Discrete transistors and transformers on both the input and output – combined with the Useful Arts exclusive color control – give the Hornet a positively huge sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow, make room for the \u003cstrong\u003eUseful Arts Swarm\u003c\/strong\u003e – a single rack space unit, hand-built in the USA, with four independent Mic\/DI channels that takes the Hornet to a whole new level. Sonically, the Swarm delivers the same huge sound as the Hornet, but its rack-mount form factor makes room for extra features including a high pass filter, 22 dB pad and phase control. Like the Hornet, the Swarm features discrete gain cell topology, a custom Cinemag input transformer, and a JFET DI. Dial in the Color control, and the personality of your microphone or instrument is enhanced and thickened without the need for compression or EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePreamps in interfaces are everywhere, but they don’t have much of a sound. The Swarm makes your music sound like a record even before it hits the interface. If you’re looking for a versatile front end that can handle a whole drum kit, or a combination of microphones, bass, guitar and keyboards, it’s here. And it’s affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Useful Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450832416871,"sku":"176276","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/useful-arts-swarm_176276_1.jpg?v=1787094713","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/useful-arts-swarm-4-channel-microphone-preamp-di","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
