Sound Techniques Jude Microphone Preamp

Description

The Jude preamp is an official collaboration between Sound Techniques and Warm Audio, featuring the original “A-Range” console preamp circuit used in the first custom consoles at London’s legendary Trident Studios. Designed by Geoff Frost and built directly from the original Sound Techniques console preamp schematics, the Jude preamp preserves the complete signal path, including the dual-discrete 3035 Class-A amplifier, original Z-Match tone impedance circuit, handwired construction, and custom-spec CineMag transformers. The same console design helped shape classic recordings by The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, and countless others. Jude delivers the authentic Sound Techniques console circuit that defined an era of recording history. • Single-Channel, Dual-Discrete Console Microphone Preamp • Variable Input Gain Based On Z-Match Impedance Setting • Preamp Gain: 65 – 76dB [40?
