The most noble character of microphone preamplifiers now fully integrated with digital workflow. Dual amp vintage design with most demanded modern features! We are proud to present _PHOEBE – NG500 fully analog, Class A microphone/line/instrument preamplifier with digital recall. Audio signal is processed only via analog components! At a glance:
- +28 dBu of analog headroom: +28 dBu of analog headroom – Class A fully analog – inspired by famous British design based on dual amp topology.
- Input and output transformers: PHOEBE is fully transformer balanced unit faithful to its vintage ancestors.
- Plenty of GAIN!: Microphone gain up to 75dB – high gain perfect for low level microphones!
- Recallable signal source!: Keep two source connected and easily recall via DAW plug-in between XLR Socket (LINE/MIC), or front panel XLR/TS socket (LINE/MIC/Instrument).
- OUTPUT passive attenuation up to 15dB!: PAD – passive output attenuation circuit with 1 dB step (after the output transformer) managed via relay cascade.
- Switchable input impedance!: Input impedance can be changed from 1200 ohm to 300 ohm for perfect integration with vintage microphones!
- Precise signal metering!: Fully integrated with DAW plug-in – output signal metering, with CLIP detection!
- Full remote control!: From now on You can use Your preamplifier wherever convinient and manage everythying from Your sweet spot!
