Because of the special balanced push pull double triode circuit, it is virtually silent and distortion free, and has a very open, clean yet warm sound. The extended frequency response and lack of phase shift make it ideal for classical or rock recording.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Earlybird 2 has a simple yet very effective EQ for top, mid and bass in the feedback circuit (switchable). The high pass filter has been designed so that it works conventionally at lower settings, but on the 2 highest settings is gentler, and provides a mid cut when used in conjunction with the active bass lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Earlybird 2 does not have to sit idly by on a mix! A separate line in socket is provided so that it becomes a valve EQ and can produce a wonderfully warm distortion if required. The Output Trim control is placed after the electronics (as on The Phoenix ) and if turned back to a low setting, The Earlybird 2 can be overdriven by increasing the Gain setting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thermionic Culture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450205827175,"sku":"82980","price":3350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/thermionic-culture-earlybird-2-2-mic-pre-eq-016-used_82980_1_d25b94b8-11cc-4cdd-bb54-f7d3c08e0be3.jpg?v=1787092119","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/thermionic-culture-earlybird-2-2-mic-pre-eq-016-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
