SPL’s GainStation 1 is a single channel standalone desktop preamplifier for capturing microphones and high impedance instruments.
Features
- Dual stage Class-A and tube analogue preamps
- Custom-made, fully discrete SPL Class A op-amps
- Tube saturation level can be dialled in
- 12AX7 LPS tube for clear, dynamic audio
- Switchable polarity
- 48v phantom power
- LED level indicators
- Switchable input impedance
- High headroom 60V DC Audio Rail operating voltage
- Extreme amplifier slew rate for rapid transients
Preamps such as the GainStation can amplify sources to a standard of quality that negates the need for copious EQ or compression later in the mixing process. More presence and substance is added to each signal, allowing them to cut through in a mix even at lower levels. Meanwhile lower-end signals remain transparent with clear intonation.
Three separate impedances are on offer and can be switched to match almost any microphone type from ribbon to large diaphragm condenser: 200 Ohms, 1,2 & 10 kOhms.
