Sweeten your source before it hits your DAW with this killer channel strip! Inspired by the Neve 1073 mic preamp, the 7602 gives you that huge-sounding EQ.

The Chamelon Labs 7602 MKII mic preamp delivers on the promise of classic analogue with a pureness and clarity that is completely audible. It follows the traditional approach of implementing transformers on the inputs and outputs and subscribes to a celebrated benchmark electronic topology which ensures that audio quality is never compromised.

The microphone input section is designed for dynamic or condenser microphones requiring 48V phantom power. A selectable low or high input impedance setting allows you to more closely balance the mic input's gain structure with your microphone of choice. The operational amplifier used for this circuit is a completely discrete design using the classic Fairchild transistor and providing up to 80dB of gain for the input. The line input is powered by the same discrete circuit and a Swiss made level control knob controls both the mic and line levels. A low impedance Direct Input connector on the front panel provides direct connection of a musical instrument.

The 7602 uses wound core inductors as part of its electronic equalization circuit to provide precise, transparent audio performance for it's for high pass, low, mid and high frequency band pass adjustments. This section is also a faithful reproduction of the classic eq section found in the deeply satisfying circuits of the past.

The output section implements a discrete operational amplifier driving a gaped output transformer. The relationship between these two elements has been carefully… read more optimized to provide a gain structure that will allow you to explore the output limits of the 7602 without harshness and with complete analogue smoothness.

Man, this thing is dynamite. You can really dial in your tone and sound on anything early and make life easier in the mix stage. Patch this with an 1176 and you have rock and roll heaven! And this is the stock specs, not even modded! Im interested to see what a modded one of these can do. A perfect front end option!
