ASP800 is an audio powerhouse designed to transform your sessions into world class recordings, making it the perfect addition to your audio interface. ASP800 provides 8 channels of Audientʼs renowned console mic preamps, class-leading Burr-Brown converter technology, two JFET D.Iʼs and two Retro channels with revolutionary tone control.

The PRE-73 Mk2 is the first one-channel low-cost preamp on the market that is using a fully discrete signal path with three separate transformers for the balanced mic input, the line input and the output.

The circuit is very similar to the classical preamp section of the Neve 1073 pre/eq module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical.
This classical sound has been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres.

The PRE-73 Mk2 has a maximum gain of 80 dB on the mic input and the gain range on the Line input is -20 to + 10 dB. There is also a high-impedance instrument input.

The PRE-73 Mk2 is perfect for almost any signal source, no matter if it's a microphone with a high or low sensitivity (like a passive ribbon mic), a syntheziser or sound module or an electric guitar or bass.

The input impedance of the microphone input can be switched between 300 and 1200 ohms, which makes it possible to affect the tone of most microphones. There is also phase switch and an simple 4-step LED signal level meter.

The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.

The Mk2 update consists of:
- An unbalanced insert jack (nominal level about 18 dBu) added on the back panel for inserting units like the coming GAP EQ-73, a three band eq.
-  LED meter levels adjusted.
- 600 Ohm termination resistor and jumper added to power supply board (accessible from the inside of the unit).
- Revised Gain switch, turning the know clockwise now increase the gain.
- Reduced noise at high gains by a change to the power supply grounding scheme.

At PreSonus, weʼve been designing preamps for a long time, and we always focus on audio quality first. So when we decided to upgrade our popular TubePre V2, we focused on improving an already high-quality sound—without jacking up the price. Like the originalTubePre, the new version is a fully professional tube preamp, with a dual-servo (no capacitors) gain stage that lets you boost the program signal to smoking hot levels without significantly increasing the background noise. Discrete components and high-voltage operation offer dynamic range and detail not found in other single-channel tube preamps in its class.

Housed in a rugged case, the TubePre V2 rear panel sports separate unbalanced, ¼” instrument and balanced, XLR mic inputs and unbalanced ¼” and balanced XLR line outputs. Weʼve included all of the extras you need for professional operation including a high-pass filter, phantom power for condenser mics, polarity reverse switch, and a backlit VU meter.

Designed for high-definition field production environments, the studio-quality MP-1 is an ideal line-driver for critical radio, television, and film applications.

The MP-1 is extremely durable and easy to use. With rugged mechanical and electrical construction and high-quality components it will provide years of superb audio performance under the most punishing field conditions.

MP-1 Key Features
  • Superb audio specifications
  • 66 dB of gain, in eleven discrete steps
  • Transformer-balanced input and output
  • Phantom power - 48 volt or 12 volt
  • High pass filter @  80 Hz or 160 Hz, 6 dB/octave
  • Limiter makes unit virtually "unclippable“
  • High current line output drive
  • Excellent immunity to RF interference.
  • Battery power (two x AA)
  • Durable mechanical construction

 

The PRE-73 MKIII is a one-channel vintage style microphone-, line- and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The in- and output is transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.

The circuit used in the PRE-73 MKIII is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres.
The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone.

Features  :

  • Vintage Style electronics. No intergrated circuits in the signal path.

  • Maximum gain in MIC mode is 80 dB, enough to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources.

  • GAIN switch range 20 - 80 dB. GAIN/LINE mode switch, gain is reduced by 30 dB in LINE mode.

  • Selectable two position high frequency AIR boost eq, 3 or 6 dB @ 30 kHz.

  • Selectable 6 dB/octave two frequency high pass filter at around 40 (HP1) and 170 Hz (HP2).

  • Tantalum capacitors in the signal path.

  • Switchable impedance in MIC mode, 1200 or 300 Ohms, will change the tone of most mics. The input impedance in LINE mode is 10 kohm.

  • Switchable phantom power and absolute phase.

  • A high-impedance instrument input for any sound module, electric guitar or bass.

  • A simple but effective 4-step LED output level meter.

  • The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage(s) for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.

  • Combo XLR/TRS input jack and separate output XLR and TRS jacks for flexible connections.

  • Insert jack for inserting EQ´s and other units.

  • Selectable 600 ohm output termination.

  • The pcb is prepared for the Carnhill input transformer.

  • External power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits and transformers.

  • A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.

 

The MKIII has the following new features compared to the MKII:

  • Tantalum capacitors in the signal path.

  • Selectable two position high frequency AIR boost eq, 3 or 6 dB @ 30 kHz.

  • Selectable two frequency high pass filter, 6 dB/octave at 40 or 170Hz.

  • The pcb is prepared for the Carnhill input transformer.

  • Revised and less complicated GAIN switch with a separate switch for MIC/LINE selection.

  • All GAIN settings can also be used in LINE mode .

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.
