An analog transformer-coupled microphone preamplifier featuring a transformer input path for warmth. It offers switchable phantom power, high overload margins, and a switchable soft-knee limiter (approximately 12:1). The preamp delivers up to 77 dB of gain, a maximum output level of +22 dBu, and a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response. A 75 Hz high-pass filter is included to reduce low-end rumble.
