Sound Techniques Stereo Jude Microphone Preamp

Description

The stereo Jude preamp is an official collaboration between Sound Techniques and Warm Audio, featuring original “A-Range” console preamp circuits 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 dual-discrete 3035 Class-A amplifiers, original Z-Match tone impedance circuits, 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 an authentic stereo Sound Techniques console circuit that defined an era of recording history. • Dual-Channel, Dual-Discrete Console Microphone Preamp • Variable Input Gain Based On Z-Match Impedance Setting • Preamp Gain Per-Channel: 65 – 76dB [40 Source Impedance] • Custom-Wound, 3-Impedance CineMag Input Transformers • Custom-Wound, High-Purity Nickel CineMag Output Transformers • Variable Mic Input Impedance: 60 ¦ 200 ¦ 1.5K • Nichicon Audio Grade & Wima Capacitors • 48v Phantom Power ¦ Polarity Switch ¦ Line-Level Switch • Inputs: XLR Mic ¦ TS/TRS 1/4″ • Outputs: XLR / 1/4″ TRS Line-Level
