The analog purist. This is the preamplifier for the lover of pure analog technology. With motorized volume control, retro-look-VU-meter, tape monitor and the all superior VOLTAiR technology the Elector brings analog sources to new life. Milled from solid is the big 45mm Volume control. Its mass together with the motorized Alps RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer enhances the “spoon in the honey” feeling even further. The red marker LED makes the setting visible even in darkened environments. Volume RC The volume can be remote controlled with any infrared remote control, that the Elector simply learns. To do this, press the IR programming button and then the buttons for louder and quieter. Learning made easy This video explains how you can use any infrared remote control to remotely control the volume and the source selection. Source of joy Up to six (6 !) analog stereo sources can be connected to the Elector. The Elector offers three pairs of balanced inputs with XLR connectors and three pairs of standard inputs with gold-plated RCA connectors. Good ol' times Two mechanical VU meters visualize the input levels for the left and right audio channel. With the VU switch you can optimize the display for different signal levels. Tape Monitor A tape monitor circuitry is quite retro. Who still owns a cassette recorder or a tape machine? Who still has an equalizer? To put it another way: Who would like to do it and cannot do it because no manufacturer offers a tape monitor circuit anymore? Well, those who want can again. Today’s audio levels are much higher than in the past and many recorders will be overloaded by them. In that case simply press the switch and the level to the recorder is lowered by 10 dB. To compensate, the level from the recorder is increased by 10 dB. Et voilà. Preamp & Direct Out On the output side, power amplifiers or active loudspeakers can be connected to the preamp output sockets using XLRs. The Direct Out via RCA picks up the output signal before the volume control and thus offers the possibility to connect a headphone amplifier. AMP CTL Practical are the AMP CTL sockets to which power amplifiers with 12 V trigger inputs can be connected in order to remotely switch them on and off together with the Director Mk2.

Our powerhouse mono-block. With the power of 1000 W this amplifier controls every loudspeaker effortlessly. Thanks to VOLTAiR technology it is fast, direct and highly efficient with an outstanding sound. Individual design The Performer m1000 can be equipped with a black, red or silver decorative panel that are included in the scope of delivery. This gives you a choice of three colour variants for your chosen basic colour. The decorative panels adhere with the help of a strong neodymium magnet. No tools are therefore required for changing them. Better safe than sorry The Performer m1000 has a protection circuit against DC voltage and a limiter against output overload. If direct current (DC) is detected, the output stage switches off automatically and the Protect LED lights up red. To protect the output against overdriving, an LDR limiter (light-dependent resistor) is used. Since it works optically, the audio quality is not affected. The Protect LED lights up yellow when the limiter responds. As one calls into the forest, so it echoes out. This saying inspired us to send the input signal out again in order to drive another power amplifier in bi-amping mode. Trim to fit With reference to the m1000, “fit” means adapted. And you can adapt the input sensitivity in 0.5 dB steps. From 0 dB to -5.5 dB. This is the much more audiophile solution for acoustically problematic rooms or loudspeaker set-ups than the panorama potentiometer of the preamplifier. In addition, the difference in loudness of loudspeakers can be elegantly compensated in bi-amping mode. Plus & Minus The loudspeaker binding posts can accommodate banana plugs as well as a stranded wire with a diameter of up to 4mm. For bi-wiring operation, both types of connection can be used together. No loudspeaker with less than 2 ohms impedance may be connected. AMP CTL The power amplifier can be switched on and off using the AMP CTL connection between the Performer m1000 and a preamplifier such as the Director Mk2 or the Crossover. To do this, connect the 3.5 mm jack sockets with a cable with 3.5 mm mono or stereo jack plugs. Third-party preamps can also switch the Performer m1000 on and off with a 12 V trigger. Keep cool Inside the Performer m1000, six fans usually do nothing at all, because 90% of the heat is passively dissipated via massive heat sinks. Should it nevertheless become really loud for a really long time, the processor-controlled fans remain virtually inaudible at only 19 dB (A).

The director sets the tone. The central unit of the HiFi system is the preamplifier. With remote source selection and volume control, retro-look-VU-meter, premium DA-converter and the all superior VOLTAiR technology, the Director Mk2 caters for musical blockbusters.

Learning made easy This video explains how you can use any infrared remote control to remotely control the volume and the source selection. Source of joy Up to ten (10 !) stereo sources can be connected to the Director Mk2. Six of them are for analog and four for digital input signals. The source selection is shown in the dot matrix LED display: IN 1 through IN 6 for the analog inputs. AES, USB, COAX, OPTI for the digital inputs, where the detected sample rate is displayed after about two seconds. For example U768 = USB input with 768kHz sampling rate. The source selection can also be operated remotely if the rotary switch is set to the “Remote” position. The Director Mk2 offers two pairs of balanced inputs with XLR connectors and four standard inputs with gold-plated RCA connectors. On the digital side there are four additional inputs. PCM audio is received in S/P-DIF format via coaxial Cinch, optical Toslink and balanced XLR (AES). Both PCM audio and DSD audio can be converted via USB. The DAC768 The highly acclaimed AKM AK4490 Velvet Sound™ premium DAC chip is used as the converter chip in the digital-to-analog converter, which thanks to its new architecture reproduces the finest sound details. It converts PCM audio with a resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 768kHz, which is equivalent to 16 times CD resolution. Direct Stream Digital is also supported up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256. The DLP120 The analog output of the DAC chip must be filtered by a low pass filter. Director Mk2 has two of them: One for PCM audio and one for DSD audio, since different roll-off frequencies are required. And in contrast to all other DACs in the world, the low pass filters here are built using VOLTAiR technology, which provides a plus in dynamics and headroom.

AES, USB, COAX, OPTI for the digital inputs, where the detected sample rate is displayed after about two seconds. For example U768 = USB input with 768kHz sampling rate. The source selection can also be operated remotely if the rotary switch is set to the “Remote” position. The Director Mk2 offers two pairs of balanced inputs with XLR connectors and four standard inputs with gold-plated RCA connectors. On the digital side there are four additional inputs. PCM audio is received in S/P-DIF format via coaxial Cinch, optical Toslink and balanced XLR (AES). Both PCM audio and DSD audio can be converted via USB. The DAC768 The highly acclaimed AKM AK4490 Velvet Sound™ premium DAC chip is used as the converter chip in the digital-to-analog converter, which thanks to its new architecture reproduces the finest sound details. It converts PCM audio with a resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 768kHz, which is equivalent to 16 times CD resolution. Direct Stream Digital is also supported up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256. The DLP120 The analog output of the DAC chip must be filtered by a low pass filter. Director Mk2 has two of them: One for PCM audio and one for DSD audio, since different roll-off frequencies are required. And in contrast to all other DACs in the world, the low pass filters here are built using VOLTAiR technology, which provides a plus in dynamics and headroom. Good ol' times Two mechanical VU meters visualize the input levels for the left and right audio channel. With the VU switch you can optimize the display for different signal levels. Tape Monitor A tape monitor circuitry is quite retro. Who still owns a cassette recorder or a tape machine? Who still has an equalizer? To put it another way: Who would like to do it and cannot do it because no manufacturer offers a tape monitor circuit anymore? Well, those who want can again. Today’s audio levels are much higher than in the past and many recorders will be overloaded by them. In that case simply press the switch and the level to the recorder is lowered by 10 dB. To compensate, the level from the recorder is increased by 10 dB. Et voilà. Preamp & Direct Out On the output side, power amplifiers or active loudspeakers can be connected to the preamp output sockets using XLRs. The Direct Out via RCA picks up the output signal before the volume control and thus offers the possibility to connect a headphone amplifier. AMP CTL Practical are the AMP CTL sockets to which power amplifiers with 12 V trigger inputs can be connected in order to remotely switch them on and off together with the Director Mk2.

Mastering Equalizer This is a unique equalizer – for several reasons. It has two times five fully parametric filter bands, each of which can be switched between constant Q and proportional Q! And there’s sheer unlimited headroom and a very special kind of EQ sound – thanks to 120V technology. Stepped Potentiometers Recall of all settings is easy thanks to the potentiometers with 41 steps. Cut/Boost & 1/4 Gain Each filter band can be boosted or cut up to 20 dB. If only minimal changes are required, the 1/4 Gain switch can be used to reduce the boost or cut range from +/-20 dB to +/-5 dB. Frequencies We have designed the frequency distribution to overlap widely between the bands, so that problematic frequencies can also be addressed with two bands. Bandwidth Q The bandwidth Q determines the steepness of bell characteristic. A small Q is a wide bandwidth and a high Q a narrow bandwidth. The labeling of the scale is divided into two parts. The values with white background refer to the proportional Q mode and the values without background refer to the constant Q mode. On/Off The orange button is used to switch the individual filter band on and off. Constant & Proportional Q The blue button is used to toggle the Q mode. In constant Q mode, the amplitude is constant regardless of the selected bandwidth. This is ideal for eliminating interfering frequencies. In proportional Q mode, the amplitude is proportional to the bandwidth. It decreases with increasing bandwidth and vice versa. At the smallest bandwidth setting, the maximum amplitude value is +/- 20 dB, while the maximum amplitude decreases to +/- 2.8 dB at the largest bandwidth setting. This control behavior simplifies sensitive, creative processing and is musically very useful, since high amplitudes become increasingly unusable with increasing bandwidth. Auto Bypass For an objective evaluation of the edited music program, it makes sense not to switch between the original signal and the edited signal yourself, but to leave this to an automatic system. It is also an advantage that, for an optimal evaluation of the processing, one does not have to move from the stereo center and can concentrate fully on the program. With the help of the Interval control the switching time window can be determined. Turning it clockwise extends the time interval. Link The PQ is designed as a completely separate dual-mono, two-channel equalizer and can individually process two mono music programs simultaneously. It is of course also possible to edit a stereo program (left/right). If the Link function is activated, the functions LF, LMF, MF, MHF, HF On/Off and Con. Q/Prop.Q on both sides are switched together by the buttons on one side. This makes it possible to activate or deactivate a filter band or the Q characteristic on both sides of the equalizer with a single button operation. In Link mode, the right side controls the left side as factory preset. However, this can be adapted to individual working habits. If the channel switch of a channel is pressed until it flashes, this channel controls the other side from that moment on. Channel On/Off The orange button switches the entire channel on and off.

Passive Mastering Equalizer In the PASSEQ we have revived the concept of the passive equalizer that was used in the 50’s and 60’s. The charming sound of this vintage technology combined with the modern 120V technology results in a very special equalizer. Only one filter All control functions are part of only one passive filter. There are three frequency ranges: Low Freq / Mid Freq / High Freq Each with a cut control on the left and a boost control on the right. In the middle is the output control. Design A passive filter has no amplification stages. It can therefore only be lowered. If one frequency is to be boosted, all the others must be lowered. Behind the filter there is a stage that makes up for the lowered overall level. Since low noise is particularly important here, since up to 20 dB can be made up for, the 120V technology comes into its own. The entire passive filter (variable resistor, capacitor and coil) provides a very nice sound characteristic. Besides the choice of components, the charging behaviour of the capacitors and the saturation behaviour of the coils play a major role in this. The resulting relative inertia compared to potentially very fast active filters is the reason for a pleasant, musically advantageous sound characteristic. We would choose smoothness and transparency as well as strikingly silky highs and pithy basses as a description that suits our perception. During fine-tuning, through component selection, in countless listening sessions, the emphasis was on achieving the most musical sounding curves possible, which, for example, need fear no comparison with a Pultec EQ from the 1950/60s. Only without all the disadvantages of a 60 year old original, such as the very high background noise, but above all the very limited frequency selection. Another highlight of the PASSEQ is the HF+ band, which has been extended by the frequencies 25 kHz and 35 kHz and sounds so incredibly good that you don’t want to switch it off.

Mastering D/A Converter Mercury is the first mastering DA-converter in 120V technology. It offers seven digital stereo input sources, all of which can be synchronized with each other or with a word clock. The additional variable output qualifies Mercury as a monitor controller. Seven Digital Sources Mercury provides connections for a total of seven digital stereo input sources. For each digital source there is a dedicated and illuminated tactile switch for quick selection and quick comparison. The detected sample rate is shown in the display. One USB input and two coaxial, two optical and two AES/EBU inputs are available. AES input 2 also supports Dual-Wire (DW) mode. Sync The display shows the synchronization status and the detected sampling rate. Any source except USB can be synchronized to another source or to an external Word Clock. If the sync “Source” is selected in the display, each source uses its own sync code embedded in the signal. O dBfs Holding the Sync button for more than two seconds Mercury will change to the 0dBfs display. Mercury offers all reference levels in dBu corresponding to a 0 dBfs (full scale) digital signal: +14, +15, +16, +17, +18, +20, +22 and +24 dBu Fix & Var The FIX OUT is an analog balanced stereo output which can be calibrated to all common reference levels (see 0 dBfs). Mercury offers a variable analog balanced stereo output. This output provides the same signal as the FIX OUT, but the level is continuously adjustable. Thus Mercury can also be used as a state-of-the-art monitor controller. Variable Output This analog potentiometer is used to control the level of the VAR OUT output. We use the ALPS RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer with a nice “spoon in honey” feel and excellent channel tracking. So not only the auditory but also the haptic experience of volume control is at the highest level.

16-Channel Mastering Monitor Controller The MC16 is designed to monitor surround and immersive audio projects (Dolby Atmos®, Auro 3D®, etc…) in the analog domain, offering the same unrivalled quality as 120V stereo monitoring. 16 Speakers Sixteen buttons are used to activate the corresponding loudspeakers. The 16 inputs of Input 1 and Input 2 are routed directly to the outputs to ensures that an output routing of a DAW session always matches the routing in the MC16. The buttons allow you to insert a label with the exact name of the loudspeaker. 2 x 16 MC16 offers two 16-channel inputs to quickly compare a current project with a reference production. Monitor Level This analog potentiometer is used to adjust the monitor level. We developed a 16-level potentiometer, with which we could realize the volume control in the analog domain, because we did not want to accept a digital control, which is afflicted with resolution deficits and limited dynamic range. Presets You can save speaker setups to three memory locations. So you can quickly call up a 5.1 or an 11.1 or a 9.1.6 configuration. In solo mode, three more memory locations are available with the same keys. For example, you can create solo groups for all front speakers and all ceiling speakers and all rear speakers.

Mastering Compressor As a mastering compressor, IRON is inspired by the legendary vintage tube compressors à la Fairchild, Collins or Gates and has been developed in a way to give modern productions more energy and power with the advantages of the 120V technology. Input & Output Input and output levels are switchable in a control range of +/- 12dB. An increase of the input level leads to more intensive compression. When mastering full scale material, the reduction can be useful. The output is used to adjust the level ratios of input and output. Attack & Release The time parameters Attack and Release are switchable in six steps from Slow to Fast. The times vary depending on the rectifier circuit selected. Side Chain EQs With the side chain EQs, compression can be focused on frequency ranges. In addition to an inserted EQ, there are four internal EQ presets with a partly complex frequency response. Rectifier The tube stage is controlled by a rectifier circuit. There are six diode control characteristics generated by germanium, silicon and LED diodes or combinations thereof. Variable-Bias Limiter/Compressor The IRON Mastering Compressor is a variable-bias (variable µ) limiter/compressor from the basic concept. IRON works on the principle of the bias controlled remote cutoff tube. Parallel to this, a medium-variable-bias triode (sharp-cutoff tube) with a steeper characteristic is connected. The tube bias voltage (BIAS) can be adjusted in three steps. The tubes are integrated into special Lundahl manufactured balanced high-level double core mu-metal-iron transformers. AirBass & Tape Roll-Off The compressor is followed by a passive filter network with two equalizer presets: AirBass and Tape Roll-off. The AirBass filter boosts low and high frequencies by about 1.5 dB and the Tape Roll-Off filter emulates the typical frequency response of a tape machine. Link All functions can be set via switches and the threshold via a rasterized potentiometer which makes recall easy. The settings of Threshold, Bias, Attack, Release, Rectifier and Side-Chain-EQs are transferred from the right side (channel 2) to the left side in Link Mode, in which the compressor operates with summed control signals. Auto-Bypass Channels 1 and 2 are activated with the large illuminated IDEC switches. In Auto Bypass mode, the channels are automatically switched on and off, which leads to a more objective assessment. The Interval control is used to adjust the time window continuously between two and 20 seconds.

Mastering Console The DMC is the heart of the mastering studio. The converters, the players, the DAW, the recorders and the speakers are connected to them. The audio quality of the console is therefore crucial. And like all devices of the mastering series, the DMC also works on unparalleled 120V operating voltage. Inputs & Sources Audio signals that shall be processed are connected to the Inputs and audio signals for comparison or playback are connected to the Sources. Four stereo inputs pairs are available for each. Each input channel can be switched on/off, phase reversed and trimmed in 0.25 dB steps. A stereo input can be switched to mono. The large potentiometer for the recording gain allows sensitive gain rides. If it is not used, it should not be activated. This keeps the entire control stage outside the signal path. Monitoring & Inserts Three pairs of speakers can be operated for full-range, mid-field and near-field monitors. Speakers D is for a mono loudspeaker. Preferably a Phonitor headphone amplifier is connected to the Phonitor HP Out, whereby it can be programmed whether the loudspeaker is automatically switched off during headphone operation or not. The same applies to the subwoofer. It can be programmed with which monitor it is paired and activated together. The insert return can also be trimmed in 0.25 dB steps to compensate for the finest level differences after an insert chain. The Hermes Mastering Router is preferably connected to the inserts, with which up to eight stereo processors can be connected and freely routed and stored. In the monitoring section, each loudspeaker channel can be solo’ed and phase reversed. The large monitoring level potentiometer has an illuminated indicator so that the monitor level can be easily assessed even from a greater distance. A loudness compensation (+/- 10 dB) can be activated. Alternatively it can be linked to the Insert, Sources or Inputs switches allowing loudness compensation at any stage. DMC & MC 16 Yeah, it looks kind of wild. Makes sense, though. The DMC can be linked to the MC16 for surround and immersive audio applications. Dolby Atmos® or Auro 3D® projects can also be realized. The MC16 is the world’s first analog 16 channel monitoring controller. Mastering studios often use the L/R speakers and subwoofer for stereo and multi-channel monitoring. The combination of DMC with MC16 makes it unnecessary to replug these speakers. Pressing the Speaker A button for two seconds transfers the volume control of L/R and Sub to the MC16 and pressing it again brings it back to the DMC. In this way, stereo and surround projects in a studio can easily be performed one after the other.

Mastering Console The DMC is the heart of the mastering studio. The converters, the players, the DAW, the recorders and the speakers are connected to them. The audio quality of the console is therefore crucial. And like all devices of the mastering series, the DMC also works on unparalleled 120V operating voltage. Inputs & Sources Audio signals that shall be processed are connected to the Inputs and audio signals for comparison or playback are connected to the Sources. Four stereo inputs pairs are available for each. Each input channel can be switched on/off, phase reversed and trimmed in 0.25 dB steps. A stereo input can be switched to mono.

Surround Monitor Controller The SMC 7.1 expands analog surround monitoring to 8 channels and offers Solo, Solo-In-Place and Solo-To-Center as well as a headphone jack. Inputs & Speaker Management Two 7.1 and two stereo input sources can be connected to the SMC 7.1. This is important because in monitoring, two productions are always compared with each other. A subwoofer can be added to a stereo input by activating the LFE button. Each loudspeaker can be switched on and off individually, and the SMC 7.1 remembers the last speakers used for each source. The Solo-In-Place function now turns the loudspeaker on/off switches into solo buttons. This allows each loudspeaker to be heard alone at its position. Solo-To-Center places the selected loudspeaker on the center speaker, so that it can be listened to exactly from the front in case critical listening is required. An alternative output is available for connecting a pair of stereo loudspeakers. The 45mm all-aluminium rotary knob moves an 8-level potentiometer. Mute is especially important when the DAW is sending full-range audio garbage due to a problem. Mute can be used quickly to protect speakers and hearing. As an alternative to the speakers, headphones can be used for monitoring. The headphones can be switched on and have their own volume control. The SMC 7.1 can be installed in the Expansion Rack to be screwed into a 19-inch rack. The Expansion Rack is equipped with a switch that can passively route the stereo output signal of the SMC 7.1 to four stereo outputs. In this combination, the SMC 7.1 is expanded by three additional stereo outputs. This allows a 7.1 loudspeaker array and full-range, mid and nearfield stereo speakers to be controlled and monitored. Specifications: Analog inputs & outputs; XLR & DB25 (balanced) Maximum input: 22 dBu Input impedance: 20 kΩ Output impedance: 100 Ω Frequency range (-3 dB): 10 Hz – 150 kHz THD +N (10 Hz – 22 kHz, 0 dBu): 0.001 % Noise (A-weighted): -93 dBu Crosstalk (1 kHz): -92 dB Common mode rejection (1 kHz): 82 dB Dynamic range: 115 dB Standard Headphones Output, 6.35 mm (1/4") TRS Jack Wiring: Tip = Left, Ring = Right, Sleeve = GND Frequency range (-3dB): 10 Hz – 80 kHz Crosstalk (1 kHz): -70 dBu Total harmonic distortion (0 dBu, 1 kHz, 40 kΩ load): 0.001 % Noise (A-weighted): -93 dBu Dynamic range: 115 dB Internal Linear Power Supply with Toroidal Transformer Operating voltage for analog audio: +/- 18 V Operating voltage for relays and LEDs: +12 V Mains Power Supply Mains voltage (selectable, see fuse chamber): 230 V AC / 50; 115 V AC / 60 Hz Sicherung für 230 V: T 500 mA Sicherung für 115 V: T 1 A Power consumption: max. 30 W Dimensions & Weight W x H x D (width x height x depth): 278 x 100 x 330 mm Unit weight: 4.1 kg Shipping weight (incl. packaging): 5 kg
A lot of preamps on the market do a good job of raising the volume of mics and instruments. Unfortunately, many pres are doing only that, raising volume. The “Super clean” designs of today often leave the signal exiting the preamp sounding much the same as it did entering it.The WA12 MKII is a completely discrete, high voltage, dual-transformer microphone preamplifier designed for high gain (+71dB), high headroom, low noise, and an exciting sonic performance – great for all types of recording applications. A high quality mic preamp is one of the most critical pieces needed to achieve the elusive ‘larger than life’ sound, and the WA12 MKII is more than capable of delivering. The WA12 MKII is based around a discrete op-amp, the X731, which is our own reproduction of the vintage classic Melcor 1731, considered by some to be the warmer predecessor to the modern 2520-style op-amp. The X731 can achieve vibrant, clean and lifelike tones; but can also be driven into mild saturation at much higher gain levels. The effects can be subtle, but very pleasing to the ear. The WA12 MKII can also accept any discrete op-amp on the market which conforms to the +/-16v, 2520 pinout standard. In this example, the WA12 MKII is being routed as an insert into a recording device. This is useful for using the WA12 as an “analog plug-in” or insert for mix-down. The recording device is feeding the WA12 with a balanced 1/4” cable via a line output. Then, the recording device is capturing the WA12 MKII via a LINE LEVEL input. Note: It is important to use a line level input on your recording device as opposed to a microphone or instrument level input.If you are looking for a preamp to improve and shape your signal you will most definitely love the WA12 MKII. The WA12 MKII is designed to transform plain instruments and vocals into exciting tone. If your mixes lack depth, struggle to sound alive, or are just missing that professional touch you’ve always wanted, there is a good chance you will love the WA12 MKII. Specifications: Utilizes premium grade input and output USA CineMag transformers. 71db of Gain, fully discrete signal path. Utilizes a discrete 6-pin socketed 1731 style opamp. Can be replaced with other 6-pin "2520 foot-print" opamps for varying tone/flavor. TONE button – Switches the input impedance from 600 ohms to 150 ohms. Changes the tone of both the mic and HI-Z inputs. 2 Meg Ohm True HI-Z input on front panel. Sends instrument signal through entire circuit including both Cinemag Transformers and the discrete opamp. Great for guitars, bass, keyboards and other instruments that have a 1/4″ output jack. Mic level balanced input: XLR. Balanced outputs: XLR and 1/4″/TRS. 48 volt Phantom Power. Output attenuation control (after the CineMag output transformer) allows for driving the preamp and transformers into saturation. LED Meter gain indication. 20db pad. External power plug.

INTRODUCING AN UPDATED AND UPGRADED '87 STYLE FET CONDENSER MICROPHONE WA-87 R2: Updated And Upgraded In 2016, we at Warm Audio introduced one of the most talked-about 87-style FET condenser microphones in the industry with the release of the WA-87, and at just $599 USD it made the looks and authentic vintage sonics of this style of mic affordable to customers for the very first time. Simply put, the release of the WA-87 changed the industry’s perception of what could be achieved at an affordable price. Based on classic 60s circuitry, the WA-87’s rich sound became a favorite of countless producers, engineers, and home recordists everywhere. It was our first microphone and a verifiable hit, and in recent years we’ve followed it with many other successful and ground-breaking designs. Since the release of the WA-87 in 2016 we’ve learned a bunch more about microphone manufacturing, and we’ve proven that we can shatter the industry’s quality expectations at affordable prices. That experience drove us to see if we could improve the WA-87 in tangible ways without having to raise the price, and the result is the new WA-87 R2 (Revision 2). We’ve used everything we’ve learned about recreating vintage microphones in the last five years to bring it even closer to the sound, vibe and performance of the original 60s classic we all know and love. We’re ecstatic to bring you the result – in short, the new WA-87 R2 is bigger, bolder and just plain better! A Faithful Reproduction With Top-Shelf Components The WA-87 is based on a classic 60s circuit that is widely considered to be one of the greatest studio microphones ever designed. We spent countless hours trying to get even closer to the sound of the vintage version than we had with the WA-87, so the new WA-87 R2 uses top-quality components like a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from Wima. The WA-87 R2 uses a custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer like the original WA-87 did, with the new version providing a slightly increased output level and improved frequency response. We also employed the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics. The result is an incredibly accurate sonic replica of arguably the widest-used studio microphone in popular recording history! The Most Versatile Mic In Your Locker Just like the vintage microphone, the WA-87 R2 excels at recording virtually anything. Three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure 8) make sure you’re covered for a wide variety of applications, and an 80Hz high pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics. The WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings, and more. Not only that, it’s the same price as the original WA-87, so you can afford to have several in your mic locker! Stunning In Sound And Appearance The WA-87 R2 is now encased in a heavier, stronger and larger nickel-plated brass body, and the new rounded head basket shape adds additional space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature. With authentic vintage warmth and a smooth detailed top end, we truly believe this mic performs on par with microphones costing five times as much or more. No matter what else you’ve got in your mic locker, the WA-87 R2 is sure to become one of your favorite go-to microphones!

Dual-Channel Microphone Preamplifier in 120V-Technology With the Crescendo duo, we are expanding our 120V microphone preamp portfolio with a dual-channel version of the Crescendo. The Undistortable Crescendo duo convinces with the same outstanding sound and technical features as the flagship of the product range – the eight-channel Crescendo. It is almost impossible to overdrive this microphone preamplifier. It shines with absolute signal fidelity and clarity and lets microphones appear in a whole new light – because they have never been amplified like this before. 48 V The phantom power required for the use of condenser microphones is activated with the 48V switch. VU -10 In the Crescendo duo, high gains can be used to optimally drive subsequent AD converters. Should the VU meter therefore deflect too far, you can reduce the displayed level by 10 dB. Ø Turn the polarity of a microphone signal 180° by activating the polarity reversal switch. HP A high-pass filter with 6 dB per octave reduces subsonic noise below 120 Hz. Mic Gain The gain is adjusted by a 12-step switch. The pre-amplification ranges from +18 dB to +70 dB. Output The switchable output control allows level adjustment to subsequent devices. The control range is +/- 10 dB. This results in a total gain of 80 dB. Pad For loud input signals (including line signals) the input sensitivity can be reduced by 20 dB. Built-in Output Splitter Both microphone preamps have dual outputs. The often needed splitter is therefore already built in. Record the microphone signal on a recording system and at the same time record it on a backup system.

Stereo Monitor Controller The 2Control is an excellent sounding compact monitor controller that perfectly controls your near-field and full-range monitors. It is equipped with our crossfeed control for headphone monitoring to create mixes on phones that translate on speakers. Inputs & Speakers The 2Control, which is analog throughout, allows the connection and selection of two stereo sources. These can be monitored via two stereo speaker sets and two headphones. A third mono output is used to connect a subwoofer or mono loudspeaker. The inputs are additive! The 2Control mixes the input signals together. The volume is controlled by a high quality potentiometer (ALPS RK27 “Big Blue”) with active control and a 45mm full aluminium rotary knob. The inputs are designed for balanced analog line-level signals. The input IN1 is calibrated to a nominal level of +4dBu. The sensitivity of input IN2 can also be adjusted to a nominal level of -10dBV – ideal for connecting consumer level CD/DVD players. Headphone outputs with Crossfeed The 2 Control is equipped with two active output stages for headphones, whose level can be individually adjusted. To be able to judge a mix via headphones, the super stereo effect, which affects the placement of voices and instruments in the stereo image and also reverb rooms and the generally exaggerated effects, must be corrected. This is done by the crossfeed control, thanks to which mixes created on headphones work just as well on speakers. Crossfeed is a part of our Phonitor Matrix. In its largest expansion stage it has three adjustment parameters: Crossfeed, Speaker Angle and Center Level. In the 2Control the Center Level is preset to -1 dB and the Speaker Angle to 30°.

The Return of a legend The new Foxy Tone Box from Warm Audio is a hyper-accurate recreation of one of the most sought-after and beloved fuzz pedals of all time - used in the early seventies by legendary tone masters Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, and in the present day by folks like Adrian Belew, Nine Inch Nails and Beck. Covered in thick velvet just like the vintage pedal, the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box faithfully recreates the vintage circuit and brings you the huge tone, octave-up sounds and look of the original…without having to pay crazy vintage prices! Serious Attention to Detail The specific components used in a pedal circuit are critical to the way that it sounds and reacts to your playing, so each Foxy Tone Box is assembled by hand using premium parts. We searched far and wide for a stash of the correct NOS (“New Old Stock”) Fairchild transistors used in the original—and then paired them with germanium diodes, high-watt carbon resistors, and film capacitors to bring the fury of the vintage pedal to the present day. It’s true bypass, and it sounds like nothing else on earth! fuzz it up Just like the original, the Foxy Tone Box features controls for Volume, Sustain, and Fuzz (from “Mellow” to “Brite”), along with a switch to engage the pronounced octave effect. From mellow and subdued crunch to all-out searing fuzz and everything in between, this pedal is a virtual library of dirt encased in orange velvet! To get started, keep the Octave switch off and roll the Fuzz to the “Mellow” side for warm, square-wave distortion. Then engage the Octave effect, crank the Fuzz to “Brite", and increase the Sustain for maxed-out, hyper-compressed tones that are barely hanging on for dear life! Electric guitar is the obvious application, but try it on synthesizers, drum machines, bass, acoustic/electric, and more. If you can plug a cable into it, the Foxy Tone Box can add character you just can’t get anywhere else.

Classic API Compression for the Modern Studio The API 2500+ Stereo Bus Compressor joins the company’s regular lineup, bringing all that formidable dynamics-shaping power to your rack in a sleek, space-saving 1U chassis. The API 2500+ model added a sophisticated Mix/Blend circuit to API’s venerable design coming form the anniversary edition. API’s flagship compressor delivers the inimitable sound of iconic API compression along with unparalleled parametric control. The result is an incredible-sounding, versatile, world-class stereo bus compressor capable of handling any audio production task. Meticulously designed to deliver a broad range of compression options and features not found on most compressors, the API 2500+ delivers warmth, clarity, and punch, whether used for nuanced dynamics control, brick-wall limiting, or anything in between. Parallel compression done right The Mix/Blend circuit found on the API 2500+ does a lot more than the simple wet/dry blend pot found on many modern compressors, giving you the option of either crossfading or parallel mixing of the compressed and uncompressed signals. First of all, the circuit can be hardwire relay bypassed entirely to deliver a purer signal than a standard blend pot simply maxed out to fully “wet” — a feature golden-eared engineers will appreciate. Next, when engaged and set to X (Cross), the Mix control lets you crossfade between fully uncompressed and fully compressed, literally increasing one while decreasing the other. In || (Parallel) mode, the MIX control effectively dials in your desired amount of compressed signal to blend in with the uncompressed signal, which remains constant. In case you’re wondering; trust us — these two active modes do sound and behave differently and you’ll quickly find uses for each. Equip Your Studio with Iconic API Compression If you’re after versatile compression, the API wrote the book. While the 2500+ is set up for stereo compression, you can also use it dual-mono. However you use it, though, you’ll have a range of compression styles to dial in — all highly musical, all incredibly usable. The 2500+ sports API’s patented Thrust circuit, a proprietary loudness contour that packs a powerful punch, imbuing each octave with the same energy (instead of half the energy as the next lowest one, as is the normal state of affairs).The Old/New Tone Type switch lets you choose between classic feedback and modern feed-forward compression styles. Whether you’re using it for drum stems, guitars, bass, vocals, or as a stereo bus compressor to pump up your mixes, the 2500+ delivers the iconic API analog sound and "slam factor" that has been relied on by recording engineers and heard on countless hits for a half century. Simply put: every serious studio needs the API 2500+. Incredibly versatile, highly musical When you choose API, you know you’re getting legendary sonic character. And with the API 2500+, you’ve got a range of character to choose from. To start, the 2500+ is equipped with API’s patented Thrust circuit before its RMS detector, which delivers punchy, old-school low end. There are also two types of compression onboard the API 2500+ — Old and New. The Old style uses the feedback type of compression in which the detector is placed after the VCA (as found on the classic API 525), while the New style uses a feed-forward type for a faster response typical of many popular modern compressors.The API 2500+ is stereo-ready, but sports a variable link between the left and right channels, so you can independently put the channels to work on your mono sources. Whatever way you use it, you’ll appreciate having API’s auto-makeup gain button on the output stage. It lets you vary the API 2500+’s threshold or ratio, while automatically maintaining a consistent output level. Sidechain input for creative ducking Every dynamics processor has a sidechain circuit that examines the signal and determines how much the VCA will reduce gain — but not every unit provides access to its sidechain. In compressors without a separate sidechain input, your main input signal is, essentially, compressing itself. With compressors that have a separate sidechain input — like the API 2500+ — you can introduce a different signal that determines the compression action on the main signal.An overt illustration of sidechaining is the “pumping” effect that’s popular in EDM production. A control signal — let’s say, a bass drum — is plugged into the sidechain input, triggering the detector and causing the main signal — a synth bass, in this example — to "duck," under each bass drum hit. This clears the way for maximum kick drum impact. Another classic use is for auto-ducking music under a voiceover, as in a radio commercial spot. Sidechaining can be used creatively in many ways, limited only by your imagination! API — the legendary American pro audio company No American pro audio company is more iconic than API. Launched in 1968 by Saul Walker, Automated Processes Inc. began building quality consoles for broadcast applications. Soon, the company’s products found favor with recording studios, and a string of industry-leading innovations (including the 500 Series module, the first VCA, computerized console automation, and more) followed. API produced the 2520 amplifier, one of the most famous op-amps in the recording industry, and their consoles and products found homes in such iconic studio facilities as the Hit Factory, Record Plant, Ocean Way, Sunset Sound, and many others.In fact, there are over 700 vintage API consoles around the globe — many of which are still in use. And the company certainly isn’t resting on its laurels; today’s API products give you the same unbeatable combination of utility, innovation, and great sound. That’s why, at Sweetwater, the name API commands reverence.

Powerful and versatile bass synthesis with a sound source based around a vacuum tube oscillator. Even today, when digital technology allows electronic musical instruments to simulate any sound imaginable, the warm harmonics and distortion produced by analog vacuum tubes is still sought after. This distinctive sound has a quality beyond words that sets it apart, and cannot be captured by a response curve; it's the unmistakable sound of tubes. The volca nubass is the first analog synth to be equipped with a Nutube new-generation vacuum tube in its oscillator circuit. By incorporating a vacuum tube, nubass produces a warm, thick, and rich sound, unlike any digital or transistor-based synthesizer. The familiar transistor ladder filter along with overdrive, and huge-sounding distortion, gives it the unmistakable character of a classic bass machine. Coupled with an LFO with flexible routing and sync, nubass also provides numerous possibilities for a new generation of music. A truly unique bass machine for both classic and new sounds, with the power of modern synthesizer design. It's the volca nubass.

Direct DriveHiFi Turntable System With TURN5 Reloop HiFi is launching a quartz-controlled, direct-drive turntable that meets the highest sound requirements. Using our expertise we have developed a new HiFi turntable, which with its technical sophistication is the best in its class. Powerful DC motor &low-resonance die-cast platter The brushless, direct-drive DC motor ensures a powerful drive at a very consistent rotation and the TURN5 has been produced using die-cast precision manufacturing techniques. A dampening rubber base on the turntable system eliminates any unwanted resonance and the accompanying 5 mm rubber coating also protects against vibrations so that nothing stands in the way of the exceptional sound reproduction. High-quality control elements & connections The three motor speeds can be selected with convenient controls on the top to 33 1/3, 45 or 78 rpm. This means the TURN5 can also play back old shellac records with a corresponding mono-system (not included). Next to this is the large start/stop knob. The universal locking mechanism (SME) on the tonearm allows for a quick and easy headshell exchange. Also, with the supplied counterweight a whole range of cartridges can be used as this also supports heavier pick-ups. On the rear panel of the TURN5 is a gold-plated phono output pair (RCA) with a separate earth connection to prevent any potential interference. The terminal for all cable connections has been recessed to protect them as much as possible. For a simple exchange, the power cable and the RCA cable can be removed. Static balanced S-tone arm & Hi-tech Ortofoncartridge system The TURN5 uses a statically balanced S-shape tone arm. This is supplied, along with the hydraulic lift and an anti-skating setting, with a convenient tone arm height adjustment with locking VTA. This guarantees optimum performance of the cartridge and an accurate reproduction of the recording medium. The supplied Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is already pre-mounted on a headshell and stands out thanks to its elliptical cut with phenomenal sound quality. Elegant design in a particularly heavy-duty construction The housing is built on a heavy-duty metal construction with shock-absorbing feet in order to isolate unwanted vibrations as much as possible and reduce ambient noise. The combination of several materials provides additional stiffness to the housing. With its deep black piano finish, visually the TURN5 is elegant and timeless. The gold-plated turntable hovers harmoniously above the cover plate and focuses the view on the important thing – the record.

Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge A high-end model featuring a MicroLine™ stylus in an aluminium die-cast alloy body. In addition to outstanding high-frequency reproduction, this model enables clear sound image localisation. Aluminium tapered cantilever Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency Centre shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk Die-cast aluminium alloy housing reduces vibration and adds a natural electrical shield Audio-Technica’s internationally-patented Dual Magnet design replicates the structure of the cutter head. Instead of using a single, large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in the shape of a "V". The two magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the left and right channels in the stereo groove walls. Consequently, the VM design ensures outstanding channel separation, extended frequency response and superb tracking. Para-toroidal generating system Para-toroidal coils improve generating efficiency and offer superb linearity since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low. Permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores.

The Telefunken ELA M 250/251 was made for Telefunken by AKG after Neumann discontinued its OEM production of the Telefunken U-47. The Golden Age Premier GA-251 is inspired by this truly classic mic model. The GA-251 shares the same design goal that was set for the GA-47: to offer the classic qualities and advantages that a vintage unit in perfect condition would provide and doing so at a very low price point. Having gone through a number of prototypes that was compared to great sounding vintage units in different recording settings, everyone involved agreed that the goal was reached. The coupling capacitor is made by Solen from France. It is a high balanced film capacitor made from MKP material with pure oxygen-free copper connections. It has a very delicate and balanced sound.The capsule capacitor uses NOS Siemensantique grade polystyrene capacitor to reduce loss.The tube cathode bypass capacitor uses an ELNA OFC Cerafine high end hifi capacitor from Japan with oxygen free copper connections exhibiting a very sweet and delicate character, not the least for vocals.The other capacitors are of the low loss polystyrene type.The resistor used for setting the capsule voltage is a high quality DALE 1% metal film resistor. The result is a very stable and consistent operating level leading to better consistency between different GA-251 units. The plate resistor uses a non-inductive resistor of the United States IRC audio with pure copper connections. The sound level is rich and full bodied. The GA-251 uses a 34 mm K251 style capsule. Being a dual-sided one, it provides both cardioid and omni polar patterns.In order to get a good consistency between units, for each production run of 50 pcs GA-251 units, approximately 200 capsules is evaluatedin order to find 50 capsules with specifications that lie within the tight tolerances. The sensitivity of the front and back side of the capsule do not differ more than 0,3 dB. The sensitivity between different capsules do not differ more than 0,5 dB.The tight manufacturing tolerance will lead to a very good consistency between different GA-251 units.The capsule is specially designed to complement the electronic circuit of the GA-251 to achieve a frequency response curve with a nice balance between the high, middle and low frequencies. The result is a very smooth sound with a warm bottom and airy top end just like ELA M251. The vintage style power supply PSU uses a high power R-style transformer with a low noise level and minimum stray field.A simple but effective circuit uses dual-stage filtering for the filament voltage. The High voltage is also precisely filtered and stabilized using an ON semiconductor zener diode. The polar pattern switch is placed on the power supply so that the recording engineer can change the polar pattern between Cardioid and Omni remotely. A ground lift switch will help to solve mains power related noise issues that can appear in some cases.
The PRE-573 PREMIER is a one-channel vintage style microphone, line and instrument preamplifier. The signal path uses only discrete components like resistors, capacitors and transistors. The microphone and line input and the line output are transformer balanced, using two different transformers, each one optimized for its purpose. This is the way audio components were built before integrated circuits became available. The subjective sound quality delivered by vintage equipment is often prefered to the one delivered by modern units, a situation that is even more obvious now when music is recorded with clean sounding digital audio equipment. The circuit used in the PRE-573 PREMIER is similar to the preamp section in the classical 1073 module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making it available to nearly everyone. Vintage Style electronics. No integrated circuits in the signal path.UK-made Carnhill in- and output transformer. The output is balanced and fully floating and can drive a 600 ohm load up to level of about 28 dBu. Maximum gain in MIC mode is 80 dB, enough to handle passive ribbon mics with quiet sound sources. The total gain range goes from -10 to +80 dB. The 20 to 70 dB range (in MIC mode) is handled by a turn switch and a toggle switch selects an additional 5 or 10 dB gain. Switchable impedance on the mic input, 1200 or 300 ohms, will change the tone of many mics. The input can be configured to accept line level signals by another switch, the level is then lowered by about 30 dB and the input impedance increased to about 10 kohm. A selectable two-position 6 dB / octave highpass filter with fres of about 45 or 180 Hz. A flexible front panel instrument input for electric guitar or bass that can be switched between a high impedance active or a mid-Z passive mode. These two DI-options makes it possible to get different tones from instruments. Mains connected sound modules or other signal sources should be connected to the MIC/LINE input of the 500-rack, unless they have a fully floating, transformer balanced output stage.The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage(s) for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.Insert jack for inserting Golden Age Project and Premier 500 Series eq and effect units. The insert is activated by removing a jumper at the back of the module. A soft start circuit that ramps up the supply voltage slowly (~10 sec.) to avoid a power-on current surge.Phase switch and switchable phantom power with a LED indicator. Selectable AIR equalizer adds a boost of about 6 dB centered at 30 kHz. A simple but effective signal and overload indicator is offered by a single LED that starts glowing red at about +4 dBu and then increases its intensity up to the maximum output level. Tantalum and polystyrene capacitors used in the traditional positions. The 6.8 kohm phantom power resistors are matched to within 0.1% to maintain good common-mode rejection in the circuit. Selectable 600 ohm output termination at the back of the module. Circuit board star grounding scheme. A solid build quality that will last many years of normal use.

Whether digital or analogue, enjoy the most musical sound from any source. Fully Discrete Current Feedback Power Amplifier with HDAM-S3 Current Feedback amplification, a renowned Marantz-proprietary circuit technology, is thoughtfully designed to match the requirements of high resolution music for wide-bandwidth and high-speed audio reproduction. The impedance at the Current Feedback point is minimized, generating a very low ground potential. Marantz Current Feedback amplifiers reduce the need for phase compensation by minimizing Negative Feedback (NFB). This simplifies the signal path and results in a high through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency across the full bandwidth. Unlike conventional Voltage Feedback topology, Current Feedback renders the power amplifier nearly immune to difficult loudspeaker loads. Marantz HDAM-SA3 Technology Marantz developed its own discrete circuit boards called Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Modules, or HDAMs, to replace the chip-based amps used elsewhere. Using discrete surface mount components with short mirror-image left and right signal paths, HDAMs outperform the regular integrated Op-amps dramatically in Slew Rate and noise level. The result is much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound. Over the years, Marantz developed different HDAMs to fit the particular requirements of each player and amplifier. The PM7000N uses the high-grade SA3 version. High-Grade Sound Parts Marantz has a steadfast reputation for choosing the best-possible components for its Hi-Fi products, and the PM7000N is built with that same performance-first Hi-Fi approach. Marantz engineers selected and optimized the PM7000N through extensive listening in dedicated Marantz facilities in Europe and Japan using Hi-Fi tuned sound parts. Wide Range of Connectivity The PM7000N is equipped with 4 analogue inputs and one analogue output, plus a high quality Phone MM equalizer and features one coaxial and two optical digital inputs, along with a USB-A input for high resolution audio files.

Listen to your music via the rear panel USB port or over network sources. Improved Integrated Phono Input For a long time, Marantz integrated amplifiers have featured high-quality phono stages. The PM7000N remains faithful to that legacy while also introducing a new design — one that integrates a FET (field-effect transistors) in the input stage. This provides high input impedance, eliminates the need for AC coupling capacitors and simplifies the signal path, lowering distortion and noise vastly improving the signal purity overall. Subwoofer Output Supports an optional external subwoofer with adjustable low pass crossover for low-frequency bass response within your listening environment. Enjoy accurate bass with no audible peaks or dips, no matter where you place your subwoofer. High Quality, Original Marantz SPKT-1+ Speaker Terminals The speaker terminals of the PM7000N are made of dense brass with a thick silver plating to provide best possible contact with speaker cables. Toroidal Transformer A Toroidal transformer offers several advantages that derive from its efficiency and power capability. The shape of it lends to low levels of electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibration, producing improved sound quality over what you might experience with dated transformer models. Separate Power Supply for Stand-by In order to reduce power consumption in stand-by, the PM7000N features dual separate power supply circuits. While in standby the digital SMPS power supply is active so the network can wake up the PM7000N. When switching to operation mode, the SMPS power is switched off and the toroidal transformer is activated to supply the necessary high-current to reproduce the Marantz sonic signature.
