This is a Brand new Locomotive Audio Model 286A dual channel Mic Preamp & DI, here is the description from the online site:The Versatile 286A :From beautiful glowing vocals, natural acoustics and punchy drums to overdriven and saturated classic tube warmth. Locomotive Audio's dual channel 286A offers a huge sonic palette for engineers and producers to explore. Its single-ended Class A tube signal path is what makes this preamplifier so special. Inspired by the great vintage Ampex 601 vacuum tube tape recorder, the 286A features two tubes per channel, one EF806 and one 12AY7. The 286A can play nice by acting clean and natural with gentle even-order harmonics for a smooth, sweet touch. Get more aggressive with the "Gain" knob and drive the first 12AY7 stage for a warm and colored thickening effect. Go all-out and slam the final 12AY7 stage and output transformer through the "Level" knob for a fully-driven, saturated tube amp sound! Clean and natural to overdriven and fuzzy warm; your choice! Along with its classic tube gain stages, the 286A has been given the modern front panel features that allow for flexible interfacing with today's studio equipment.Features:Microphone and high impedance instrument inputsOne EF86 & one 12AY7 per channelPolarity reverse switch20dB pad switch100 Hz low cut filter switchMicrophone load impedance switchMic/DI selection switch+48v phantom power switch3-position VU meter switch: CH1 - Off - CH2Custom Sifam backlit VU meterXLR input and output connectionsCinemag input and output transformersHigh-grade Solen capacitors in signal pathHand-built in USA with classic turret board techniqueHeavy 16 gauge steel chassis115v/230v AC mains option on rearBacked by 2-year limited warranty parts and laborSpecifications:Microphone input load impedance: 500Ω or 1800ΩOutput impedance: 300Ω1/4" DI impedance: 169kΩ72dB of gainFrequency response: 20Hz-20kHzMaximum 20Hz & 1kHz input level for 1% THD: -18dBu (+2dBu with Pad)Maximum output level: +26dBuTHD+N: <1% S/N ratio: >70dbDimensions: (2u Rackspace)Power Consumption (120/240VAC): 25 watts |
