Being admirers of  the fully balanced transformer-less circuits found in highly acclaimed  recording consoles, we chose to use a similar topology. We began with a  high speed input stage that would pick up lots of detail and nuance, and  then followed it with a high current output stage. Circuit headroom is  plentiful, and the input stage is very difficult to clip. Because of its  fully balanced design, it can handle input signals as large as +15dB  with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also like classic transformer-based designs because  of the characteristic they lend to the audio signal. Because of this,  we added a 600 ohm M-6 silicon steel output transformer to give the  audio a thick quality that's reminiscent of a prized vintage preamp.  It's the best of both worlds in our opinion. The preamp is single  channel and features phase, +48vdc phantom power, and 10dB output signal  pad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all of the other models in our Micro Series, the  elements of chassis and presentation are extremely simple, with a  minimum of the fluff and promotion that tends to drive up the cost of  equipment in our industry. If you're looking for eye candy and name  recognition to dominate your equipment list, this probably isn't the  preamp for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for the sort of  performance normally associated with high-end designs but need to  acquire it at a modest price, our mic preamp will make a wise and  affordable investment for your home or project studio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: 0-66dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+Noise: -110dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadroom: 30dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 8k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 600 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Black Lion Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449473658983,"sku":"27491","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/blacklion_autuer500_front_2f4ce360-7c1e-4f17-a230-502bf801f5eb.jpg?v=1787089090","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/black-lion-audio-auteur-500-preamp","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
