GREAT RIVER ELECTRONICS  MP-500NV

The MP-500NV is a professional quality microphone preamplifier designed to re-create the vintage sound characteristics of the early 1970s large consoles. Modern components give the MP-500NV more clarity, punch and performance under normal use. In addition, features like metering before and after the major gain stages let the user drive it 'hard' to greatly expand the range of sonic options. All microphones will benefit from the power of the MP-500NV preamplifier, including dynamic, condenser and especially ribbon types. The MP-500NV uses the same audio and metering circuit board found in the NV series preamplifiers. This unit is designed to fit into a '500' series rack using 2 available slots. It receives its power supply from the host rack. The unit is equipped with a HI-Z instrument jack that has its own input amplifier and was designed for 'DI' applications. All specifications and performance details are identical to the NV series preamplifiers with the exception of size, weight, patch jack, -10dBv Out.

JOEMEEK threeQ

The Joemeek threeQ is the perfect link between your music and your computer. It will bring out the best qualities or your music by giving it the "gloss" of a professional recording studio, at a fraction of the cost!
Built into a compact ½ rack chassis, we used the same Burr-Brown IC's for the Mic Pre that you'll find on our more expensive studio channels. We then added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical Compressor, for that signature "Meek" sound.

With inputs to accept everything between microphone and instrument levels, the threeQ sounds much larger than it's size!

JOEMEEK sixQ

The Joemeek sixQ packs a wealth of features into a single rack space studio channel.
A single channel mic pre, based on our high quality Burr-Brown IC, three bands of highly musical EQ, and (of course) our signature optical compressor make for a highly capable recording instrument. Speaking of instruments, there's even an instrument level input on the front panel!
Output either analog or digitally directly to your sound card or DAW for a warm, musical analog sound - just what you've been looking for!

JOEMEEK oneQ

The Joemeek oneQ is the most full-featured, technologically advanced studio channel we've ever made!
A single channel combining Mic Pre (with Burr-Brown IC), four band EQ (the most flexible of any Joemeek ever), our "signature" optical compressor, De-Esser, and Enhancer, it's a master channel like no other.
Housed in a 2u chassis, the elegantly sculpted faceplate is intelligently laid out, with clear, easy to read legends and a large analog VU meter.
We even included 24bit, 96K A/D converters with word clock input and output.
The new oneQ raises the bar for all studio master channels!

JOEMEEK twinQ

The Joemeek twinQ is everything you ever wanted in a dual studio channel - and then some!
We started with high quality Burr-Brown IC's for the preamp, added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical compressor for that signature "Meek" sound. Then we included some new and innovative features, like an "Iron" switch that switches the IC front end to a transformer - completely changing the topology of the circuit. It even has 24bit, 96k A/D converters built in.

All of this comes housed in a rugged 2u chassis with a beautifully sculpted aluminum faceplate.
With sonic quality rivaling mic pre's priced thousands of dollars more, the twinQ sets a new standard for dual channels!

SLATE PRO AUDIO Fox

Slate Pro Audio, manufacturer of the DRAGON dynamic processor, has added  a second analog hardware piece to their roster.  Taking precedence from the DRAGON, the FOX offers more options to the modern day audio engineer than typically found in a common mic pre.

Each channel of the FOX has two unique mic pre circuits.  The first, called vintage, pays homage to the classic British 73 style preamp.  Its rich and fat tone sounds great on numerous sources.  The second preamp is called modern, and its signal path is extremely clean and accurate.  The modern pre is perfect for the demanding engineer who wants the most detailed reproduction of the source material.  The Slate Pro Audio team then added a very unique feature called “combo”.  Combo takes the input from one pre and combines it with the output from the other pre.  This makes it possible to have a Vintage In/Modern Out and a Modern In/Vintage Out.  In total, 4 different sonic textures can be had with the flick of a switch, and each pre can be engaged while monitoring a source, live.  In addition, each preamp also has a ¼ in. instrument input.

SPL Preference Preamplifiers AES

 

Our goal when developing the Preference Preamps was to match professional sound quality to the highest reliability possible. For the best price-performance ratio the design benefits very much from the decades of our experience in designing and manufacturing microphone and instrument preamps.

The results can be heard in all sorts of situations — regardless of whether it is live or in the studio, the SPL Preference Preamps provide a rock-solid foundation for any production. And they are also perfectly suited to replace the integrated preamps of audio interfaces and mixers.

TK AUDIO DP-1

The DP-1 preamp is a hybrid between vintage and modern circuits. Germanium stage, silicon transistors and integrated circuits, all in the same box. DP-1’s various sound-characters extends over several decades, the germanium sound from the mid 60’s, British class-A from the early 70’s and a more modern tone from the 80’s and 90’s.

TK AUDIO The Strip

The Strip (ST1) is a complete and easy to use channel strip with a mic preamp, compressor and EQ - a perfect tool for the recording engineer, songwriter or producer on the go that needs a great sounding recording channel.

 The preamp is a transformerless design with up to 75 dB of ultra-clean amplification; enough to power low output ribbon and dynamic microphones. The high-impedance instrument input on the front is perfect for instruments like synthesizers; acoustic, electric and bass guitar.

The switchable high-pass filter removes unwanted low-frequency energy below 80 Hz.

The VCA type of compressor uses RMS detection without timing controls which makes it easy to use for a lot of different instruments like vocals, bass, acoustic guitar and more. The depth and character of the compression is set with the Threshold and Ratio parameters. Parallel compression can be done by adjusting the blend of dry and compressed signal. There is a 10 LED meter showing the gain-reduction with a dot or the preamp headroom with a bar.

The EQ is a classic Baxandall design with two smooth-sounding shelving filters; the 100 Hz low-shelf filter is ideal for removing excessive bass energy or adding weight to the low-end; and the 12 kHz high-shelving filter perfect for adding some air. Both filters outperform their digital equivalents (plug-ins) by sounding smoother and more analogue.

Finally ST1 has two different output stages, an electronically balanced output stage or a discrete transformer-balanced class-A stage, built around a heavy Carnhill output transformer. The vintage class-A mode produces a fat and punchy sound with mid range character and a warm top-end. The IC-based output stage is less colored and ideal for clean amplification.
