A Blue Class-A Preamp For You Because of its retro-futuristic look, Robbie The Mic Pre was named for Robbie The Robot from the old science fiction movie, Forbidden Planet. But that's where the similarity ends. Robbie is BLUE's new Class A discrete tube microphone and instrument preamp, incorporating all of the technical quality and design innovation that goes into BLUE's award-winning microphones. BLUE Robbie the Mic Pre at a Glance: One of the quietest tube preamps ever! Super-simple controls with pad and phantom power Unique design and shape but still rackable One of the quietest tube preamps ever! With no ICs and only the highest quality discrete components, Robbie is one of the quietest (-131 dB EIN @ 50 ohms) and most detailed (THD 0.006%) tube preamps we've heard. It features audiophile-grade ultra low-noise metal film resistors and polystyrene capacitors, and provides you with the best of solid-state and tube technology: an electronically balanced, fully discrete input stage, a tube gain stage (ECC88 twin triode), and an electronically balanced solid-state output stage. There is no switching crossover distortion anywhere in the completely balanced audio signal path. And if that's not enough, Robbie achieves an amazing 34dB headroom before clipping! Super-simple controls with pad and phantom power Robbie's front panel features only a large backlit potentiometer (gain) and 1/4" hi-Z instrument input. On the back of Robbie, you'll find the power cable input, power switch, balanced XLR mic input, balanced XLR line output, polarity switch, -20dB pad, input selector switch (mic/instrument), and phantom power on/off. Unique design and shape but still rackable Shortly after Robbie's arrival (on this planet), BLUE created a special optional shelf for those who wish to rackmount the uniquely-shaped Robbie. Racked or not, Robbie is receiving rave reviews! BLUE Robbie the Mic Pre Features: Single-channel tube mic/instrument preamp 10Hz-100kHz frequency response Discrete Class A architecture with no ICs Super-quiet, with extremely low THD 34dB headroom Robbie is an astonishingly great tube preamp! Customer Reviews  I Love It !! It's got my vote.   by Rob Lewis from Chicago, Illinois, December 17, 2007 Music Background:  Engineer “I've been in the Recording and Live Sound Industries for 40 years,and I can tell you this is my favorite Mic Preamp for vocals. Robbie's got great tone and unexaggerated warmth that brings the vocals out to the front of the mix with a beautiful ,articulate,and natural sound. I also own a Focusrite Liquid Channel and an Avalon VT-737,both are great channel strips costing more,with less...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "Plenty of gain, enough for a ribbon; amazingly clean, too!
