The X-12 mk500 Mic Preamp delivers a big, aggressive, mid-forward sound, reminiscent of that 70's L.A. Sound. A USA made Mic Input Transformer adds the right sonic flavor to your recording and a custom USA-made Output Transformer takes care of balancing the beefy outputs, and also adding it's own sonic signature.
This preamp is perfect for rock, and aggressive music! The smooth high-end response of this preamp also makes it a great multi-purpose preamp, excellent for use in other sources like vocals where it delivers the right amount of "angst" and rawness to your vocals. Bring back the golden age of rock with the X12 preamp!
