521p Microphone Preamplifier
The Sound of Abbey Road Studios
The Preamp that made History
From The Beatles to Lady Gaga, from Pink Floyd to Red Hot Chili Peppers - the original units at Abbey Road Studios have seen a vast amount of hit potential run through them.
Clean Gain with Attitude
Stepped gain for repeatable results, up to 60dB of amplification, input PAD and switchable impedance will capture every nuance from hot driven condensers to even the most demanding ribbon mics.
Small Signals rule
All audio is switched by relays avoiding unnecessary routing, and with carefully recreated transformers on in- and output and the original amplifier section, this unit masters the balance between having a sound and... well, not.
Total Control
A bicolour LED gives indication over signal presence and overload in the amplifier stage, while the output level saves the A/D converters from clipping.
The high impedance DI-input flatters even the weakest guitars on their way in.
