ASP880 is an audio powerhouse designed with expandability in mind, making it the perfect addition to your audio interface. Upgrade your current setup with 8 channels of Audient’s Console mic preamps, 8 line inputs/outputs, 8 insert points, class leading converters and two JFET D.I’s – all in a compact 1RU package.

Daking Audio’s single channel Class ‘A’ discrete microphone preamp in a convenient 500 series format!

With its modular 500 Series design, the dbx 580 delivers up to 60dB of gain, features a variable-frequency Low-Cut Filter and unique Low and High Detail Equalization Controls, a 20dB Pad, Polarity Invert, +48V Phantom Power, a Front Panel Instrument Input, VU Metering and Peak Indicator.

The Fredenstein Artistic Pre features include a maximum gain of 65 dB, a 20 dB Pad, switchable polarity, selectable input impedance, and Phantom-Power support. Our new eight LED Peak-Meter with a 50 dB range gives the user a precise reading of the operating conditions. As all Fredenstein products, the Artistic Pre is designed by a German-American team

The MP-2NV achieves “new classic” performance status with two discrete Class-A gain stages (the dual gain-stage meters are a Great River exclusive), a front-panel DI input jack which is routed via a FET and BJT buffer through the input transformer (also unique to Great River preamps) for must-hear-to-believe sound from all hi-Z instruments, and a discrete high-current Class-A “big iron” transformer-coupled output amplifier. The MP-2NV is a fundamentally important audio tool that brings out the best in every microphone and instrument.

The Six X Five Hundred is a one channel transformer coupled Microphone Preamplifier and Passive 2 Band Pultec Equalizer. It’s an all discrete design based upon the great 990 amplifier. The Equalizer is our take on the magical classic Pultec design. It’s got 12db boost of the creamiest high end you’ve ever heard and the most punchy low end heard the 21st Century. The Sound can be described as ”Fast” ”Punchy” and ”In ya face”. The 6X-500 fits in all 500 series compatible power supplies.

The Neve 511 Mic Pre transformer based, Class-A preamp can have up to 66 dB of dynamic range, each click of the preamp is in 6 dB increments for easy recall. The 511 is a TLA non-reactive design that precludes the loading of microphones with limited driving capability, this gives the 511 its signature Neve sound quality with very musical harmonic distortion. With the 511, the Texture control allows the preamp to be pushed even further, adding about 10 times the desirable THD of the original signal. A trim pot is included on the front panel for the perfect input to the preamp.

The Midas 502 features a huge gain range from -20dB to +80dB and the input stage handles up to +24dBu with no pad. With hotter signals it imparts a characteristic soft clipping that imparts a slight harmonic character to the input signal without clipping or distorting. The TX switch selects between electronic and transformer outputs. This imparts a vintage sound that will cause the lower frequency to become saturated when driven with hot signals. Both the input gain and output trim feature 11-segment LED display for indicating signal activity.

Old School Audio’s MP1-A is a simple 500 series microphone preamplifier. It’s easy to use and won’t throw any curveballs at you. It has a 1/4″ instrument input in the front of it, but it doesn’t have any main connections or power of it’s own, as it will get them from the 500 series casing you put it in. It can only be used in a 500 series rack, as it isn’t rack mountable in a traditional sense.

The PowerPre is a high performance microphone preamplifier designed for use with any 500 series modular rack, featuring 100% discrete components for optimal signal transfer and a Hammond output transformer for a smooth and warm tone.

The Solid State Logic VHD+ Pre is an incredibly versatile 500 Series mic preamp that delivers ultra-clean SSL SuperAnalogue sound — with a twist. Its all-analog signal path is outfitted with SSL’s Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD) system. As you increase VHD input gain, the VHD circuitry introduces either 2nd or 3rd-order harmonic distortion (or a blend of the two). At lower gain settings, it adds gentle tube-like warmth or a touch of transistor-style edge. As you increase gain, the more extreme the distortion becomes, all the way to trashed-transistor grunge. From pristine clean to full-tilt overdrive, this gives you immense flexibility to forge signature sounds that make your recordings really stand out.

The Warm Audio WA12-500 mic preamp brings classic discrete console tones to your 500 Series rack at an amazing price. With custom Cinemag transformers, high-voltage discrete op amp, and a handy impedance/tone switch, the WA12-500 has more than enough gain for your lowest output dynamics and ribbons and all the headroom you’d ever want for the hottest modern condensers.
