Product Description

The TUBEPre is a single channel preamp based on a 12AX7 vacuum tube circuit that provides a stable, transformer-free signal path. The unit can be used as the first stage of a live or studio system, as a mic preamp or direct box. The dual-servo gain stage design employs no capacitors providing ultra-low noise performance and wide dynamic control that allows the TUBEPre to boost the desirable signal without increasing unwanted background noise. The TUBEPre offers an astonishing frequency range of 10Hz to 80kHz with a noise floor of 94dBu and a signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 90dB. This means the TUBEPre can provide both a high-quality, crystal clear sound as well as a colored saturation tube effect. Other features on the TUBEPre include 48v phantom power for condenser microphones, phase reverse, 20dB Pad and 80Hz rumble filter.
