Electrical Audio releases the EApreq500

The EApreq500 features a Lundahl microphone input transformer and High and Low shelf boost EQs packed into the 500 series format

The EApreq500.

The EApreq500 is the 500-series version of our EAPreQ, the 2-channel rackmount preamp and EQ that we've been building since 2011. Born out of a desire to add an original, versatile, transformer-based preamp to our arsenal, it has been in constant use here at Electrical Audio and many other studios worldwide. It is a microphone preamp with two-band equalizer that is dead-simple to use. Sonically, it features the subtle character of its input transformer with very little amplifier noise or distortion. The equalizer section offers separate high- and low-shelf boosts to broadly and quickly supplement bass and/or treble as needed.

A design premium was placed on long-term reliability, ease of use, and flexible application. Each unit performs identically to ensure accurate level-matching with quick and easy recallability across multiple channels.

Every preamp is hand-built by the Electrical Audio crew here in Chicago, IL.

The BasicsLundahl’s best microphone input transformer
-20dB input pad switch - sealed gold contact relay
Polarity reverse switch - sealed gold contact relay across the output for quietest operation
48v phantom power switch - standard application
16-position, gold contact rotary gain switch, ranging from 20 to 65 dB of gain, with 3 dB per step
Low and high-frequency shelf boost EQ - Controlled with a solid multi-section gold contact switch, with 5 gain positions. A sealed relay bypasses the EQ circuit when not in use.
DC servo for both preamp gain and shelf EQ make-up gain amplifiers. This ensures long-term predictable operation and sound quality, avoiding the gradual decline associated with electrolytic capacitor-coupled circuitry
Ground-sensing solid-state balanced output amplifier, capable of driving 600Ω loads with ease, balanced or unbalanced
Clear green LEDs indicating which shelf band is engaged.
Bright, amber colored "peak" LED signal just before clipping.

MSRP - $900.00 USD
