From Our Research Team:Premium Mic Preamp with 4-band EQ!Vintech has produced the new X81 Class A mic preamp with equalizer. While many people love the classic Neve 1081 module because of its versatile equalizer section, many feel that its use of Class AB amplifiers causes it to lack that certain "magic" associated with the Class A amplifiers found in the Neve 1073 module. The Vintech X81 Class A features the same great microphone preamplifier as our X73, but with a more comprehensive 4-band equalizer with Q adjustments on the two midrange frequencies.Vintech utilizes the same Class A amplifier designs found in the original Neve 1073 module throughout the X81 Class A. The equalizer section features ten low/mid frequency points, ten hi/mid frequencies, and five frequency choices on both the low and high shelving adjustments. The X81 Class A also includes a highpass filter, a DI, and an output strength meter. The Vintech X81 Class A preamp requires an X73 power supply. Vintech X81 Class A microphone preamp Features:

Very pro sounding. It may seem expensive upfront, but the first time you playback after tracking with it you'll know it was money well spent. Combine the X81 with an 1176LN or Distressor compressor and you'll be amazed. close [-]
