512p Microphone Preamplifier

The Sound of a legendary recording Console

The Preamp that defined Rock'n'Roll

Consisting of two transformers and a discrete operational amplifier, this unit comes with the shortest possible signal path, delivering the in-your-face sound and harmonic colouration that has defined millions of records

Iron in

A carefully recreated input transformer welcomes even the most demanding microphone signals with a switchable 150 or 600 ohms impedance, ensuring transient response and phase accuracy for perfectly capturing every performance

True to the core

Up to 60dB of noise free gain, a classic 2520 footprint discrete operational amplifier delivers the harmonically pleasing sound that has set so many great recordings apart from modern IC-based counterparts

Level matched

We replaced the original units VU meter characteristic by a classic PEAK circuit - indicating exactly how hard you drive the output transformer, while the output level control sets your recording level in your DAW
