The SPL GoldMike Mk2 Preamp is a dual channel microphone and instrument preamplifier that combines Class-A transistor with a tube preamplifier, allowing you do dial in the tone, character, and saturation that you want - crafting the perfect sound.
The SPL GoldMike Mk2 Preamp's transistor stage is composed of single transistors in a Class A design. The circuitry is fully discrete, and each transistor is completely optimized for its specific task. You will not find any IC's in this preamplifier stage because they cannot be optimized for this specific application to the degree we at SPL aim for. The SPL Gold Mike MK II Dual Channel Preamp sports the selection of three different tube pre-amplifications: +6 dB remains the standard complemented by +12 dB and +18 dB. This allows creative variety with the tube saturation and limiting effects.
The Flair circuitry makes use of the specific harmonical behaviour of coils. This broadband filter adds a touch of presence that help almost any vocal to better stand-out in the mix. The pre-output stage Peak and/or FET mode limiters can be used to protect an AD converter from clipping, or for example to add punch to drum tracks, which in turn reduces or in many cases even eliminates the need for subsequent compression.
