The D.W. Fearn VT-2 recreates the sound of classic tube preamps of the 1960s. Modern components and computer-optimized circuitry, unavailable during the vacuum tube era, elevate this design to a new level of performance. The transparency is astounding. Vocals sound smoother, warmer, more
intimate, with a compelling presence. Any microphone and any sound will
benefit from the improved clarity, definition, and lack of solid-state
artifacts. Design Philosophy In designing the VT-2, no compromise in sonic quality, reliability, or ruggedness were permitted. Like the best tube equipment of the 1950s and '60s, the VT-2 is built on a heavy-guage aluminum chassis, utilizing point-to-point wiring. Each vacuum tube is selected for minimum noise and microphonics, and maximum sonic clarity. The front panel switches control sealed, gold-contact precision relays for all audio switching, eliminating the possibility of dirty contacts degrading the sound and minimizing the internal audio path. Four class-A triode amplifier sections (in two tubes) in each channel comprise the entire active circuit. This surprisingly simple circuit, along with top-quality components and careful design optimization, results in the sonic superiority that the VT-2 has become known for. All over the globe, VT-2 preamps are in daily use in the world's best studios, as well as in home project studios, helping many top recording artists achieve the best possible sound. Features <ul><li>All vacuum-tube design</li><li>Clean and airy high end</li><li>Fat low end</li><li>Unsurpassed warmth, transparency, and musicality</li><li>Lo-Z input position for superior performance with transformerless mics</li><li>+48 volt phantom power (completely disconnected when off)</li><li>Custom-design Jensen input and output transformers for superb sonics</li><li>- 20 dB input pad (switchable)</li><li>True VU meters (amplifier isolated)</li><li>All point-to-point audio wiring</li><li>High-performance, fully-regulated power supplies with exceptional reserve</li><li>Gold input and output XLR connectors</li><li>Polypropylene and polystyrene coupling capacitors</li><li>All audio switching through gold-contact, sealed precision relays</li><li>International operation on 100, 120, or 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz</li><li>CE certified, RoHS-compliant</li><li>+4 dBm output</li><li>Conservatively rated precision components and rugged construction for stability and long life</li><li>Line-level processing with the LP-1 Line Padaccessory</li><li>Single-channel version D.W. Fearn VT-1 also available</li><li>Direct recording of electric instruments with the D.W. Fearn VT-3 Vacuum Tube DI or PDB Passive Direct Box</li></ul> 
The D.W. Fearn LP-1 Line Pad
is a two-channel accessory for use with the VT-1 or VT-2 Vacuum Tube
Microphone Preamplifiers. It is simply a high-quality bridging-type pad
that accepts line-level inputs (+4 dBm nominal) and produces a mic
level output. The actual pad loss is 45 dB. When used in conjunction
with the VT-1 or VT-2 Input Pad (-20 dB), it allows the mic preamp to
accomodate line-level signals from consumer-level (-10 dBV) to high
professional levels (+10 dBm or more).
The LP-1 is packaged in a heavy-duty die-cast aluminum box, painted
with the same high-quality red paint and gold silk-screened labels as
the other D.W. Fearn products. The Input and Output connectors are
gold-contact XLR. The LP-1 is typically used when the subtle signal-modifying
characteristics of the VT-1 or VT-2 are needed on a line-level source,
such as a previously-recorded track, or at the end of a processing
chain. Several LP-1/VT-2 owners use the combination on the overall mix.
At least one CD mastering facility uses the LP-1/VT-2 in the mastering
chain. The LP-1/VT-2 combination can also often be used to
effectively salvage tracks that are otherwise too distorted or "edgy"
for master use.

Mercury EQH1 & EQP1 - Program Equalizers 
 
The Mercury EQ-H Program Equalizer has transformer balanced input and output, with a single ended gain make up amplifier. The EQ-H’s passive EQ/gain make up amp topology provides a musically satisfying result unobtainable with active and parametric EQ’s, since it does not rely upon negative feedback (and all it’s associated phase and dynamic distortions) to achieve equalization. Our new Mercury production utilizes only the highest quality passive components, while remaining true to the original production.
 
The Mercury EQ-H1 has a different amplifier than the Mercury EQ-P1 thus it has a different tone. The EQ-H1 and EQ-P1 sound different on the same application. The EQ-H1 is more punchy and robust and the EQ-P1 is more open and silky.
 
The Mercury EQ-P1 also has transformer balanced input and output, with a fully balanced (push-pull) gain make up amplifier. The only modernization feature on the unit is a user switchable (in/out) interstage transformer. In the original Pultec EQP this transformer was always in the signal path, however, realizing that some of today’s engineers might want to remove it with the Mercury EQP1 Program Equalizer it is possible to do so with in/out switch on the Front Panel. This takes the middle (interstage) transformer out of the circuit Up, in the "in" position, it is more "vintage" like the original Pultec. Down, in the "out" position, it is a little more "open" and "airy." Either way, the input and output transformers are always in the circuit. Our new Mercury production utilizes only the highest quality passive components, while remaining true to the original production.
 
The Mercury EQ-H1 and EQ-P1 Program Equalizers have realized all of the original Pultec specification in a modern production. We have not "improved" this unit, rather, we have kept all elements in line with the original designer’s ideas. The Mercury EQ-H1 and EQ-P1 is truly built to be a new classic, and work its magic today or in 50 years! Mercury 66). next 50 years!

The Purple Audio MC77 supercedes the MC76 re-engineered 1176 type FET Limiter. The MC77 recreates the audio circuitry of the revision E 1176, using modern components matched to the original. One significant component is the input attenuator. The input attenuator that was custom made for the original revisions A-F 1176 and for the Purple MC76 by Clarostat was discontinued in 2002. It was a J series T-pad attenuator with two 600Ω "build out" resistors to keep a constant 600Ω load on the source and primary of the input transformer. Clarostat changed carbon manufacturers and the new carbon manufacturer was unwilling or unable to make the part. Purple temporarily stopped making the MC76 to find a solution. We tried several three deck Clarostat 70 series pots in different configurations to achieve the same loading and to match the taper. We found a solution that matched the original; both the originals and replacement parts are drawn in the schematic that you can download below. At the same time, we looked at feedback gathered from the hundreds of satisfied MC76 users. Based on that feedback, we incorporated useful new features into the revised unit, which was designated the MC77. NEW features in the MC77: 
<UL>
<LI>True Bypass via sealed relay with front panel switch 
<LI>Improved stereo linking with front panel switch 
<LI>Sidechain insert loop or key input with front panel switch 
<LI>Buffered VU meter can monitor input or output level at +4dBu 
<LI>LED meter lights that don't burn out as incandescents do 
<LI>Heavy gauge black stainless steel enclosure 
<LI>115v/230v operation switchable from rear panel (serial# 600) </LI></UL>Features inherited from the MC76: 
<UL>
<LI>Discrete Transistor Audio Path Electronics 
<LI>Single Element Class A Output Amplifier 
<LI>Transformer Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs 
<LI>Zener Shunt Regulated Audio Power Supply 
<LI>Compression Ratios - 4:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 20:1 
<LI>Fast Attack Time - 20 microseconds to 800 microseconds 
<LI>Release Time - 50 milliseconds to 1.1 second 
<LI>Gain of 45dB (full gain with no limiting) 
<LI>Ruggedized Design - PCB stiffener, chassis mount transformers 
<LI>Purple Anodized Aluminum Front Panel 
<LI>3 year warranty</LI></UL>
