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.

Tone blending is continually variable between 100% tube and 100% solid-state, offering a practically infinite range of unique preamp tones, plus the ability to easily dial-in your own signature sound.

The input attenuator is right up front, like a variable pad so your loud rock ‘n’ rollers won’t cause a problem either. Track direct with the Direct Instrument input or bring your line level inputs into the SLAM! for processing. The DI inputs have selectable input impedance, depending on how far you plug the 1\/4\" cable into the jack: push it in all the way and the input impedance is 100KOhms, pull it out halfway and it becomes 10 megOhms which reduces pickup loading and allows all the highs to get through. Come on in!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGet it LOUD... two different and distinct limiters per channel:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ELOP® LIMITER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our beloved Electro-Optical Levelling Amplifier circuit, the ELOP®, still the favorite for vocal tracking, shows up here with its new switchable side-chain high pass filter making it much more useful for mixes and other tracks as well. One of the most appreciated aspects of our original ELOP® is the simplicity of a two knob limiter, which is optimum for demanding pro recording pressures. You can still grab two knobs and have complete control of level and dynamics and be ready to hit that record button. Intuitive controls and a straight ahead signal path through quality components simply work. The ELOP® limiter implementation is done like we did in our VOXBOX® which pioneered the idea of limiting the mic signal before it hits any active stage. The ELOP limiter moves to the line stage when LINE is selected. The ELOP sidechain provides different HP filters on a toggle. The 200 Hz setting has been tailored for vocals and adds a touch of de-essing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe FET LIMITER: \u003c\/strong\u003eHere’s a new fast FET based \"brick wall\" limiter that spans the range of clean predictable limiting to the grunge and gravel that other FET based limiters are desired for. The FET RELEASE control allows you to dial up a variety of colors. There is even a \"CLIP\" setting that provides as round a shape as has ever been available. (Read more below about the CLIP settings.) We aimed at \"sound\" first, then experimented with circuits until we heard what we wanted discovering fresh approaches that provide a very wide range of useful dynamic control. For example, you can set up for a fast brick wall limiter with slower releases for minimum artifacts, or go with the faster releases to get some crunch and then get extreme loudness. The Attack control is unusual too providing the sonic control common with its historic brothers but very unusually retaining the zero overshoot “none-shall-pass” brick wall that defines a real limiter. And it’s punchy! As the saying goes, “Louder is better.” The SLAM! optimizes levels to analog to digital converters with ballz, warmth and loudness verging on silly or just clean and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is especially nifty is the ability to use the ELOP® and FET limiters together at the same time dialing in whatever amounts of each effect you like. Every limiter has its own character or sound and here we have combined two powerful world-class tools that can be uniquely blended and mixed to taste and purpose. Even the metering is appropriate for each limiter so you can easily see how each is contributing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetering on the SLAM! is exceptional. The two full size real VU meters show you the raw input levels, the final output levels, and the ELOP® Limiter gain reduction in the traditionally preferred format for visually displaying apparent loudness. VU’s are cool. Noticing how mastering engineers often need a switchable pad on their VU's because the \"optimized\" levels tend to pin the needles in the red, the SLAM! VU’s also have a 0, -3dB, -6dB switch to help with this situation. There are also very fast and super accurate multi-color LED ladder peak meters that display the input and output levels and the FET gain reduction, and some combinations. They will do Peak, Peak Hold timed, and Peak Hold until reset, and also allow you to manually set where the individual bars change colors to match your other gear. And with maximum clean I\/O levels of +30 dBu, it is a lot more likely you will use these meters to see what’s clipping downstream. It probably won’t be the Manley tube line drivers inside!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back panel should keep everybody happy. In the sea of jacks including the big power supply connector, you'll find all the usual XLR’s for transformer balanced I\/O and 1\/4\" phone jacks for direct unbalanced I\/O. Eight Bantam jacks in a mini-patchbay configuration handle the side-chain inserts and linking functions. You can insert EQs into the ELOP® and FET limiters, and there are more jacks for you to mix in an external signal into the side chains. Another pair of jacks provides for easy linking for 5.1 surround work if you have three or four SLAM!'s. It’s all here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaking of Linking... all previous Manley dynamics units require both channels to be setup for near identical settings rather than the more common \"just set the Left side\". The SLAM! lets you do it both ways. The \"L Side\" method is the \"STEREO LINK\" mode and is quick and convenient but, like others, uses a mono mix for the side-chain. The \"BOTH \u0026amp; EXT\" adds the rear panel link jacks to the link buss so you could chain up several SLAM!s for linked surround work. Both or all 6 channels should be set similarly. This mode is usually better for mastering as it responds to the true peak level of the channels rather than an artificial mono mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside the Box, that's where the power supply is. The illuminated power switch turns on the external power supply. Keeping the power supply far away also keeps additional heat and magnetic fields away from the precious audio. The power supply is housed in a sturdy cast aluminum 7\" x 4\" x 5\" box that is easy to mount to or place in the bottom of a rack. A seriously humongous 16 pin connector, and 6' multicore cable connects the two boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SLAM! also seems a natural as a mastering tool. The FET limiter works great on mixes, and the ELOP® now has a high pass filter switch that is spot-on for mastering. We offer a dedicated mastering version which eliminates the mic preamps, adds detented controls replacing the pots, and provides extra metering options. Manley compressors and EQs seem to be the most popular pieces of gear ever when it comes to mastering. The ultimate analog rack for the final important touches to the mix would have include the SLAM!, The Variable Mu® and The Massive Passive.

Not just the Beatles or George Martin, but also the REDD.37 recording desk that was used to record most of their earlier work.

These V72 modules have not been available new for 40 years, and working units have become extremely rare and expensive. It is the uniquely musical tonal characteristics of these preamps have made them the prized possession of many engineers lucky enough to get the vintage modules, and a \"secret weapon\" for many studio musicians. With that in mind, Mercury Recording Equipment has made a faithful reproduction in the M72s -- not only of how the units behave, but of how they SOUND overall. The addition of pad, phase, phantom and gain controls make it even more versatile without sacrificing the most important feature: Musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most sought after Telefunken\/Siemens \"V series\" modules are famous for being used in Abbey Road's REDD.37 consoles.

Unlike those vintage modules that had fixed gain, The V72 at 34dB, and the \"V72s\" at 40dB, the Mercury M72s has variable mic gain from 28dB to 58dB. Also, with the M72s, you have a selectable input pad of -16dB or -28dB for even more control. When the -28dB pad is engaged and it is set at the lowest gain setting (28dB) you can run line level signal through the M72s. This will provide a warm, rich path for mixes, keyboards, drum machines, samples etc... There are also all the modern features we expect on a new piece of equipment: 48V DC (Phantom), Phase Reverse (Polarity) and Direct Input for Bass or Electric Guitar per channel. The Mercury M72s has the rich lows and punchy mids that the vintage V72 modules have but a more open high end. The Mercury M72s Studio Microphone Amplifier has that \"vintage\" tone and \"break up\" like the original modules but it is a bit more musical over all (not cleaner... more musical, there is a huge difference).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mercury M72s brings that \"vintage\" magic back!

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.

In ways it is Distressor-like, but has other differing characteristics including a much longer available attack time, and additional circuitry. Four ratios are provided, 2:1 being the gentlest with a long 20dB knee, good for subtle compression such as while tracking or on the Buss.

This can often help maintain transients and a sense of dynamic range while enhancing the low level nuances. Mike-E has a built in mix control to submix in the uncompressed signal to the compressed signal. As the user rotates the MIX control from full right to full left, he goes from the full compressed signal to the full dry signal (absent of any compression or saturation). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; \"\u003eThe EL-Q Lil FrEQ.

The addition of a variable impedance circuit allows ISA users to perfectly match the preamp with any microphone, or to use different settings creatively to shape the sound of the microphone. Unchanged for decades, the ISA microphone preamp topology offers incredible clarity and the signature Focusrite sound that makes it the top choice among many audio professionals today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optional class-leading eight channel A-D converter option used with the ISA 828 is also compatible with the ISA 428 MkII. Along with the four mic preamp inputs, four additional inputs allow you to route other line signals through the converter. High quality Burr-Brown Pro Audio Amplifiers and flagship PCM4220 A-D converter chips seated within Focusrite custom analogue circuitry deliver unparalleled performance. Specifications include a dynamic range of 122dB and jitter performance below 250 picoseconds. The card can be retrofitted at any time.

This transformer-based preamplifier formed the first half of the ISA110 mic pre and EQ module on Focusrite's critically acclaimed Forté console. This console, and the later Studio console were hailed by many as the finest sounding consoles ever built. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ISA microphone preamplifier went on to form the cornerstone of all ISA and RED Focusrite products. The topology has never changed, except for the addition of a variable impedance circuit, allowing ISA users to either perfectly match the preamp with any microphone, thus maximizing level, or to use different settings creatively to shape the sound of the microphone being used. The original ISA 110 setting was supplemented by three further impedance settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Focusrite preamp is renowned for its transparency, but there's also a subtle warmth that transformer core saturation contributes. This seeming contradiction of warmth plus beautifully open, unrestricted high frequencies, is a classic hallmark of the mid 80's Focusrite designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith processors whose bandwidth is strictly limited to the audible (20Hz to 20kHz) bandwidth alone, significant roll-off can still occur, affecting the higher audible frequencies of the signal. Therefore, in order to capture every subtle nuance, exactly as it occurs whilst avoiding any roll-off, the preamp must operate over a far greater bandwidth. The extremely broad frequency response of Focusrite preamps - close to 200kHz at the top end - guarantees accurate phase response across the much narrower range of human hearing, the roll-off point being moved entirely outside of the audible hearing range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrainworx bx_console Focusrite SC plugin exclusively free for Clarett, Red, RedNet and ISA customers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.altomusic.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/enhanced-product\/brainworx-banner-1366-768.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Focusrite","offers":[{"title":"Pre-Owned | On Order","offer_id":46168117018907,"sku":"ISA428MK2EBAYPRO","price":1594.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New | On Order","offer_id":46168117051675,"sku":"ISA428MK2","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/9049\/3723\/files\/1283418480_img_177092.jpg?v=1692023611"},{"product_id":"api-the-channel-strip-c01","title":"API The-Channel Strip","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAPI The Channel Strip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of thoughtful engineering, The Channel Strip includes everything needed to record an audio signal.

Combining eight active tube stages and the low noise and reliability of solid state electronics, the Drawmer 1960 provides the ultimate direct interface between the sound source and the recording medium. The Drawmer 1960 is a two channel unit with each channel comprised of a completely natural sounding \"soft knee\" vacuum tube compressor and an extremely low noise microphone pre-amplifier with switchable 48 volt phantom power. A further auxiliary instrument pre-amp with EQ is also provided. This powerful combination of the classic valve circuit, offering unsurpassed tonality, and the low noise balanced microphone input with up to 60dB of gain has allowed engineers throughout the world to exploit the full potential of high performance condenser microphones. An example of this would be the direct to digital stereo recording of live classical music without the necessity of a mixing console. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tThe Compressor : Because the compressor is a soft knee type, it requires few controls. Strictly speaking, a soft knee design does not have a rigidly defined threshold but the title 'Threshold' has been retained for the \"amount of compression\" control for the sake of familiarity. The Threshold range is continuously variable between infinity and -24dB, the theory being that signals below the threshold are essentially unprocessed and the signals exceeding this threshold are subjected to increasing amounts of gain reduction dependent on by how much they exceed the threshold.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tThe attack and release times are switchable rather than being continuously variable and this method of operation falls into line with that of its all valve predecessors. Attack simply offers a-choice of slow, medium and fast whilst release has six settings. Positions one to four have fixed release times whilst positions five and six are two different programme dependent release time modes making the unit ideally suited to programme material with complex dynamics such as complete stereo mixes and vocals. Interestingly, the attack times are further modified by the choice of release setting so the range of choices are wider than it might first appear.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tBecause compression is a form of controlled gain reduction, a stage of make-up amplification follows the compressor section giving a range of +20dB. The VU meters may be switched to monitor either the amount of gain reduction taking place or the output signal level and the two channels may be used either independently or as a stereo pair, depending on the setting of the stereo link switch. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tThe side chain access points may be used to patch in equalisers to enable the compressor to act as a de-esser.

This ensures that every transistor is kept at its optimum operating point, minimising nonlinearities due to changes in current and internal thermal effects, and eliminating the objectionable “cross-over” distortion typical of class AB circuits.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\tDue to the higher steady state (or “quiescent”) currents used, the power dissipation of class A circuits is substantially higher than can in general be handled by integrated circuits. It is also possible to design discrete transistor circuits to operate at higher voltage rails than are available for audio integrated circuits, adding the benefit of greater headroom and improved dynamic range.
