Preamps & Processors

Preamps and processors shape a signal before it is recorded or mixed. A microphone preamp raises the microphone's tiny signal to line level with as little noise as possible, and its design gives anything from clean transparency to rich colour. Channel strips combine a preamp with EQ and compression, and dedicated processors add equalisation, dynamics and tone shaping.

This category covers single and multichannel microphone preamps, tube and solid-state designs, channel strips, phono preamps, DI and instrument preamps, 500 Series modules and mastering processors.

Types of preamps and processors

Clean and coloured microphone preamps
Multichannel preamps with digital outputs
Tube preamps and channel strips
Phono and instrument preamps

Preamps & Processors: questions and answers

Why use an external microphone preamp?

An external preamp can offer lower noise, more gain, a particular sonic character or extra features compared with the preamps built into an interface.

What is a channel strip?

A channel strip combines a microphone preamp with processing such as EQ and compression in one unit.

What is a phono preamp?

A phono preamp raises the low-level signal of a turntable cartridge to line level and applies the RIAA equalisation required for vinyl playback.
