Product Description
The 32Cpre+ delivers the legendary sound of the Harrison 3232, combining a high performance, transformer coupled microphone preamp with Harrison's renowned LP/HP filters, now available in the versatile 500 Series format. Inspired by the iconic 32Classic studio console, this mic preamp brings the tonal quality that has graced some of the most iconic albums from the 70s and 80s into a compact, modular form. With its full low end, open midrange, and smooth, natural highs, the 32Cpre+ embodies the warmth and richness that made Harrison an industry standard. The inclusion of +20 to +70 dB of smooth gain, combined with a wide range of features like the HiZ impedance switch and a front panel combo XLR/1/4" jack connector, makes it a versatile tool for both tracking and mixing. The unique, musical filters, with their gentle slope and resonant peaks, ensure that you get a mic pre that sounds sweet on any source material, from vocals to instruments. Recreating the iconic Harrison tone, the 32Cpre+ is an essential piece of gear for any studio looking to add depth, clarity, and character to their recordings.
