SPL's
new dual-channel tube microphone preamplifier, the "GoldMike",
employs very high quality tube circuitry to deliver vibrant,
transparent sound in all recording applications. The amplification
chain features matched ECC 83 vacuum tubes, powered by a separate
250-volt supply - true high voltage tube operation is essential if
the tubes are to function correctly and deliver their
characteristically 'open' sonic character.
Class
A tube circuitry is used throughout the preamp signal chain with
each channel designed as an independent mono unit to provide
absolute separation between channels. Not only does this
dramatically reduce crosstalk, it also improves imaging and depth
when the unit is used to make stereo recordings.
Though
GoldMike's forte is in handling critical microphone recordings, such
as choirs, acoustic instruments and vocals, it will produce superior
results in most recording situations. Its warm yet detailed sonic
character combined with a very low noise floor make it particularly
well suited for digital recordings while its unique FLAIR function
is especially designed to add clarity and 'air' to vocals.
High-quality ALPS pots and "click-free" switches provide
precise, quiet control. The output level is constantly monitored by
two backlit VU-meters and an independent power supply provides the
extremely clean 48-volt phantom power source.
