LaChapell 583S MK2 TUBE MIC PREAMP

Features:

• FIRST TUBE MIC PRE 500 SERIES MODULE: The 583s was the first ever tube mic preamp for the 500 series. It is extremely versatile, allowing a wide range of sonic options from clean to harmonically rich. It’s great for use on almost any source with almost any mic.
• TRUETUBE™ 250V POWER: TrueTube™ technology supplies both the plate and filament of the tube with the proper voltages they need to access the full characteristics of the tube. Other 500 series modules cannot supply the needed 250V and don’t have the headroom or harmonics that characterize that classic tube sound.
• FRONT PANEL HI-Z INPUT: A front panel Hi-Z input allows the 583S to be used as an instrument preamplifier. When a 1/4″ jack is inserted into the Hi-Z input, the 583S switches into instrument mode, bypassing the input transformer so the instrument accesses the tube directly.
• DUAL DRIVE KNOBS: Dual Drive knobs on the 583S provide an incredible array of tonal options. The input knob drives the input to the vacuum tube and the second knob drives the output stage. Together, you can dial in sounds from pristine to warm and harmonically rich.
• VPR ALLIANCE CERTIFIED: Certified by the VPR alliance giving you the assurance that it operates within specifications. Even though we properly power the tube with 250V, the 583S draws no more power than other modules (and less than many). You can fill a properly powered frame with 583S mic preamp modules with no problems whatsoever.
• BOUTIQUE QUALITY TRANSFORMERS: With a Cinemag input transformer and Jensen output transformer, the 583S mic preamp maintains a boutique quality signal chain from I to O. Every aspect of the 583S has been designed for sonic quality that will last for generations.
