Pre One is equipped with two preamplifiers. These have a discrete design and they are tuned for an open and transparent sound characteristic. In addition to the microphone input, the second preamplifier also features a Hi-Z instrument input – so instruments like electric guitars, for example, can benefit from the sound of the Pre One. In terms of technology and sound, the preamps have the same characteristics as those in the SPL Channel One Mk3!
The gain control can be used to adjust the preamplification. The control range ranges between +8 dB and +62 dB – so even really demanding microphones can unfold their full potential! (The green signal LED indicates that a signal is present.)
The preamplifier 2 of the Pre One also features an ultra low-noise Hi-Z instrument input – so instruments with a Hi-Z signal, such as electric guitars, electric basses or various synthesizers, can also benefit from the sound of the Pre One. If an instrument is plugged into the instrument input, mic input 2 is deactivated.
