The 32Cpre+ delivers +20 to +70 dB of smooth gain capable of driving a wide range of mic types, including ribbon. In addition to 180 - Phase, 48V, -20 pad, and HiZ impedance switches, the front panel features combo XLR with a 1/4" jack connector that lets you plug a microphone or instrument into the 32Cpre+ directly without having to access the rear panel of the 500 Series rack.

Features:

- The sound of Harrison
- Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled mic-pre
- +20 to +70 dB of gain
- HP and LP Filters with characterful 3 dB resonant peak
- Front-mounted combo XLR with -" jack connector
- 48V phantom power switch
- Polarity reverse switch
- HiZ impedance switch
- Input overload LED
- Compatible with 500 Series format chassis
- The 48v switch activates phantom power to the rear and front XLR connectors.
- The -20 switch applies a 20dB pad to the input signal just prior to the preamp gain.
- The INPUT led, meters the input level with a bi-color signal-present LED indicating activity and clipping of the module source.

The Harrison Tone
The 32Cpre+ delivers the warm, rich tone that Harrison is renowned for. Expect full low-end, open mid-range, and super-smooth, natural highs from this Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled mic pre. The gentle roll-off at each end of the frequency spectrum and delicate phase shift created by the 1:1 ratio transformer produce a mic pre that sounds so sweet you'll use it on any source material.

Legendary Harrison Filters
A Harrison mic pre… read more wouldn't be complete without Harrison's legendary filters. As found in the original 3232 and latest 32Classic console, the filters have a musical 12dB/octave slope, with the High Pass Filter featuring a characterful 3 dB resonant peak. The High Pass Filter range is 25 Hz-3.1 KHz, and the Low Pass Filter range is 160 Hz-20 KHz.

HP and LP Filters
The classic 32Cpre+ filters are switched into the signal path with the IN button. These filters have 12dB/octave slope with the 3 dB corner frequency.
- High Pass Filter: corner frequency range 25 Hz - 3.1 KHz
- Low Pass Filter: corner frequency range 160 Hz - 20 KHz

Note: The frequency ranges of the filters overlap considerably, as on Harrison's original 32C console. It is thus possible to adjust the controls such that no signal passes through. Control room pranksters have been delighted by this feature for more than 4 decades.

Transformer Preamp
The 32Cpre+ sports a classic transformer coupled mic preamplifier. This time-tested preamp design has been used in professional studios for the past 50 years. The preamp provides +20 to +70 dB of smooth gain with the -20 (Pad) switch not selected.

Front Panel Combo Connector
The combo XLR with 1/4" jack connector lets you plug a microphone or instrument into the 32Cpre+ directly without having to access the rear panel of the 500 rack. This allows your main input source to be connected at all times while being able to quickly connect an alternate input such as another microphone choice or an instrument.
- The HiZ switch selects the unbalanced 1/4" instrument input as the alternate source for the module.
- The XLR switch selects the alternate balanced front panel XLR connector as the input source.
