This superbly crafted new breed of advanced tube microphone preamp reaches far beyond mere technical excellence to deliver sound that is uniquely involving, compelling, and real. Our incredible new 2 channel Model 1100 gives you up to 20 dB more headroom than conventional preamps, allowing you to record hotter tracks with the highest possible digital resolution. This unprecedented amount of headroom, combined with an EIN of -135 dBu, allows you to take more gain without the pain of overload distortion or noise.
To achieve this amazing performance, we developed new proprietary circuitry:
Discrete Class A Bipolar PNP Solid State Front End
Second Stage Reflected Plate Amplifier™ Tube Circuit
Sweepable Low Frequency Cancellation Filter (LoCaf™)
MicLim™ Limiter on the microphone input itself makes the 1100 virtually crashproof
Drift Stabilized™ A/D Circuitry eliminates the need for high pass filtering in the digital domain
Third stage Reflected Plate Amplifier Tube Circuit Discrete Class A Impedance Balanced Output Stage
Compare this to any other mic preamp — you'll understand the benefits of 'More Gain with No Pain'.
