Focusrite RED 1 500 Series Mic Pre - MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER

(This text is machine translated) The 500 Series Red 1 Microphone Preamp, with its red anodized aluminum front panel, is perfect for those who remember the wonderful sound of the original Red Focusrite Series and wish to bring that sonic signature to the modern studio. With a custom Lundahl LL1538 transformer in input and a Carnhill transformer in output (just like the original), switchable phantom power, reverse polarity, and an easy-to-read backlit VU meter, the Red 1 Series 500 offers an interface compact for digital recording plus convenient access to any control room. The output stage of the Red 1 Series 500 can be connected to very long cables up to several meters without having a significant loss of quality: a feature that makes it ideal for remote recording. The microphone gain is set via a gold-plated switch in 6dB steps between -6 and + 60dB, for a precise adjustment that allows recall of the channel settings.
