Phoenix Audio DRS 8 MKII 8 Channel Class A Microphone Pre Amp DI

Phoenix Sound is dedicated to the development of Class A discrete modern technology made use of within high build-quality equipment made for both the professional and the home studio environment. The DRS-8 Mic-Pre uses our well shown as well as enjoyed Classroom An output phase (DSOP-2) coupled with our customized wound transformer, however additionally has our most current innovation in transformerless Course A, Discrete Mic Input Technological innovation which provides a “valve-like” noise. The DRS-8 is the height of over 40 years encounter producing Course A circuitry within the Sound Audio Sector. The DRS-8 is based on the initial Phoenix unit the DRS2, this bespoke product was launched by Phoenix Sound in the U.K. in November 1999, and has actually enjoyed an almost “cult” observing ever since. The Classroom An outcome stage (TF1) was initially designed by David Rees, the developer of the famous Neve 2253 Limiter and also 2254 Limiter/compressor (among lots of additional designs), as a retrofit for Neve modules, and the TF1 has actually now been superseded by the DSOP2 output phase. The Class A, discrete, really balanced, transformerless mic input phase was created to out-perform any sort of transformer input for regularity response, yet has all the qualities anticipated in a high quality Classroom A layout.
