Based around the circuitry in the acclaimed Portico 5045 – which has benefited countless tours, arenas, houses of worship and broadcast stages worldwide – the 545 is a mono device for vocal or instrumental applications, and is compatible with any 500-Series rack. Exceptionally useful at reducing feedback without negatively impacting the sonic integrity of the source, the 545 effectively increases the level of a live microphone signal before feedback occurs by up to 20dB. With simply laid out, easily adjustable controls, the 545 is an invaluable addition to any setup where feedback or reverberation are problematic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll Analogue Design- \u003c\/b\u003eThe 545 shares some traits with conventional \"noise gates\", but operates on a different principle. One common aspect is that both reduce the gain during the absence of signal – or more specifically, both begin to attenuate when the level of a signal falls below a certain user-defined threshold. The 545 senses when someone is speaking or singing into the mic and allows the signal to pass through, and senses when the person has stopped talking or singing and reduces the gain appropriately, reducing the system’s tendency to feed back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportantly, the 545 does not utilize filtering or digital processing to achieve its significant benefits. Built around Rupert Neve Designs’ custom input and output transformers, its all-analog circuitry provides superb control and sonic performance without compromising the integrity of the source material. This makes the 545 the most intuitive, natural-sounding and effective method of feedback control available on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple, Intuitive Controls- \u003c\/b\u003eWith a minimal control set, the 545’s ease of use makes it ideal even for circumstances where a full-time or experienced engineer is not readily available, and allows for rapid adjustments on-the-fly even during performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsage Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLive Music -\u003c\/b\u003e Trusted by engineers for artists like Madonna, Paul Simon, Maroon 5, \u0026amp; Beyonce to help limit feedback and to add focus to the vocal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHouse of Worship -\u003c\/b\u003e Used by churches large and small to get more level before feedback and tame reverberation in lavelier, lecturn, and choir mics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLive Broadcast - \u003c\/b\u003eUtilized on broadcasts like the Academy Awards for podium mics and live variety shows for lowering noise on stage mics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSports Arena -\u003c\/b\u003e Employed by dozens of NFL, NHL and NBA arenas to control feedback in referee and announcer mics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuditorium -\u003c\/b\u003e Can improve clarity for lectures, conferences, panels, and town halls with minimal adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEngage:\u003c\/b\u003e Illuminated push-button that engages the Primary Source Enhancer’s effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eActive:\u003c\/b\u003e This LED indicates when the 545 is actively affecting signal – a.k.a. when the input signal has overcome the enhancement threshold.

Without this button pressed, the 545 achieves a slower attack and release that is useful as a starting point for most sources.

It is one of the very few compressors that has become a real standard in Mastering studios and contributed to most hit records over the last decade and probably the next. \"Mu\" is tube-speak for gain, and Variable Mu® is Manley's registered trademark for this limiter compressor. It works by using the \"remote cut-off\" or re-biasing of a vacuum tube to achieve compression. The precious vintage Fairchild 670 also uses this technique and is one of few all-tube compressor to do so, that we know of. Even the side-chain has glowing rectifier bottles. How's it work? The unique 5670 dual triode is at the center of the peak-reducing and compression action constantly being re-biased by the vacuum tube rectified side-chain control voltages which cause this tube to smoothly change its gain. Just like that. All-tube, all transformer, an all-American legend. High Pass Side Chain mod now comes standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe COMPRESS mode is soft-knee 1.5 to 1 ratio while the sharper knee LIMIT mode starts at 4 to 1 and moves to a more dramatic ratio of 20 to 1 when limiting over 12dB. Interestingly, the knee actually softens as more limiting is used. Distortion can be creatively used by turning up the Input and turning down the Output while using very little or no compression. See the gain reduction curves here!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou might notice that the Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor has a ganged input control, but do not jump to conclusions that it is mono-unfriendly. Track away! There are separate threshold and output controls to make compensations with plus you can always adjust your individual source levels elsewhere, right? The advantage of the stereo input control becomes dramatically clear when you switch to LINK mode, and that's what our Variable Mu® Limiter Compressor does better than anything else: final mix, 2-track, or mastering limiting and compression. Like one reviewer put it: \"It's like pouring a bowl of sweet cream over the mix.\" Mmmmmm. Yummy.

Essentially it is two compressors in series, per channel, that can act in stereo, or dual mono. First comes our mastering grade electro optical compressor, followed by our discrete Class-A compressor\/limiter. Both feed our switchable custom output transformers, Nickel, Iron, and Steel. There is enough gain in each section to overdrive the hottest tape, or clip your converters, if you're into that sort of thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe input stage is transformer balanced, followed by our fully discrete optical compressor. This section utilizes the same T4B optical attenuator as the LA2A and LA3A, but is optimized for mastering. The second stage is our discrete Class-A VCA compressor. There are no electrolytic caps or IC chips in the audio path. There are six ratios: 1.2 to 1, 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1, 6 to 1, and 10 to 1. There is six attack settings: .1, .5, 1, 5, 10, and 30 milliseconds. And there are six release times selectable: .1, .25, .5,8, 1.2, and Auto. There is an insertable filter in the side chain to limit pumping with bass heavy material. Lastly the signal goes through our new Shadow Hills custom transformer-switching network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first position is Nickel, which is our custom version of a famous L. A. custom console. Next is Iron. In this mode the signal goes through our op-amp and into a Class-A output stage then to our custom Iron transformers, the last transformer position is Steel. These selections allow you to choose between different output transformers that are in effect: clean, colored, and dirty, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe optical section has a hard-wired bypass that completely removes it from the signal path, and the Class-A VCA compressor is also hardwire bypassable, completely removing it from the chain. It is possible to independently bypass both compression sections and have your signal go through the input transformer and transformer selector only. There is also a hardwire bypass for the entire compressor, effectively a strait wire in and out of the box. So besides being a mastering grade, and highly functional buss compressor, it serves as an excellent tracking compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor instance, you might call up the chain of the optical compressor, then to the Class-A output and Iron transformer, for vocals, or select just the Class-A VCA compressor with a 10:1 plus the Steel transformer for crushing some room mics, and on and on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metering can reflect, optical gain reduction, discrete gain reduction, or output level.

The 710 was created specifically to add the tonal versatility and sonic inspiration missing from generic audio interface preamps. Tone blending is continually variable between 100% tube and 100% solid-state, offering a practically infinite range of unique preamp tones, plus the ability to easily dial-in your own signature sound. There are lots of sensibly priced solid-state and tube preamplifiers out there, but the 710 is the only one that offers the best of both worlds — as well as everything in-between — all in one box, and within reach of any serious project studio’s budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key to its sonic flexibility lies in its innovative circuit design, featuring a solid-state transimpedance input amp simultaneously driving separate, phase-aligned tube and solid-state gain stages, which are then summed to a single output. The mix between the 310 volt single-ended class-A triode tube stage and solid-state transimpedance stage is controlled via the \"Blend Knob\" labeled \"∞\". Blending is continually variable between 100% tube and 100% solid-state offering a practically infinite range of unique pre-amp tones and the ability to easily dial-in your own signature sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all of Universal Audio's other preamp designs, the 710 features dual gain-stage controls (Gain\/Level) which can radically vary the amount of coloration and distortion by allowing you to crank up the input gain like a guitar amp. The VU meter features a unique \"Drive\" mode allowing you to see how hard you are driving the input stage. Plus, the discrete JFET DI input circuit can also easily handle any electric instrument. Guitar and bass players will especially appreciate the 710's ability to bring out the best of both active and passive pickups. The 710 Twin-Finity includes a 19\" rack-kit for mounting one or two units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin-Finity™ Tone-Blending Mic\/Line Preamp and Hi-Z Instrument DI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-Path 310 volt Class-A Tube and Transimpedance Solid State Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhase-Aligned \"Tone-Blending\" of Tube and Solid State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Gain Stages: Wire with Gain to Creamy to Crunchy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete JFET DI with 2.2M ohm Ultra Hi-Z impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonolithic Balanced Output Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70dB+ of gain, +48V Phantom, Pad(-15dB), Phase Invert, and Low Cut Filter(75Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput and \"Drive\" backlit VU metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortable, Rack-Mountable design for Studio, Desktop or Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19” Rack Kit Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Panel Hi-Z Input (switched from Mic\/Line automatically via Jack Detect)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Panel XLR Mic Input, XLR Line Input, and XLR Line Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal Internal Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-Duty Metal Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Universal Audio\u003cbr\u003eModel: 710TF\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I427728-N-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 819937001208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

The feature set has expanded to include an LED frequency display, six BNC outputs capable of up to 384kHz, AES and RCA S\/PDIF outputs capable of up to 192kHz, an optical S\/PDIF output capable of up to 96kHz, and removable rack ears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low jitter, harmonically-enhanced word clock signal generation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimmable frequency display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 selectable sample rates (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, 352.8kHz, and 384kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 BNC outputs with dedicated output drivers for maximum isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA S\/PDIF output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical S\/PDIF output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull \u0026amp; 1\/2 rack removable rack ears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking frequency selector knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJitter: 1.92pS RMS (BNC outputs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutputs: 6 BNC, 1 XLR AES, 1 RCA S\/PDIF, 1 Optical S\/PDIF (recommended max. cable length = 1,000ft of high quality, 75 ohm coaxial cable)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBNC: 75 ohms, 5V unterminated\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA S\/PDIF: 75 ohms, unbalanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES XLR: 110 ohms, balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eClock Frequencies:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBNC (kHz) - 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRCA S\/PDIF \u0026amp; AES (kHz) - 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical S\/PDIF (kHz) - 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower: 9VDC (6W power consumption)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower connector: 2.1mm barrel connector with 5.5mm outer diameter (center pin positive)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 2.2lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 6.5\"L x 6\"W x 1.75\"H (without rack ears installed)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping Dimensions: 13x13x5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping weight: 4lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Black Lion Audio\u003cbr\u003eModel: MICROCLOCKMK3\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I355608-N-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 700254867144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

The original Focusrite mic pre was designed to suit the microphones of the time; today's model makes one small change, adding three additional input impedances to the classic ISA 110 setting, allowing you to match any microphone, old or new, and access a wide range of sounds, from the character and warmth of a vintage mic to the clear transparency of a modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach one of the mic preamps has the option of mic, line or the front-panel instrument input, with variable input impedance to ensure you are getting the best performance from the source. Up to 60dB of gain is available on the four-position rotary and gain range switches, with a further +20dB of continuously variable trim, meaning a huge 80dB of gain is available should it be required. The high-pass filter features variable cut-off frequency between 16 and 420Hz. An array of 6-segment LED meters show peak signal level for the four mic pres, in addition to the four direct inputs to the optional A-D card. Switchable rear-panel insert points allow the use of inline processors such as compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic ISA mic preamp design featuring Lundahl LL1538 input transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument and line inputs with dedicated input connectors and front-panel switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable input impedance including classic ISA 110 setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable cut-off frequency high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated analogue insert points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer-channel six-segment LED peak-level meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrainworx bx_console - A Focusrite-exclusive plug-in that faithfully captures the sound, feel and styling of the original Focusrite ISA 110 Equaliser and ISA 130 Dynamics Modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional A-D card with up to 192kHz, 24-bit sampling via ADAT or AES3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMic Inputs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at minimum gain (0dB): -0.35dB at 20Hz and –3dB at 122kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at maximum gain (60dB): –2.5dB at 20Hz and –3dB 103kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain range: 0dB to +60dB in 10dB steps, plus 0dB to +20dB continuously variable trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum headroom: +7.4dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise EIN: -126dB (measured at 60dB of gain with 150Ω termination and 20Hz\/22kHz bandpass filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise at main output with unity gain: -98dBu (measured with a 20Hz\/22kHz bandpass filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSNR: 123dB (relative to max output 25dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCMRR: 88dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance, variable: 600Ω, 1400Ω, 2400Ω, 6800Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLine Inputs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response at unity gain (0dB): -0.3dB at 20Hz and –3dB at 94kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain range: -20dB to +10dB in 10dB steps, plus 0dB to +20dB continuously variable trim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Headroom: +25.4dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: 0.002% (measured with +4dBu input signal, 0dB gain setting, with a 20Hz\/22kHz bandpass filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise at main output with unity gain: -91dBu (measured with a 20Hz\/22kHz bandpass filter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSNR: 116dB (relative to max output 25dBu); SNR: 113dB (relative to 0dBFS +22dBu).

It features ultra-low jitter, third order crystal oscillators with a high current parallel drive circuit designed to maintain harmonic content of the signal regardless of loading conditions. In addition to this, proprietary noise reduction circuitry dramatically eliminates unwanted switching harmonics normally found in digital signals. The Micro Clock MKII is one of the best performing external word clocks in the pro audio market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Black Lion Audio introduced the Micro Clock MKII, they didn't anticipate the amount of demand and controversy that managed to accompany it. External clocking is certainly a hot button issue. Some folks maintain that there's no basis for it; that it's a sort of modern \"emperor's new clothes\". The reasoning behind this is that the device being clocked externally will simply filter the incoming clock signal through its phase locked loop, thereby eliminating any sort of benefit associated with the superior clock. In addition, the simple act of accepting the incoming signal and creating a new signal that's in phase will add some jitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest problem with this theory is that we know nothing about the PLL filter in question; it's completely hypothetical. Many PLL's in pro audio are designed to filter out unwanted signals that are outside of the desired bandwidth, although some are configured to filter out unwanted harmonics that lie within the signal's frequency band. It's incredibly rare to find one that does both at the same time. In the case of the Micro Clock MKII, it outputs a high bandwidth signal that is rare to find in internal clocks. Whether or not an external word clock can improve the sound quality of a receiving device is completely dependent on how the receiving device accepts an external word clock signal, and is dependant on the quality of the receiving device's internal clock. It's best to do an A\/B listening comparison to know whether the external clock is making a positive impact on the sound or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Micro Clock MKII is simple and probably even boring looking by most standards. It's housed in a rugged 3\" x 4\" chassis that provides optimum RF shielding. It has no lights, no frequency display, and none of the usual visual candy that your friends might envy.

In creating our own 500-Series Modules, we experimented with a number of different transformer and circuit designs to achieve the same presence and sweetness found in the Portico Series of modules. The result of these efforts is that outside of the slightly lowered headroom, our 500 series modules are nearly indistinguishable from standard Portico Series modules, and are perfectly suited for studios of the highest caliber.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINPUT SECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInput signals may be derived from Mic or Line sources (make sure 48V is off for line sources!). The input has a 10K Ω non-reactive input resistance that handles a full 22dBu signal without the need for a pad. The pre-amp is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability. A primary gain control provides 66dB of gain in 6dB increments for easy recall, with a +\/- 6dB trim for fine adjustment. For condenser microphones and powered DIs, there is +48V phantom power. A transient-optimized HPF continuously covering the range from 20-250Hz is included to tame rumble and proximity effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTEXTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the key developments in the 511 is the Red Silk \/ Texture control from the Portico II Channel. Building on the \"Silk\" mode found in the Portico Series mic pre-amplifiers, Texture is designed to adjust the actual amount of harmonic music content from the source material, in effect, providing wide range of tonal options for the preamplifier. Like the original Portico Silk, the Silk Red \/ Texture works by reducing negative feedback on the output transformer and adjusting the frequency response to more closely resemble Mr. Rupert Neve’s vintage designs. With the 511, the Texture control allows these techniques to be pushed further than previous designs, adding about 10 times the desirable THD of the original silk control at its maximum setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOW NOISE, LOW DISTORTION OPERATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch care was given in designing the 511 to produce as little noise and non-harmonic distortion as possible.

This exhibits near perfect frequency response while producing the warm Bessel curve Jensen is legendary for. The signal is then amplified via a select 12AX7 tube using an innovative non-radiating charge pump that supplies 140 volts to the tube to deliver the excitement and character of a high-voltage vintage tube amplifier. This feeds a class-A balanced output stage that together, can produce as much as 60dB of gain. This makes the PowerTube ideal for use with all microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures include an easy-access front panel XLR input with a safely recessed 48V phantom power switch. To optimize signal-to-noise the PowerTube is equipped with fully variable trim and gain controls. A 10 segment LED bar graph provides visual feedback and driving the PowerTube into the red is encouraged. This increases the grit, harmonic content and distortion. For even more character, activating the Air adds a slight edge to a male vocal or sparkle on an acoustic guitar. Low frequency resonance is easily tamed using the high-pass filter. For added pleasure, the PowerTube comes factory-loaded with a select 12AX7 tube along with a second Tonebone distortion pedal tube for more grit and madness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Radial PowerTube... the true character of a world class vintage tube preamp without the noise!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh voltage 12AX7 tube drive with 60dB of gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth sounding Jensen Transformer input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand inserted 100% discrete class-A electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle wide module fits all 500 series rack formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Radial Engineering\u003cbr\u003eModel: POWERTUBE\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I298367-N-0-WHXB\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 676101040476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

The Preamp offers two independent channels, each with an XMAX Class A solid-state preamp, followed in the signal path by a 12AX7 vacuum-tube stage. A Tube Drive control provides a wide range of sounds: When clicked off, you're using the solid-state preamp for quiet, transparent amplification; when engaged, your signals flow through the tube preamp, and you can achieve anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion. Equipped with instrument and mic inputs and built tough for serious gigging, the BlueTube DP V2 is a great choice for guitarists, bassists, singer\/songwriters, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BlueTube DP V2 offers far and away the widest variety of tone-shaping capabilities of any preamp in its class. Housed in a rugged, half-rackspace case that is built to travel, its rear panel sports two combo mic\/instrument inputs and unbalanced ¼” and balanced XLR line outputs. With two dual-path channels and this complement of I\/O, you can use it as a preamp and as a direct box (DI) for guitars and basses. Singer-songwriters can run their vocal through one channel and their guitar through the other, feeding both to the P.A.-no guitar amp needed. And we didn't forget the extras: an 80 Hz highpass filter, phantom power, a -20 dB pad to control hot input signals, polarity reverse, and a backlit VU meter.

At one end is a super-clean compressor that delivers amazing results with single knob control. At the other, an old-school diode bridge clipping limiter goes from 'vintage to nasty'.

As you increase the ratio, the Komit FlexKnee™ compression dynamically adjusts the pivot point, seamlessly transitioning from soft to hard knee for more natural results. Yet unlike most limiters that are designed to be transparent, the Komit Clipper™ is designed to introduce personality to your recordings. The Clipper simulates the sound created by old-school diode bridge circuits from the early days of radio. These clip the input signal when they exceed the headroom.

Think of Nine Inch Nails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo ensure absolute signal integrity, full size discrete electronics are employed throughout while the vintage style Hammond broadcast transformers add extra warmth to the signal path.

Dual ballistic VU metering makes it easy to simultaneously view compression and output when making adjustments. Designed for use with all 500 series racks, the Komit can be linked for full stereo operation.
