and other phantom powered onboard electronics. We have pared the features down to the bare essentials but you will find everything you need to get the best sound possible from your pickup. The EQ, for example, has only two bands plus a variable low cut but you will be amazed at how flexible and intuitive it is to use. The circuitry is generally modeled after the ever-popular Para Acoustic D.I. but we have made several key innovations. First, the circuitry is 100% Class A and discrete from input to output. Secondly, we have designed the circuitry in a way that makes the sound of the preamp almost tube like. Third, the EQ is entirely passive. Fourth, we have used only the highest grade audiophile components. When you add it up, the Gigpro is the best sounding, easiest to use, most effective and quietest preamp that we have ever created. Big things do come in small packages.

The ART TUBE MP Project Series Preamp for Microphone and Instrument can also make your voice sound fabulous, warmed and made silky smooth by the genuine 12AX7A tube inside. A makeover of the popular original, the Tube MP features an ultra low-noise discrete mic preamp front end that has an extremely flat, wide frequency response and can handle very low and high signal levels with minimum coloration. High impedance instrument input bypasses the mic preamp circuitry for a shorter signal path. External power supply minimizes AC line noise and hum.Input gain control and switch maximizes dynamic range of input and lets you control how hard you drive the tube. Switchable input impedance on the XLR in optimizes mic response. Bessel switchable low-cut filter removes rumble and wind noise. Set at 40Hz, it won't overly affect bass tonality. XLR input features phantom power of +48V DC from a very quiet internal high voltage power supply.The Tube MP Project Series Preamp has an FET limiter with fast attack and musical release times that protect other gear in the chain without compression. This allows you to maximize the dynamic range of your signal before converting to digital. A phase invert switch lets you switch signal polarity at the source to minimize cancellation. Output control after the tube and limiter matches output level to a wide variety of systems. Added output section at the end of the signal path has enhanced signal drive capability to both output jacks.

"The sound of this new guitar pickup is as close to that of a good quality mic as you've ever heard from a guitar pickup..." The HFN-S2 models give you a sound that is much more realistic and acoustic than any pickup on a Selmer that you have ever heard before. More realism in attack, more realism in overall response, these pickups actually allow your instrument to sound just as good plugged in as it does unplugged. The only thing missing from the HFN-S2 in a Selmer is the 'quack' that everyone has come to expect and accept in acoustic pickups. Along with being simple to install, the HFN-S2's have excellent feedback rejection and good string to string balance. As well, there is nothing artificial about the sound of the HFN-S2's and the usual sound from the typical Selmer bridge pickup is replaced with the actual acoustic sound of the instrument. Active System - Artist II+1 Preamp Included The HFN-S2 series of pickups was designed to use a preamp; this is the Artist model, which includes the matching Artist II+1 endpin preamp. The new Artist II+1 preamp is a dual channel preamp - the second channel can be used to connect another pickup, such as a magnetic pickup, to the endpin jack. The Artist II preamp can be remotely powered by the CAB-1 Phantom Power cable (not included). In the absence of phantom power, the RP-1 Remote Power Module (not included) can be used to supply 18 volts of power to the preamp. Both of these options allow an installation that does not require a battery inside the guitar. This version of the Artist II+1 preamp includes a soundhole mounted volume control wired to the preamp for the S2 pickup. The second channel does not have a volume control, but the gain adjustments on the preamp allow setting the relative levels for each channel independently. If you need a volume control for the second channel, consider the HFN-S2-Artist II+2 pickup, which has dual volume controls.

Practice without disturbing others! Can also be used as a preamp Simple connection, guitar in, headphones out Runs on a standard 9V battery  

2-channel Instrument Preamp with Boost, 2 Piezo Boosters, 3-band EQ, Notch Filter, High-pass Filter, Separate DIs for House Mix and Monitoring, and Tuner Out with Footswitchable Mute

Black Pre features transformer- balanced mic and line inputs and a discrete, single-ended Class A signal path. A front panel mounted 1/4" jack is provided for the high-impedance instrument/digita l input box. The microphone preamp has separate switched gain controls for the mic and line inputs, as well as a 10dB-range fine trim gain control. A continuously variable, 12db/octave high-pass filter, polarity switch, 48V phantom power and peak level indication via a 12 segment LED display are also provided. The proprietary HMX control adds musically relevant harmonics, providing a character reminiscent of classic vacuum tube designs.

This preamp features stellar phono specs and performance, then adds on top of that the ability to also accept two microphones, either electret (condensor) or dynamic, to allow stereo live recording. These mike inputs are MUCH better than the ones found on most PC sound cards, because not only do they provide a superior signal-to-noise ratio, they work properly with dynamic mikes and musical instrument pickups which do not require a bias voltage (sound card mike inputs generally will not work properly with these, resulting in very poor reproduction). Classy retail packaging makes this a super gift choice for the budding musician or recording enthusiast....

The cutaway Takamine TAN15C Supernatural Series Acoustic- Electric Guitar with Cool Tube Preamp puts a twist on the usual dreadnought sound with a beautiful solid cedar top, precision- scalloped bracing, and a solid rosewood back for a distinct tonal difference. The rosewood fingerboard is inlay-free for a very clean look. The simple appearance is tastefully enhanced by a skillfully inlaid abalone rosette and gold tuners with amber pearl buttons.The Cool Tube Preamp (CTP-1) provides a cornucopia of tonal tools for rich piezo sounds. A revolutionary development straight from Takamine, The CTP-1 is an onboard acoustic- electric preamp that uses a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube for a touch of tube sparkle and magic. The Cool Tube gets its name from unique technology that runs the tube at very low voltages; therefore the tube does not glow or produce high levels of heat (2-3 degrees above ambient). Takamine players will find a useful array of features in the CTP-1 to enhance their recording or live performance applications, including a chromatic tuner, shelving, graphic EQ, semiparametric midrange EQ, and a rotary Cool Tube control that selects the effect the tube places on the signal coming from the proven Palathetic pickup. There is also an auxiliary input jack and volume knob for control of an additional pickup. The AUX control knob is used to blend the add-on signal with the Takamine pickup, and a small switch in the back of the preamp can be used to match the varying outputs of different pickups with the preamp. The CTP-1 is powered by 4 AA batteries, which will deliver approximately 24 hours of playing time.The CTP-1 fits neatly into the exclusive Takamine SoundChoice docking port, making it easy to choose from six distinctly different preamps, giving you several great options to fit your personal style and taste.

The Solid State Logic Alpha VHD Preamp transforms your DAW audio interface from cold and thin to warm and fat. Whether you need to track pristine vocals, massive drums, or electric guitars on the edge of sonic destruction, the VHD Pre delivers a powerful and versatile sound shaping tool kit - the perfect analogue companion to your digital recording system. Based on the VHD circuit from the acclaimed SSL Duality console, the VHD Pre adds four SSL mic preamps to any line level DAW audio interface, transforming it into a professional quality, multi-channel analogue recording system. Solid State Logic Alpha VHD Preamp Features Ultra-clean SSL preamp with 75dB of gain 48V phantom power 20dB Pad switches that illuminate to indicate overload Hi Z switches to accommodate mic, line and instrument level signals Four independent Variable Harmonic Drive systems Front panel 1/4 inch jack instrument/line level inputs with passive DI type impedance detection and level matching Individual input, output and VHD controls for each section Rear panel XLR mic/line inputs and XLR outputs The four ultra-clean, high-grade mic preamps are combined with independent Variable Harmonic Drive circuits that use 100% analogue signal paths to generate rich harmonic distortion - adding SSL analogue attitude to your digital recordings. As you increase the input gain, the Variable Harmonic Drive circuit introduces a blendable mix of 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion to your source material, taking it from gentle valve-style warmth through to trashy transistoresque grunge. It’s a new world of overdriven possibilities. Variable Harmonic Drive It may look like just another knob, but our VHD (Variable Harmonic Drive) preamp is far from a traditional linear gain control - it’s more like a time machine of overdrive characteristics. When VHD is used in conjunction with the input gain control, a huge variety of preamp sounds can be created, from gentle warming to serious distortion. At relatively low input gain settings the VHD Pre preamps deliver transparent signals with all of the sonic fidelity you’d expect from SSL. As the input gain setting is increased, more of the signal is passed to the Variable Harmonic Drive circuit, increasing the intensity of the effect from subtle to extreme. By adjusting the VHD control the distortion characteristics can be shifted from ‘50s valve-style overdrive (if the VHD selection control is turned fully anti-clockwise for 2nd harmonic distortion) to ‘70s transistor-style grit (if the VHD selection control is turned fully clockwise for 3rd harmonic distortion)… or a blend of the two. As a feature of Duality , XLogic E Signature Channel and XLogic Alpha Channel , VHD is used in studios around the world and is rapidly establishing itself as the ‘go-to’ tool that allows modern producers to achieve a sound that evokes the sonic heritage of SSL while adding a strong contemporary edge.

Schatten Design has just released a new and upgraded Artist II model endpin jack preamp. This is the same preamp that is now supplied with their HFN series of guitar pickups, RG-03-A resonator pickup, and TC-A tricone pickup, and is now available separately for use with existing passive pickup systems. External Power Options The Artist II preamp is now capable of running from virtually any power source. It can be run from a 9 volt battery onboard the instrument or by any outboard power source between 11 and 48 volts such as Phantom Power as provided by a mixer, PA system, amp or outboard battery pack. This multi power capability is not just an option, it comes as a standard feature. The Artist II preamp is an excellent choice for resonator guitars, archtop guitars and other instruments that have limited access to the inside of the instrument. Since the Artist II can be powered from an external source, there is no need to install a battery inside the instrument. A special cable (part #CAB-1) is required to run from either phantom power or battery pack. Dual Channel Support The Artist II preamp has two separate channels. Each channel has an adjustable gain control from 0 db to 24 db to allow presetting of the balance between the two channels. You can use Schatten pickups for one or both channels, and this preamp also will match up well with virtually any other piezo crystal pickup from any manufacturer and as such is a good replacement preamp for other brands as well. Artist II Options Soundhole mounted thumbwheel volume control (Artist II Plus 1) Dual thumbwheel volume controls (Artist II Plus 2) CAB-1 cable - allows you to run from outboard power sources RP-1 remote power module (18 volts) allows you to run from an outboard power source when mixer/PA/amp Phantom Power is not available (requires CAB-1 cable) Specifications Power: 9 volts Input Impedance: 10 M ohms Output Impedance: 5 k ohms
