From Our Research Team:

Avid's ultimate high-performance mic preamp

Experience eight channels of absolutely astounding preamplification. Avid's PRE delivers absolutely pristine, high-definition audio to your system in exquisitely clear detail. Eight fully discrete, matched-transistor digitally controlled preamps are responsible for the PRE's incredibly transparent sound. This highly flexible circuitry easily accommodates mic, line, and direct instrument signals. Although you can access its settings directly from it front panel (allowing you to use it purely as an outboard multichannel preamp), you can keep your Avid PRE located comfortably in your rack, remotely controlling its settings entirely from within Pro Tools|HD or an Avid control surface.

Avid PRE 8-channel Microphone Preamplifier Features at a Glance:
  • 8 discrete matched transistor hybrid microphone preamps
  • Fully remote-controllable from within Pro Tools|HD or via an Avid control surface
  • Support for mic (XLR), direct instrument (DI) and line level inputs (1/4")
  • DB25 analog outputs for easy connection to Pro Tools audio interfaces or any other recording/mixing medium
  • Inserts points on all 8 mic pre channels
  • High-pass filter, phase reverse, and 48V phantom power
  • Selectable impedance matching for mic, line or instrument inputs
  • MIDI IN/OUT/THRU ports for remote operation

Avid's PRE puts eight pristine microphone preamps in your Pro Tools|HD rig for an incredible low price!
