Description

SPL Station 1 is a discrete preamplifier that combines clean Class A gain with tube gain and operates at a supply voltage of 60 V.

GainStation 1 is a hybrid preamplifier consisting of a discrete Class A transistor stage and a tube stage. The hybrid preamplifier design combines the advantages of semiconductors (high dynamics, low distortion, low noise) with the musical quality of tube sounds (pleasant treble / harmonics, beautiful three-dimensionality).

The Class A transistor preamplifier is based on our DMPA operational amplifier, which has an operating voltage of +/- 30V. The preamplifier features a Butterworth high-pass filter, polarity reversal, impedance selection, 48V phantom power, and a limiter.

It offers the following special features:

Individually controllable tube and transistor preamplifiers
The tube stage (switchable) offers subtle to brutal tube saturation
Only high-quality MKP film capacitors are used in the tube stage
Peak / FET limiter
Polarity reversal stage
48-volt phantom power
LED level indicator
Switchable impedance adjustment for the microphone input (200 Ω, 1.2 kΩ, and 10 kΩ)
Discrete Class A operational amplifiers instead of industrial integrated circuits
Amplifier response speed
