PLATINUM TWIN TRACK 

Designed principally as an affordable, high-specification dual mono/stereo tracking device,
TT Pro (as it’s affectionately known) also boasts comprehensive latency-free monitoring,
unmatched digital connectivity, and all within a sturdy 2U 19″ rack-mount chassis.
Each channel features Focusrite’s award-winning Platinum pre amp, embellished with the
option of instant ‘air’ and variable input impedance for improved microphone performance
and extended creativity. A mid-scoop EQ follows, and provides variable frequency and
depth of cut for vocal problem solving and miked-up cabinet ambience
In pride of place is TT Pro’s powerful dual mono/stereo optical compressor. This optical
compressor features Focusrite’s custom fast-acting optos, alongside side-chain inputs
and the ability to operate as a true ‘twinned’ stereo pair. These circuit design innovations
are complemented by a comprehensive set of focussed controls.
TT Pro is the first Platinum to feature a D/A converter as standard, alongside its optional
analogue to digital converter. The D/A converter enables the user to feed mono or stereo
digital signals into TT Pro. These signals can be fed either into the stereo latency-free
monitoring section, or via line inputs (post- the pre amp stage) for further processing.
The signal can then return to the digital audio workstation via Focusrite’s established
stereo A/D converter option.
Together, these facilities make TT Pro the perfect analogue interface for any digital audio
workstation, and equally the world’s first ‘hardware plug-in’.

Features include:

    * 2 award-winning Class A discrete transistor-based pre amps
    * Dual mono/stereo optical compressor, featuring custom fast-acting optos
    * Latency free monitoring with total control over balance, effects, mix and monitor levels
    * 24 bit/192 kHz D/A fitted as standard, for processing digital signals or feeding digital signals
       into the monitoring path
    * An optional 24 bit/96kHz A/D. Both the A/D and the D/A feature wordclock (BNC)
    * Inductor-induced “Air” opens up high frequencies like an expensive transformer-balanced pre amp
    * Variable impedance for improved microphone performance and extended creativity
    * Mid scoop EQ for correcting problematic mid frequencies
    * Direct inputs on the front fascia for both instruments (Jack) and microphones (XLR)
    * Post pre amp inserts and compressor side-chain inserts, for enhanced processing flexibility
    * 2 ocean blue peak-reading meters, innately beautiful and ideal for catching fast transients

The AD2022 is Avalon's fourth generation of fully discrete, symmetrical Pure
Class A microphone preamplifiers. The dual mono AD2022 includes the original
sonic capabilities and transparency of the M2, M22 and M5 preamplifiers plus
several additional features, including selectable microphone source loading for
optimized cable/mic matching, improved high-voltage Class A regulated power
supplies, two high Z instrument inputs, variable-passive high pass filter, teflon/
silver wiring and doubled plated circuit boards for superior low level signal transfer.

MICROPHONE INPUT
The AD2022 incorporates the most advanced high-performance microphone
transformer available. Split low-ratio primary windings are carefully combined
within a custom mu-metal core for extended smooth frequency response and
very low distortion.  Sealer silver relays are used for minimal signal invasion. 
The input signal selector, high pass filter, polarity-phase reverse, +48v power
and the 20dB input attenuator all utilize local sealed relay operation. A variable
passive high pass filter provides a minimum phase shift design while eliminating
low frequency rumble, wind noise and mechanical vibration at sub sonic frequencies.

SYMMETRICAL PURE CLASS A DESIGN
Two 100% discrete, high-voltage, symmetrical Pure Class A signal amplifiers
are utilized per channel. The first operates in a cascaded-cascode FET
configuration while the second stage amplifier is fully bipolar. The twin amplifiers
share the total available gain requirement. This shared architecture increases
the high level headroom capability, improves transient response and doubles the
internal bandwidth of the ultra-high performance pure Class A signal amplifiers.
OUTPUT and METERING
High-current DC coupled, Class A discrete amplifiers are utilized for the output
drive interface with +36dB capability into all known loads.  Two large, high-quality
analog VU meters indicate accurate signal readings while bi-color LED's offers
peak indication at 0dB and +20dB.

Having had great success with the PRE-73 preamp, we have received many requests for a version for the 500 eries rack format. We are therefore happy to present the PRE-573, expected to start shipping in late September.
 
The PRE-573 is a one width module that has the sound and the features that made the PRE-73 so successful and a few additional ones.
The circuit still uses the preamp and output section from the classic 1073-module, adapted to work in the api rack format. It has a total  gain range from -15 to +80 dB. The 10 - 70 dB range is handled by a turn switch  and there is a separate toggle switch to select an additional 5 or 10 dB gain. The input can be configured to accept line level signals by another switch, the gain is then lowered by about 25 dB and the input impedance increased to about 15 kohm.
 
The input impedance of the mic input mode can be switched between 1200 and 300 ohm. Phantom power and phase reverse is also selectable by front panel switches.
 
An added feature, using the same circuit as in the PRE-73 DLX, is the active DI-input with a high input impedance of about 1,5 Mohm. The output signal from the active DI circuit passes through the input transformer for some extra character.
The DI-input is very flexible since it can be changed to a purely passive one by a front panel switch. The DI input is then exactly the same as in the PRE-73 Mk2 where the signal is feed directly into the second gain stage, bypassing the transformer and with an input impedance of about 100 kohm.

These two DI-options makes it possible to get different tones from electric instruments and the passive DI input mode is more suited for injecting active units like sound modules. 
 
A new feature is the switchable AIR mode that  adds a small boost above 10 kHz that peaks at 2 dB at about 35 kHz.


A simple but effective signal and overload indicator is offered by a single LED that starts glowing red at about +4 dBu and then increases its intensity up to the maximum output level.
 
The PRE-573 has a dedicated insert connector at the back allowing it to interface with other GAP 500 modules. The insert can be activated by removing a jumper connector at the back of the module.
The second Golden Age Project module for the api 500 rack will be the EQ-573, expected to ship in November 2012. The EQ-573 consists of the inductor based high pass filter section  and the 3-band eq section from the classic 1073 module with some added frequencies. These two modules together will offer a fully fledged 1073-module in a compact format at a very low cost.
 
There is a second jumper at the back of the module that selects 600 ohm termination on the output. The standard mode is termination on, since it gives the flattest response when the PRE-573 is used with modern line inputs that typically has an input impedance of 10 kohm or more. The user can chose to remove the jumper and deactivate the termination resistor, this will increase the level above 10 kHz and create a peak in the response for an even more pronounced  "Air" effect.
The output is transformer balanced and fully floating and can drive a 600 ohm load up to level of about 28 dBu.

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.
