GainStation
8
Model 2383
Eight channel microphone and instrument preamplifier
Increase your track power eightfold in only 2U—Thanks to exceptional headroom throughout its design and the superb signal regulation of its limters, the GainStation8 is the perfect front end for multi-track recordings or AD converters.
Nowadays
typical preamps are designed on an either-or basis — either solid
state or tube. With these designs the engineer has a non integrated
and thus often frustrating choice between a pure, neutral solid state
recording or one unavoidably influenced by tubes. While the engineer
may find solutions for one application with one microphone, a preamplifier
for different situations, mics and instruments must provide a commensurate
range of choices—like the GainStation preamps. A combination
of 63dB solid state and an independently controllable 26dB tube
circuitry (which can also be deactivated) ensures a complete sound
palette panorama. In any situation the engineer now can achieve his
goals with one front end for best-of-both-worlds results.
-
Separated Solid state and tube preamps. The tube preamp can be used additionally to the solid state stage to add tube saturations, for clean recordings it can be switched off.
-
Peak/FET Limiter
-
Switchable Mic Input Impedance (200 Ohms, 1,2 & 10 kOhms)
-
Custom-designed and built, fully discrete, class A op-amps (no off-the-shelf stuff here). The GainStation's op-amps feature 60-Volt operating voltage—twice as high as most common op-amps—for an incredible dynamic range.
-
All switching functions are handled by encapsulated relays with gold-plated contacts.
-
A no-compromise power supply with extensive additional shielding and seven separately wound and regulated voltages
-
Lundahl input transforner option, also for single channels or channel pairs
