Designed, built, “ear tested,” and beta tested by long-time recording industry veterans, the Pacifica takes its sonic cues from the mythic Quad Eight console, a recording desk that easily stood toe-to-toe with API and Neve. However, the A-Designs Pacifica is by no means a vintage reissue—it has a sound and character all its own. Said by top professionals to have the depth of a Neve, the midrange of an API and the high-end of a Massenburg, the Pacifica has quickly established itself as the go-to preamp for numerous Grammy-winning and platinum-selling engineers and producers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn keeping with A-Designs Audio’s mission of sound quality above all, the features of the Pacifica are just what an audio professional needs to record high-quality tracks and no more. Sonically compromising extra switches and components of dubious features are eliminated from the signal path. Plus, with 72dB gain and extremely low-noise operation (-128dB EIN) the ribbon mic-friendly Pacifica ensures clarity and fidelity—whether you’re going for transparency or plenty of punch and character.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePaying homage to the color scheme of the Quad Eight Pacifica console, the hand-crafted Pacifica sports a rich, cream-colored finish with solid-feeling, red metal gain knobs; a red +48V phantom-power push button with red LED indicator—both for easy identification if ribbon mics are involved; plus grey push buttons for phase reverse and –20dB pad—all giving the Pacifica a look reminiscent of California girls, beach boys, and classic Woodies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIt also has two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs, but just like a classic Woodie, it’s what’s under the Pacifica’s hood that gives the DIs a special kick. Unlike other preamps, the Pacifica’s DIs are routed through the input transformer, which puts signal through two transformers for added depth and richer tone. And these aren’t just any transformers. Key to the Pacifica’s sound, they’re custom-designed input and output transformers built by Tom Reichenbach of Cinemag (whose father, Ed, built the transformers for the original Quad Eight desks). The output transformers are custom wound and share the same design as those found in the original Quad Eight. Input transformers are pure, proprietary A-Designs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBut transformers don’t tell the whole story. Another key factor to the Pacifica’s sound is its wide-bandwidth design, which ranges from 9Hz to 101kHz with less than 1% distortion. Along with its custom transformers, the linear response down below 10Hz provides the big, punchy sound that the Pacifica has become famous for. It also provides harmonic content well above the range of human hearing, which reduces in-band phase shift for more realism, along with the added benefit of more harmonic information to work with at mixdown—turning your EQ into a creative tool rather than a corrective one.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhile some may believe the glory days of recording are over, The Pacifica is “living” proof that those days have never left us, and better days are still ahead. Put an A-Designs Audio Pacifica in your rack in hear the difference.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A Designs Audio","offers":[{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46167945871643,"sku":"PACIFICA","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pre-Owned | Out Of Stock","offer_id":47102209655067,"sku":"PACIFICASPEBAYPRO","price":2148.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/1438603574_1173495.jpg?v=1720535399"},{"product_id":"great-river-electronics-mp2nv-mp2nv","title":"Great River Electronics MP2NV","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eThe MP-2NV (two channel mic preamp) greatly modernizes and improves classic British design.

Now, with the Mercury M76m, we have brought to life the V72s' \"big brother\" - the V76. The Mercury M76m is a recreation of the original German designed Telefunken \/ Siemens amplifier module used in many European broadcast and recording desks. The V76 modules, however, are more well known as an outboard rack mounted preamp and are highly sought after by studios and engineers all over the world. Of all the V76 amplifiers, the \"V76m\" has always been the most desired because of its useful variable gain control, (as well as no filters intended for broadcast use). Original V76 modules have not been available new for 40 years and working vintage units have become extremely rare and expensive. Furthermore, due to its overly compact modular design, the V76 modules are now, after four decades, not as mechanically sound as they once were which causes problems sonically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tWith that in mind, Mercury Recording Equipment Co. has recreated the transformer balanced, four tube per channel, high gain amplifier.

Mercury took it one step farther than a \"recreation\".

The Gain control is 0 to +60dB in 6dB increments, that works in conjunction with the Level control and Output Attenuation Control. Also, all the staple features one expects from a modern piece of equipment were added: Phantom power, Phase Reversal (Polarity) , and an amazing sounding direct input on each channel.

A Designs Audio has built two. The all-tube MP-2A and the solid-state Pacifica, but we're here to talk about the MP-2A (you can check out the Pacifica later). With A Designs Audio's MP-2A, not only do you get a never-ending sweetspot and sonic majesty, it also gets top marks in \"works and plays well with others.\" Meaning, while some preamps are picky when it comes to mics, the MP-2A welcomes all — and sounds great no matter what you put through it — ribbon, dynamic, or condenser. Better still, while the MP-2A falls squarely into the realm of \"color\" preamp, it never overwhelms a track with too much character. If you've been searching for an all-tube preamp with a rich bottom end, sweet and airy top end and enough tonal versatility to record all of your tracks without over-colorization at mixdown, think A designs Audio MP-2A.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tA Designs Audio MP-2A, First Take:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\t\tTrue tube in, tube out stereo mic preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\t\tWorld-class custom-wound transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\t\tTwo \"tone\" switches, give you four unique tone signatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\t\tAudiophile quality and components and a price below comparable boutique preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\tTrue tube mic preamp\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tThe MP-2A is a classic 2-channel tube mic pre based on the celebrated MP-1. It offers the same true tube in\/tube out design, plus the same quality that made the original MP-1 and MP-2 the buzz of the professional audio industry. New features include a -20 db pad switch, two selectable tone switches for four possible tones, plus 60db of gain (perfect for next generation ribbon mics) Classic features include a world-class Cinemag input transformer coupled with a custom wound output transformer, delivering the low noise and top quality sound that you demand from a high-end, high-priced mic-pre. Additional features include a balanced combo XLR\/1\/4 inch input, a true VU meter, phantom power and phase reverse switches, and a front panel line level input jack.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tCustom transformers, the key to punchy sound and quiet operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tA lot of preamp builders believe that transformers are things to be avoided, but in reality, they're responsible for the sound we prefer in rock\/pop music. The trick is finding good ones. Bad transformers can ring or decimate the upper frequency range, but when a transformer is properly designed and built, such as those by Cinemag (whose lineage includes making transformers for the top consoles in recording history) they are a thing of beauty, delivering a full, punchy sound like no other. Plus, thanks to the superior electronic isolation of transformers, noise and hum is reduced. That's why you can overdrive an MP-2A and get rich, milky distortion without the extra noise. The transformers you find in A Designs Audio's preasmps are hand- and \"ear-\" built by Tom Reichenbach of Cinemag. Tom is the son of the designer of the legendary Quad Eight consoles, whose sound rivaled Neve and API consoles at one-tenth the price.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tTonal Versatility\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tWith a lot of preamps, you'll find that they tend to have only one setting where you hear the magic. Move past it, and the magic is gone. The problem is that you can't always run it at that setting based on the strength (or lack of) of your input source. Then you have the A Designs Audio MP-2A all-tube, stereo preamp. Thanks to its fixed-gain amplifier design (with input attenuator), you get consistent behavior whether the preamp is turned up or down. Add to this the fact that you have 2 \"tone\" switches per channel that give you a palette of four unique, world-class sonic flavors, and you'll understand why we say you could make an entire record with just this one preamp.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tAudiophile quality and sound made affordable.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tBuilt to audiophile-quality standards with a price tag well below other boutique preamps in the same class, the MP-2A is a true tube preamp with no solid state components in the signal path. The MP-2A relies solely on tubes, film capacitors, and custom transformers. To maintain the integrity and purity of its sonic signature, bells and whistles are kept to a minimum. This serves two purposes. First, the more switches in the circuit path, the more sound quality can be negatively affected. Second, by keeping only necessary features, costs are kept down—and your money goes where it really counts—sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\tWith the A Designs MP-2A has obviously succeeded in their mission \"Pro audio made affordable.\" Here's what users are saying about the MP-2A:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\"Stunning sound quality with serious bass response and a warm, airy top.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\"Adding the MP-2 to my Direct-to-Disk DAW was like finding the holy grail of warm analog sound.

Luckily, there’s the 2-channel Cloudlifter CL-2 Mic Activator by Cloud Microphones – a perfect solution to any situation in which you need to cleanly boost a microphone signal before the preamp. Driven by the phantom power circuit on board your mixer, the Cloudlifter CL-2 adds up to +25dB of perfectly transparent gain to your signal, giving low-output mics a major boost which can make even budget microphones sound clean and professional.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tThe Cloudlifter CL-2 is also ideal for use with any ribbon mic, since it changes the phantom power that can hurt them into the extra gain they require. Install techs and live sound engineers love the CL-2, because it can provide long cable runs with enough energy to ward off noise.

With two channels of the classic tone you know and love, 72dB of gain, sweepable high-pass filters for precise control, and the power of Mr. Rupert Neve’s dual-tap transformers with variable Silk saturation, the 5211 delivers a versatile, flattering, and uncompromising front end for any signal path. In short, it’s everything a mic preamp should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Evolution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe very first product from Rupert Neve Designs was the beloved 5012 Duo Mic Preamp, and the 5211 represents a dramatic evolution of the 5012’s features, circuit design and form factor, all brought together with the custom output transformer from the flagship Shelford Channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst amongst the updates is the addition of variable Silk, which saturates the class-A output stage in the way that only a Rupert Neve Design can. This dials the harmonic content up to and beyond that of Rupert’s classic designs, while still providing the option of a pristine, open \u0026amp; modern sound when disengaged. The amplifier circuity has also been refined and updated with higher voltage +\/-21V rails for improved signal-to-noise ratio, superb headroom and tremendous dynamic range – a hallmark of Rupert’s evolved designs over the last several decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing the Silk circuit is the custom-designed output transformer from the renowned Shelford Channel, which uses Rupert Neve Designs’ dual-tap output topology. This offers both full-headroom (+26dBu) and -6dB outputs, allowing the engineer to drive the unit fully into classic transformer saturation without clipping converters and other devices later in the chain. The 19” 1U chassis provides the space required for a robust internal auto-switching power supply, which provides ample, stable power anywhere in the world. Finally, the faceplate has been powder-coated in the distinctive “Shelford” color for an unmistakably classic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe “Best of Both Worlds” Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Shelford Channel, which uses a mic input transformer for a more vintage topology, the 5211’s input is fully transformerless, maximizing signal clarity direct from the microphone. Combined with the more extreme saturation from both variable Silk and the custom output transformer’s lower-headroom tap, the 5211 is capable of producing tones ranging from thick \u0026amp; warm to breathtakingly delicate \u0026amp; clear. It’s the best of old and new alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreamplifier Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone input is balanced but not floating, using a Transformer-Like-Amplifier (T.L.A.) configuration to capture the microphone’s signal in as pure a manner as possible. With the +48V phantom voltage switched off, this input serves as an extremely high quality line input with an impedance of 10K Ohms. Each channel features 72dB of extraordinarily low-distortion, low-noise gain using a stepped switch in 6dB increments with a continuously variable +\/-6dB trim. Individually selectable polarity, +48V phantom power, and a swept high-pass filter from 20-250Hz are available to further control the input, with Silk control available for the outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSilk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is Silk? In brief, Silk is a tonal option applied within the unit’s output stage that manipulates the signal’s harmonic content to create the sonic character associated with Rupert Neve’s vintage modules. By reducing negative feedback and saturating the output transformer while adjusting the frequency spectrum, Silk provides a sweet, musical enhancement of the input signal – and when the level is driven to the edge of its headroom, the Silk’s effect is multiplied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"New | In Stock","offer_id":46170720436507,"sku":"RND5211","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Repack | On Order","offer_id":49351246217499,"sku":"RND5211RP","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/RND5211_0_2.jpg?v=1692028674"},{"product_id":"motu-8m-thunderbolt-hybrid-audio-interface-9310-c01","title":"MOTU 8M Thunderbolt Hybrid Audio Interface","description":"\u003ch3\u003eMOTU 8M \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic MOTU audio quality with the shockingly low latency of Thunderbolt connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSP-fueled mixer onboard gives you the added benefit of EQ, compression, and effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpand your production system with additional AVB networkable audio interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MOTU 8M includes eight magnificently clear MOTU preamps onboard, which each sport V-Limit protection to ensure clipping doesn't ruin your sound.

The only question is, how much? In the case of the 8M, the answer is, not much at all. In the 8M, latency is measured in a handful of samples, from the time an audio signal first goes digital to its arrival somewhere else (to an output, the mixer, or the computer). By keeping latency this low in the hardware, the 8M helps minimize latency introduced by your host software. Over Thunderbolt, round trip host latency in an impressive 1.4 ms, from analog in, through the host, to analog out (@ 96 kHz with a 32-sample host buffer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThunderbolt Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThunderbolt lets you connect displays, hard drives, and other peripherals to your computer, along with the 8M, and the Thunderbolt bus won't even break a sweat.

The modern-day Phoenix Ascent Gyrator EQ gives you High, High-Mid, Low-Mid and Low frequency bands, each notched to proven frequencies from a shimmering 25kHz on down to a thumping 40Hz. There's also a high pass filter at 80Hz, which can eliminate rumble or be used \"against\" low-end boosts for an extra range of unique EQ curves (think: Pultec). Even at extreme boosts and cuts, the Ascent Gyrator EQ's uniquely musical filters maintain the core quality of your original signal, allowing you to make bold, gut-level EQ moves that won't sound harsh, slurred or out of phase. Used more subtly, these four filters are capable of highly coherent tone shaping suitable for full mixes and mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriving the Output Circuit for More Tone Shaping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoenix Audio's renown DSOP-2 output amplifier, with its custom-wound transformer, is able to deliver everything from ultra-clean signals with abundant headroom to fat, fully saturated tones.

Or, do the opposite—back off on the output while boosting the input—and you'll get huge, clean, hi-fi tones.

This specially-designed transformer, along with its careful integration with the surrounding class-A circuitry, is critical to the amplifier’s bold, mid-focused magic that can be heard on thousands of classic recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the majority of the harmonic richness found in Rupert’s designs is a product of the output transformer and surrounding class-A amplifiers, this step-up input transformer also imparts a unique musical enhancement of its own. The technical reasons for this are primarily a result of the reactive impedance characteristic of the input transformer and how that interacts with the connected microphone, resulting in subtle, non-linear harmonic enhancement of the lows and an unmistakable sweetness in the high frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile creating the input stage for the Shelford Channel and Dual Shelford Pre, the goal was not merely to recreate the classic designs, but to advance them: combining the unmistakable sound of the vintage technology with wide-bandwidth frequency response, consistently excellent amplifier performance at any gain setting, and extremely low noise operation. To achieve this, the custom transformer designs were carefully optimized and complete MuMetal shielding of the input transformer was implemented. The resulting preamplifier is flat from below 10Hz to above 60kHz, resulting in the purest possible tone and the very highest levels of versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Silk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exclusive Silk \u0026amp; Texture circuit on the Dual Shelford Mic Pre allows you to fine-tune the amount (and type) of harmonic content in the output stage. This means your signal can be adjusted from quite transparent to settings that produce nearly 10x the amount of sonic color as Rupert’s vintage modules – and in two very unique modes. No matter what sound you’re looking for, Silk can get you there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you apply SILK RED, you’re enhancing harmonic content generated by the highs and high mids of your source. This adds a sparkly sheen to the top end, and is often ideal for sources including vocals, snare, strings, pianos, and other acoustic instruments. With SILK BLUE, you’re enhancing harmonics generated by the lows and low mids of your source. This tends to “beef up” a signal from the bottom up, making it a great choice for drums, bass guitars, heavy electric guitars, male vocals, and synthesizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Dual Output Level Transformers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementing the Silk circuit are the custom-designed output transformers, which use Rupert Neve Designs’ distinctive dual output topology. These offer both Main (+26 dBu) and -6dB (+20 dBu) outputs, allowing the engineer to drive the preamps fully into classic transformer saturation without clipping converters and other devices later in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main outputs are designed to capture a more pristine sound at high levels, avoiding any nonlinear coloration of the output stage. The -6dB outputs allow an engineer to fully drive the Shelford – adding dynamic tone with these same nonlinear “colorations” – without clipping most professional interfaces. On drums, vocals, guitars and other instruments, these outputs let you easily hit the transformer’s “sweet spot” of nonlinear harmonic content, bringing a recorded performance to life in a way that other preamps simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46244230627611,"sku":"5025","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Repack | On Order","offer_id":49351307002139,"sku":"5025RP","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New - Bundle: with a Shelford Compressor | In Stock","offer_id":49459424821531,"sku":"5025BUNDLE","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/ShelfordDualMicPre5025-straight-white.jpg?v=1760640645"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.altomusic.com\/collections\/dual-channel-mic-preamps.oembed","provider":"Alto Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
