General

Modern music productions rely on digital systems for recording and the final mix, but digital does not sound the same as analogue. That's why it's important to ensure that your input signal is open and transparent.

The Gain is equipped with a Lundahl transformer, which gives the Gain station more dynamics, a better frequency response and a higher input signal. The dual-wound transformers are both isolated, magnetically separated, and enclosed inside a metal housing.

The Gain station 1 is a Class-A mono preamp that's suitable for instruments and microphones. The balanced XLR input has an impedance of 200 Ohms. This preamp operates on a voltage that's twice as big as a conventional preamp, which means the dynamic range is enormous.

SPL Gain Station 1 Premium Mono Valve Preamp with Lundahl Transformer
Wrote the following about SPL Gain Station 1 Premium Mono Valve Preamp with Lundahl Transformer
Geweldige preamp! De combinatie van de 'gewone' en de 'tube' gain, maakt dat je met deze preamp echt je eigen klank kan gaan bepalen. Ik gebruik deze in combinatie met een Neumann TLP 103 en een Rode NT1-A als preamp voor stemopnames (VO) en daar is ie prima voor. Nette klank, voor alle mogelijke toepassingen, van multimedia over televisie naar radio. Prima ding!

Radial Introduces the McBoost Preamp for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones

Wednesday 11 November 2015 By Lizanne

It's a common occurrence in the studio or during live performances - you make a recording, but the signal is low, the fader on your console is on max and you're out of headroom. The signal is simply too weak and starts to distort when you try to amplify it with a compressor or gain plugin. Radial comes to the rescue with the McBoost - a microphone preamplifier that will add up to 25 dB to the incoming signal, ideal for consoles or audio interfaces that need a little extra oomph!
