Stereo tube microphone preamplifier

<b>A Designs Audio PACIFICA</b><br>What we're going do is go back... WAY back...back into time... to the early 1970s, when the recording industry was starting to bloom with the new technology of solid state. (Dig?) Hit products were pumped out as fast as hit records—one after another. There was a creative industry within the audio world. It was, without question, a golden age. Some companies that emerged during that period were Neve, API, and Quad Eight. Although it’s been decades, the benchmarks they set are still held as industry standards today. Little is known about Quad Eight, though many feel that they were the best in their field. While debating is usually best left to the history books, A-Designs took up the challenge to take a closer look into the past and decide on its own. With much research, interviews, and listening, we came up with a product that we feel needs to see the light of day again. With Quad Eight Ventura, Coronado and Pacifica console preamplifiers for reference, we closely examined the design and composition of the heart and soul in the consoles of these great pieces. After much design, A/Bing, and beta testing, the result is a solid state, single space, rack mounted, microphone pre amplifier from the “glory days.” Cloning being what it is (same old same old), we decided to head outside the box and make the tribute something other than the legacy. We added our own touch to bring it to present day applications of the recording world. And so the new A-Designs PACIFICA was born.

AEA TRP Ribbon Mic Pre
Two-channel mic pre with high gain and impedance, specially suited for ribbon mics

The <b>API A<sup>2</sup>D</b> represents a landmark achievement for API; it is the first product ever produced by the company with an integrated digital output. Recognizing the desire for a high quality solution to raise microphone signals to a workable line level, we engineered one of our most popular mic preamp designs into an enclosure with our new proprietary analog to digital conversion. The result is a complete package - a pair of superb mic preamps feeding an A/D section with a set of standard digital interface outputs, multiple sample-rate choices, and internal or external clock options. Precise control of both the analog gain as well as the level feeding the digital section means that the mic signal can be maintained super-clean if desired, or driven harder on the analog side for that whallop and impact that can only be achieved by driving the transformer into saturation for that historic API sound! 
<p>The A<sup>2</sup>D analog section consists of the circuitry contained in two API 312 mic preamps, or one half of the popular 3124 quad mic preamp rack product. A level control pot with an expanded 20-segment metering system shows precise mic gain levels. Control switches include polarity, 48v phantom power, input pad, 2:1 transformer routing, and Mic/Line select. Each analog input contains a balanced low-level XLR connector and a high-level line input on a 1/4 inch jack.</p>
<p>The Digital section of the A<sup>2</sup>D includes two level pots to adjust the feed to the A/D converters, each with a corresponding 20-segment calibrated meter. A multi-position switch selects the desired sample frequency. The External Sync LED will light when an external clock signal is used.</p>
<p>Rear panel Analog connectors include an XLR input and output for each channel, as well as a balanced 1/4" TRS insert to the A/D converter. This allows the A<sup>2</sup>D to have external analog processing devices inserted in the audio chain (EQ, compression, etc.)</p>
<p>Digital interface connectors provided are SPDIF single ended RCA connector and AES digital out on XLR. A coaxial BNC accepts external "Super Clock" which will illuminate the front panel EXT SYNC LED when locked.</p>
<p>In addition, there are a pair of 9-pin D-sub connectors which allow the linking of multiple A<sup>2</sup>D units, all operating off the <b>first</b> sample-rate clock in the chain.</p><p><B>2 Year Warranty (labor) 5 Year Warranty (parts)</B><BR>
We double the standard API one year warranty (parts and labor) on this item.</p>

2-Channel Mic Preamp with stepped-resistor gain control, HPA2 headphone amplifier

The <B>Buzz Audio A-Rack</B> 8+1 is the result of many requests for a multi channel mic preamplifier system with the same specification as the venerable MA-2.2 True Class A preamp. To this end, we have designed a system that not only carries mic preamps, but can fitted with other modules when they come available. Planned additional modules include a Class A Compressor and Stereo Direct Box, initially we offer the MA-1.5 Mic Pre module. 
<P>The standard rack bin is 3 units high and includes the power supply regulator and monitor module on the right. Due to the high amounts of heat generated by the True Class A circuitry utilized in this design, adequate ventilation should be provided and it is suggested that 1/2U rack space is provided above and below the A-RACK if the unit will be covered with other equipment. Alternatively, the system can be supplied in a 4 unit high frame with built in 1/2 unit ventilation areas front and rear. In addition to the rack mount chassis, the A-RACK can also be supplied in an attractive 4U ventilated desk top enclosure.</P>

Chandler's newest series of units starts off with the <B>GERMANIUM </B>pre amp. A completely new design by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke that uses classic germanium transistors in all class A, transformer balanced, circuits. The use of germanium devices opens a whole new sound palate not found in any pro audio equipment currently manufactured. 
<P></P>These incredibly smooth sounding transistors were the basis of the earliest transistor designs by Neve (1053, 1055, 1057), EMI ( TG12345 MKI), Telefunken, and Fairchild. Those familiar with these units can attest to the special sound of the germanium tranasistor. The GERMANIUM series runs on +40 volt power, high current, and has a huge +34 output before clipping. The sound is warm and smooth as with many vintage style circuits, but you'll find a whole new world of smooth here as well as a sound that settles in perfectly to your tracks without fighting. Add these new circuits to Chandler's new transformer line that combines the best parts of our favorite trannies, St Ives and Gardners, into new great sounding input and output transformers.

Fearn family of products.t To make the VT-12 more versatile, we include provision for phantom powering condenser microphones. But since many engineers are concerned about possible damage to ribbon mics if phantom power is accidentally applied, we have a rear panel switch that disables all possibility of applying phantom power. The front panel “+48” switches are inoperative in this mode, and a dual red/green indicator displays the status (green for disabled phantom power, off when phantom power is available but not turned on and red when phantom power is turned on.)<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Specifications (Preliminary)</span><br><ul><li>Frequency response: +0.25dB 20Hz-20kHz (-3dB at 0.5Hz and 60kHz)</li><li>THD+Noise: <0.3% 20Hz-20kHz</li><li>Noise: <-72dBu, unweighted</li><li>Input Load Impedance: 1500 ohms</li><li>Maximum Input Level for 1% THD at 20Hz: -25dBu (-5dBu with pad)</li><li>Maximum Gain: 70dB</li><li>Input: transformer balanced</li><li>Output: transformer balanced</li><li>Maximum Output level: +22dBu into 20k ohm bridging load</li></ul>

Based on the exceptional compressor design found in the Drawmer 1969 Mic Pre/DI/Compressor, the <b>Drawmer 1968 Two-Channel Compressor </b>features improved metering and function with the incorporation of separate “big” switches for each channel, making it ideal for use in both tracking and stereo compression applications. <br> <br>The 1968's gain reduction cell is the same FET compressor with variable tube output stages as the 1969, giving it a rich euphonic tone with the speed and musical grace made famous by the 1969.<br>  <br> The "Big" switch feature on each channel provides the user front-panel control to easily remove the low frequency component of the program material from control of the gain reduction cell, effectively boosting the bass output. A patchable side chain is available in conjunction to the “Big” switch offering the user complete flexibility frequency dependent ducking. <br>  <br> The 1968 also features side-chain-listen capability granting the user the ability to perform precise and specific side chain control. The metering on the 1968 has also been expanded to meet the demands of modern tracking and two-buss requirements. <br>  <br> The VU meter can display either gain reduction or output levels while a sophisticated LED warning system has been implemented to warn the user as they approach the maximum operating level. The 1968 is a unit that was designed to be capable of being driven hard, which is the reason for the “+10” meter re-scaling switch, yet one need not be a maniac to enjoy the musical qualities of what we think you will find to be one of the most musical compressors you can add to your arsenal of tools.

Now our classic two channel mic preamplifier has been completely redesigned and transformed into the m201.<br><br>Like the rest of our line, the new m201 delivers unmatched audio performance, with massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The signal path has been hot-rodded to be fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in a wider dynamic range, while new high-current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. This means the m201 can translate a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded.<br><br>We offer the m201 with our state of the art 24-bit/192kHz A/D converter option, from the factory or as a retrofit to existing units. With the A/D converter module installed, the microphone preamplifier section or the M+S matrix can be routed to the A/D converter input directly for standard recording applications. Or, with the additional analog line inputs on the A/D converter module, the mic preamplifier and A/D converter sections can be used separately, which allows for external processing to be inserted between the mic amp and the A/D converter. External synchronization to word clock or Digidesign LoopSync is available, and features our proprietary dual stage PPL with s-Lock for extremely low jitter and rock solid digital stability without the use of sample rate conversion.<br><br>Our exclusive ribbon mic mode is standard, which shifts the gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, bypassing the decoupling capacitors and optimizing the input impedance. Each channel has an ‘input mode’ rotary switch which selects between a standard 48V phantom input, ribbon mic mode, a front panel DI input or optional DPA high voltage inputs (130V or 190V).<br><br>Included is our newly designed M+S (mid side) decoder circuitry with a built-in width control. The front panel width control is wired with a precision 12 position rotary switch which provides a ratio range from 100% mid (mono) to 30% mid / 70% side. The ultra-precision summing and difference amplifiers feed a set of dedicated outputs, allowing simultaneous recording of discrete mid+side signals as well as the stereo matrix.<br><br>The new front panel mounted HI-Z inputs are designed to accommodate a wide variety of high impedance input sources, making the m201 an excellent choice as a DI box which will flawlessly preserve the sound of any plugged-in instrument. Imagine the same resolution and detail as our microphone preamplifiers available for DI recording situations.<br><br>Whatever the application, the remarkable sonic performance and functionality of the new m201 will help you make the finest recordings of your career.Grace Design m201

Each channel has an ‘input mode’ rotary switch which selects between a standard 48V phantom input, ribbon mic mode, a front panel DI input or optional DPA high voltage inputs (130V or 190V).<br><br>Included is our newly designed M+S (mid side) decoder circuitry with a built-in width control. The front panel width control is wired with a precision 12 position rotary switch which provides a ratio range from 100% mid (mono) to 30% mid / 70% side. The ultra-precision summing and difference amplifiers feed a set of dedicated outputs, allowing simultaneous recording of discrete mid+side signals as well as the stereo matrix.<br><br>The new front panel mounted HI-Z inputs are designed to accommodate a wide variety of high impedance input sources, making the m201 an excellent choice as a DI box which will flawlessly preserve the sound of any plugged-in instrument. Imagine the same resolution and detail as our microphone preamplifiers available for DI recording situations.<br><br>Whatever the application, the remarkable sonic performance and functionality of the new m201 will help you make the finest recordings of your career.Grace Design m201
