ANALOG SOUND, DIGITAL CONTROL

Class A microphone/line/instrument preamplifier with digital recall

+28 dBu of Analog Headroom

+28 dBu of analog headroom, Class A fully analog design, inspired by the renowned British dual amp topology.



Input and Output Transformers

_PHOEBE is a fully transformer-balanced unit, staying true to its vintage heritage.

 

 

Crank Up the Gain!

Microphone gain up to 75dB — providing high gain, ideal for low-level microphones!



Recallable Signal Source

Keep two sources connected and easily switch between the XLR socket (LINE/MIC) or front panel XLR/TS socket (LINE/MIC/Instrument) via the DAW plug-in for quick recall.

Output Passive Attenuation up to 15dB!

PAD – A passive output attenuation circuit with 1 dB steps, managed via a relay cascade, located after the output transformer for precise level control.



Switchable Input Impedance

The input impedance can be switched between 1200 ohms and 300 ohms, ensuring optimal integration with vintage microphones for enhanced performance and sound quality.

Precise Signal Metering

Fully integrated with DAW plug-in, featuring output signal metering and CLIP detection for precise monitoring and control.



Full Remote Control

Now you can place your preamplifier wherever it’s most convenient, and manage everything effortlessly from your sweet spot!
