Used / Vintage Mic Pres

A vintage audio preamp can be the perfect partner for your vintage mic, or you
can use it to impart just the right amount of warmth to your most contemporary
microphone. A mic pre has the unique ability to transform and extend the sonic
possibilities of your mic collection. Beyond the Sonic Circus selection of true
vintage preamps, you will also find some excellent re-issues of classic electronics
from Neve, as well as a beautifully maintained collection of previously owned
microphone preamps and studio electronics.

Neve 1084

Back in the day, the 1084 preamp/EQ module was introduced to improve upon the now-legendary 1073. The same Class A design was there, but a few more frequencies were added. And the addition of 'Q' control, making some of the bands semi-parametric, gave the user the ability to dial in subtle amounts of 'air' or notch out offending frequencies. These originals started to go for crazy money -- when you could find them. Now Neve has decided to do us all a huge service and re-manufacture 1084's to exact specifications. This was not easy; many components were out of production and had to be fabricated from scratch. But the results are stunning. Now you can have the real deal, brand new. The vintage sound without the vintage headache.

Thermionic Culture Nightingale Used

Dual Channel Pre-Amp & Single Channel Compressor This is the second of Thermionic Culture half rack 4U units. These are of course all valve. Continuing with the 3-part principle (3 being the most powerful number in the universe) it consists of 3 parts: 2 x Mic amps with useful valve eq. Both have their own outputs (XLR unbalanced), which can give 20+dBu. These can be combined or taken individually into...1 x vari-mu compressor-based on The Phoenix but with a little more "attitude". The compressor section has its own input ("balanced" XLR) which can be selected instead of a feed from the mic amps, also an XLR "balanced" output capable of +25 dBu.
