Gain

Microphone Preamplifier

GAIN is a microphone preamplifier of great design and superb sound. It has 2 channels and on each of them you can control the gain (up to 60 dB) and attenuation (0 – 63 dB), each level can be read on top of each knob on a 2 digits 7 segments display. In addition, 4 buttons per channel provide: 20dB attenuation, Phantom Power 48V, Phase Reverse and selection of either Microphone or Instrument. It has a custom transformer and a custom op-amp on each channel plus a general toroidal transformer for power supply. The design is spectacular giving you an immediate feeling with the machine and its 2 channels.

As our summing amplifiers, GAIN is provided with a digital plug-in (VST, AAX) that will allow you to load the machine in your DAW and Store and Recall Settings. In addition, GAIN is equipped with a flash memory card so you will be able to store up to 8 memories on the machine itself.
