Is every mic preamp now obsolete?

Imagine having 50 of the world’s finest ALL TUBE preamplifiers available to you at any time, all in one unit! That’s exactly what you get with Vipre, a single channel all-tube mic pre that easily ranks as the world’s most flexible — and coolest — mic preamp. This is as state-of-the-art as tube technology gets. At the core of the Vipre is a multi-tap high-performance input transformer with four distinct positions: 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 ohms. This feature opens a much larger sonic window for each microphone, and gives you the ability to magnify certain attractive tonal shifts in the way it responds to impedance changes. What it means is that it can make any mic sound absolutely amazing! You’ll hear timbres you never expected your mics were capable of before. With this unprecedented level of tonal control, you can raise the highs and bring the mic closer to you, or smooth it out and make it rounder, or soften hard 'esses' without having to go into a de-esser. . . The possibilities are enormous! With three distinct audio inputs (XLR, TRS and Instrument), four Impedance selections, a transformerless bridging input setting, and five Rise Time variations, the Vipre can be set for over FIFTY different tonal variations, all without ever requiring EQ or other signal-degrading devices to achieve them. Moreover, the all-tube Vipre is mature technology, meaning that its design will never be outdated, no matter what the industry accepts as the next recording standard in the next five, ten or twenty years. Everyone is raving about Vipre, and Sweetwater is one of the few places that carry it. Order yours today!
