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 high-pass 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: Class A, all discrete, transformer balanced design 4-band equalizer with low and hi mid Q adjustment Swiss made, military grade, hand-wired attenuator switch Custom concentric style hand-wired switches and potentiometers Custom machined aluminum knobs Customer Reviews  I can't believe no one's reviewed this yet..   by Dave from WA, April 15, 2007 Music Background:  musician, budding recording/mixing engineer, self producer. “...because the X81 rocks! This is a frontend that makes everything sound better. Easy to use, musical EQ, great pre, great build quality, quiet. Very versatile, run anything through it. And you can achieve the famous Neve sheen. Great value when you compare to the price of a Neve 1081 module. The EQ can be surgical without changing the overall sound. Very pro sounding. It may seem expensive...” Read More • Write Your Own Review More Single-Channel Preamps from Vintech: · Vintech X73 View All Products from Vintech  Tell a Friend About the X81!  Print This Page
