Product Description
This Solid State 521 Zero Distortion Preamplifier is the next ideal addition to your recording rig.
Premium Architecture
Polarity invert; switchable phantom power; peak amplitude clip detection; these are just a few of the excellent features provided by the 521. A transformerless output stage allows for long cable runs - all without any detriment to your quality. Transparent gain is even highly switchable, from 5dB to 60dB. This is done in 5dB increments.
Add to this efficient overload margin, common mode rejection and an ultra-low noise floor, as well as a broad bandwidth and distortion lower than one part per million, and you've got yourself an extremely innovative piece of engineering. Performance is maintained no matter the impedance; the 521 is great for dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones as a result.
