Presonus TubePre V2 Microphone Preamp

Compact, rack-mountable tube preamplifier for microphone with a dual-servo (no capacitors) gain stage that allows user to boost the program signal to smoking hot levels without significantly increasing the background noise. This 12AX7 vacuum-tube-based preamp includes a Gain control and a Tube Drive tube-saturation control that allows user to decide how much signal to put through the tube. It provides a 48V phantom power, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, a -20 dB pad, and a polarity-reverse switch. And of course, the unit delivers the highly prized tube warmth and sports an analogue, backlit VU meter. Thanks to separate instrument and mic inputs, it also serves as a dynamite direct box (DI) for guitars and basses. And it is small enough to carry almost anywhere, but it can also be rack-mounted using our optional 3UMR rack adapter. Dimensions: 140 x 140 x 44 mm, 1/3U rack-mount chassis. Weight: 2.3 kg.
