Description
Product information "D.W. Fearn VT-2"
In designing the VT Series of Microphone Preamplifiers, no compromise in sonic quality, reliability, or ruggedness was permitted. Like the best tube equipment of the 1950s and ’60s, each VT preamp is hand-built on a heavy-gauge aluminum chassis, utilizing point-to-point wiring. Additionally,Each and every vacuum tube is selected for minimum noise and microphonics, and to deliver maximum sonic clarity. The front panel switches control sealed, gold-contact precision relays for all audio switching, totally eliminating the possibility of dirty contacts degrading the sound quality while minimizing the internal audio path. Four class-A triode amplifier sections (in two tubes) in each channel comprise the entire active circuit.
This elegantly simple circuit, expertly executed with top-quality components and careful design optimization, provides the sonic superiority that the VT-Series preamps have become known for.
The VT-2 Preamplifier also features an integrated, switchable 43 dB pad, enabling it to be patched into the Master Bus at line level during mixdown and mastering to provide the unique D.W. Fearn sonic signature to the final product.
