The 652

Vacuum Tube Preamplifier

652

Introducing the stereo vacuum tube preamplifier with mic/line-level inputs; the 652!

Using the GAIN control, the engineer can achieve 5 - 60 dB of gain from the uniquely-biased tube input stage, followed by a MASTER attenuation control in the output buffer stage. Want a clean yet musical replication of the source? How about the creamy saturation of an esoteric vintage preamplifier?

The 652's gentle drive characteristics allows for a broad tonal palette depending on how hard you hit it with signal. It is designed to interface with all types of microphones (including ribbons), and the line-level input pad allows you to add analogue warmth to any track from a digital audio workstation; making it an indispensable tool for adding colouration and harmonic distortion!

Two flavours, one box, all discrete, and proudly hand-crafted in Canada.

    • The Mass-DI

    Mass Direct Interface

    Mass-DI

    The active Mass-DI features discrete JFET/BJT circuitry with a custom designed “mu-metal wrapped” Lundahl transformer, giving the source a natural sound with a fast and punchy transient response. 

    Each unit is handcrafted with care using the highest quality components available. It’s designed for use with ¼” unbalanced instruments (including those with piezoelectric transducers) and line level sources, with a balanced XLR microphone level output. It can also be used between an amplifier and speaker to sample amp tone directly!

    Simple, elegant, responsive, and proudly hand-crafted in Canada. 

    FEATURES:

  • Hand-assembled, hand-soldered, fully discrete
  • JFET/BJT Class-A biased circuitry
  • Custom Lundahl transformer (double mu-metal wrapped)
  • 18ga steel chassis is solid, industrial and tough
  • 10 MΩ input impedance (220 KΩ with PAD)
  • Neutrik ¼” jacks and XLR receptacle
  • No ground lift switch (internal ground loop suppression)
  • LED and PAD switch are recessed to minimize drop damage
  • Can be used between an amplifier and speaker to directly capture amp tone
  • Huge headroom - can take unbalanced line-level signals (up to 245 volts P-P with pad)
  • 2-Year Limited Warranty
