Monoprice Microphone Preamp (600083)

The Stage Right Studio 2‑Channel 1073‑Style Microphone Preamp is a vintage‑style microphone, line, and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components, such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors. The input and output is transformer‑balanced, using two different transformers, each optimized for its purpose. The circuit used is similar to the preamp section in the classic 1073 module, with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet, and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings throughout the years. It is a versatile sound that works well on most sound sources and in most musical genres.

• Dual Channels: This is a two channel vintage style microphone, line and instrument preamplifier that features 2 channels that are completely independent from each other; from the signal coming in to the signal going out.
• Discrete Signal Path: The preamp features a signal path that uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors, and transistors. The way classic audio components were built before integrated circuits became available.
• Dual Transformers: The inputs and outputs are balanced by using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose.
• Classic 1073 Characteristics: The circuit used in this 1073 style preamp is similar to the preamp section in the classic 1073 modules with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet, and musical.
• Up to 80dB gain capable of handling passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources.
