Hi,

we will be shortly releasing our newest product - MIP-5A microphone preamplifier.

Here's the description:
The MIP-5A is a microphone amplifier with fully discrete (no IC's) class A amplification (35 to 65dB in 3dB steps) and transformer-balanced input and output using high quality transformers.

It features input pad (-20dB) and output pad (-6dB), first-order high-pass filter (75Hz), phase reverse, phantom power and a unique WOOL function which increases the second harmonic and makes the overload characteristics very gentle by removing the feedback around the main gain stage.

When the WOOL button is out the tone is clean and wide-band with more abrupt overload resulting in brighter tone. Pushing the button in changes the character to more old-style and tube-like.
The distortion is then smoother and darker in tone.

The MIP-5A is not a clone or copy of any other design.

Nice! Looking good. I like that minimalistic design I bet it also sounds great as anything else from Amtec ;-)
