Description

The essentials to know about the half-rack preamp/DI box

  • Low-noise Class-A preamp with variable gain up to +30 dB for a clean and musical signal.
  • Versatile DI with speaker-level input and selectable line or mic level outputs.
  • Fast sound shaping thanks to 6 built-in tone presets and a high-pass filter.
  • Direct monitoring via headphone output and half-rack 9.5" - 2U format ready for studio and stage.

A modern tool inspired by studio standards

Designed in the spirit of top studio preamps, this device condenses the essentials into a robust half-rack format. It offers the transparency and musicality of a Class-A topology, while adding a DI section and color options to cover many recording and live situations.

For musicians, creators, and engineers who want to work fast

Ideal for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, and content creators, it simplifies capturing a clean or already "shaped" instrument signal. In front of your audio interface, on stage before a console, or in post-production to recolor a take, it integrates seamlessly and speeds up the workflow.

Features designed for versatility

Musical and quiet Class-A preamp

The pure Class-A preamp provides a smooth and detailed gain boost up to +30 dB, with a low noise floor to preserve transients and dynamics. You get a solid sonic foundation, ready to be converted or sent to a console.

Complete DI with speaker-level input

The direct box section accepts your instruments and offers a speaker-level input to capture the character of an amp directly at the source. The line or mic level outputs facilitate adaptation to any environment, from home studios to broadcast stages.

Instant colors and treble control

The 6 tone presets provide ready-to-use sonic signatures, from defined clarity to warmer hues. The high-pass filter softens high frequencies and tames sibilance or "fizz" from amplified instruments.

Direct monitoring and compact format

The headphone output allows immediate listening without additional equipment. The half-rack 9.5" - 2U chassis easily fits into a mobile rig or rack alongside your interface, compressor, or favorite processor.
