Practically Brand New, been sitting for past year unused. We tested it when we first bought it with an intention to buy more 500 series gear ie eq and compressor etc but never found the money or the need to expand into expensive pro gear in the end. Now realize it's money just sitting there and really needs to find a new home where it'll get some good use.
Must admit though it does add warth to the sound that even our TLaudio valve compressor can't mimic and this being just a 'preamp' is quite something!The FAMED Soundskulptor MP573 (Neve 1073 inspired 500 series preamp)About 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!The MP573 can also be DIRECTLY LINKED (via an internal cable) with the concentric EQ573 which will in essence, give you the full channel strip.FeaturesSingle ended class A designCarnhill/St. Ives transformers on input and output0 to 70 dB of gainSwitchable first stageThe output stage is biased in a rich Class A with 70mA of iddle currentFet DI input, relay switched, the signal passes through the input transformerSignal/Clip LED monitors clipping in both stages24V supply built from the +/-16V with a linear regulatorGolden contacts on relays and switchesJumper selectable input impedance : 300-1200 ohms.High quality Grayhill gain switchNicely damped quality conductive plastic potentiometerHigh precision aluminium knobsTantalum capacitors in the audio path (as in original)High grade 105°C low ESR electrolytic capacitorsWIMA film capacitors1 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 The first 2 positions bypass the input stage. In combination with the level potentiometer the overall gain can be set between 0 and +70dB4 Polarity Sets the polarity (phase) of the output signal5 Sends phantom power to the microphone6 High impedance input (> 1 megohm) for instruments. The instrument signal goes through both transformers
