Features Superlative sound Studio quality mic preamp Total control - Input Gain, EQ contour, Output Gain, Overload indicator Multiple output connectors XLR/jack combo input Switchable 48 V DC Phantom Power for condenser Mics Compact, computer friendly package Needs no external power supply ARX is proud to introduce the e-pre - the ultimate microphone pre-amp for hard disk recording, designed by audio professionals, not computer engineers. The all-new e-pre is so much a part of your system that it fits right into a spare 5?" slot in your computer case! It's the perfect tool for all your day-to-day recording requirements. No equipment racks to plug in, no masses of cabling to connect - the e-pre is ready and waiting when you need it. The e-pre is a studio quality microphone pre-amp using the same internal components as high end mixing consoles, built into a compact, computer friendly package. It has controls for: Input Gain - fully variable from 10dB through to 60dB to suit all types of microphones, plus switchable 48 V Phantom Power to enable condenser microphones to deliver their best. A Contour control for EQ sweetening, providing fast, easy access to a whole range of useful EQ curves Output level control - fully variable to match the e-pre's output to the input of the sound card. From -10dB consumer cards through to +4dB for professional sound cards, the e-pre can handle it. Multiple output connectors match up with any kind of sound card, including mini jacks, standard jack, RCA (phono) plugs, and even a connector to link to the internal CD ROM audio input of your sound card (if fitted). We've even fitted a 12 VDC input connector on the rear to enable the e-pre to run from an external power supply if required (eg for use with notebook computers or stand-alone use).
Any way you look at it, the e-pre by ARX is the total professional microphone pre-amp for all your hard disk recording needs
e-pre Benefits Professional Balanced XLR mic input True 48v phantom power Runs into the Line input of ANY sound card - uses the card you've already paid for High headroom = clean recordings Smart EQ Compatible with non-computer audio equipment Professional performance and specs in a user friendly package

EWI PDI-100 PARA ACOUSTIC DI Box
This is a medium grade professional application Para Acoustic Active DI, which will work well on instruments with passive pickups or active pickups.
The construction is reasonably rugged and the components are well suited for the application yielding results that are typically acceptable for all but the most discerning artists.
The on-board tone and volume controls give the operator a lot of choices in shaping their sound prior to sending the signal to the mix console. This allows an artist to use this device in-place of or in addition to a traditional stage amp for their instrument. This is an excellent choice for IEM bands, or bands that like to keep their stage volume low.
This item is typically used to split the instrument signal going to a stage amp so a feed can be sent also to the mix board, or be used as a stand-alone instrument pre-amp. It is equipped with a ¼” jack for input, a 1/4" jack for output to a stage amp, one XLR jack for the send to the board and a TRS jack for inserting an FX device.Since this is an active D.I. box, it needs to be powered which can be done either with Phantom Power from the mix board, or with the supplied internal 9v battery. The battery is fairly easy to change by removing one screw in the bottom of the case.

PreSonusʼ popular Class A XMAX preamps are widely lauded for their clarity and transparency. Our tube preamps are beloved for their warm, smooth sound. With the Blue Tube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamp, you get both types of high-quality sound in one unit.
Now weʼve improved on the classic unit with the BlueTube DP V2. The solid-state path now feeds PreSonusʼ top-of-the-line Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB of variable gain—an upgrade from the original BlueTube DPʼs solid-state stage.
You still get all the secondary features you expect in a professional-grade preamp: 48V phantom power, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, -20 dB pad to control hot input signals, and a polarity-reverse switch. Each channel has an illuminated VU meter so you can visually monitor your input levels.
A Tube Drive control provides a wide range of sounds: when itʼs clicked off, youʼre using the solid-state preamp for quiet, transparent amplification; when itʼs engaged, your signals flow through the tube preamp, and you can achieve anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion.
2 input channels, each with:
High-headroom Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB gain range
12AX7 vacuum tube gain stage
Tube Drive tube-saturation control
48V phantom power
80 Hz high-pass filter
-20 dB pad to reduce hot input levels
