This two channel microphone/instrument preamplifier delivers the best of both worlds offering a solid state preamplifier stage and a tube preamplifier stage in each channel. This dual path feature delivers both fat warm tube tone or invisible solid state transparency. Each channel includes a -20dB pad, polarity reverse, 80Hz filter, and +48v phantom power. Front panel controls include solid state GAIN control and switchable on/off TUBE DRIVE. When the TUBE DRIVE is clicked off, the tube preamplifier stage is bypassed delivering ultra-quiet and transparent preamplification. The front panel also includes illuminated analog VU meters for each channel for easy visual monitoring. The inputs are professional-quality Neutrik Combo connectors for inputting both XLR and 1/4" TS sources. Outputs include both XLR and TS jacks allowing for ultimate flexibility.
