Tube Mic Pre in a 500 Series Module

Add classic tube tone to your 500 series rack with the Radial PowerTube. This preamp features Class A design with a low-noise 12AX7 tube and a Jensen transformer. This combination delivers awesome detail and warmth to your recordings. A 3-position Vox control adds air to your instruments and bottom end to vocals. You can also bypass the Vox control for a pure, unaffected signal. Reduce pesky background noise by controlling gain and sensitivity with the VaryState input stage. When you want real tube tone, don't try to fake it. Get the Radial PowerTube preamp and feel that warm tube glow.
