Soundskulptor MP573 500 Series Preamp (Neve 1073 Clone)Designed and crafted by Jean-Pierre Kuhn, France. Hand assembled in the UK by Matt Kent, Renegade Sound Ltd. Approved builders of Soundskulptor in the UKPostage price is to UK only. EU add £5. International add £10About the MP573If you have any thoughts on buying a classic British preamp (I.e. a Neve or similar) then look no further than the Soundskulptor MP573, the stunning 500-Series preamp designed by Jean-Pierre Kuhn in France.You will simply be pushed to find a better sounding 500 series preamp at this price that will get you as close to the nuance and character that is associated with the "British" sound.This preamp is as close to a Neve as it gets (for half the price). Its larger than life sound (featuring the huge Carnhill transformer) will deliver you a massive 70DB of gain. Sounds incredible on vocals. Sounds incredible on everything basically!Sound on Sound Review:http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr12/articles/sound-skulptor-mp573.htmI pride myself on expert build quality and service. The build quality is of manufacturer standards, run up to temperature and fully tested (at Renegade Sound Recording Studio - www.facebook.com/metrosoundstudios) prior to delivery.All builds come with a 1-year no quibble guarantee (this is from Renegade Sound Ltd./Matt Kent NOT Soundskulptor directly).The MP573 can also be DIRECTLY LINKED (via an internal cable) with the concentric EQ573 which in essence creates the full 1073 channel strip.We are Renegade Sound Ltd. based in St Albans.

1 Output level: Potentiometer that sets the signal level to the output stage2 Signal/Clip LED: Flashes green when a signal is present and turns red 3 dB before clipping3 Gain switch: In combination with the level potentiometer the overall gain can be set between 0 and +70dB. The 10 and 20 positions entirely bypass the input stage.4 Input impedance: Center is the standard 1200 Ohms input impedance. Left sets a 300 Ohms low impedance, useful for ribbon mics that also adds 6 dB of gain. Right sets a 10 kOhm impedance input pad for line levels.5 Polarity Sets the polarity (phase) of the output signal6 Sends phantom power to the microphone7 High impedance input (> 1 megohm) for instruments. The instrument signal goes through both transformers.
