About Preamps

Pairing the right preamp with the right microphone is key to getting the best recording possible. Preamps can dramatically shape your sound. For many years, engineers were limited to the preamps built directly into their large format console. Today, there are plenty of preamps on the market that come in all shapes and sizes. Vintage King offers everything from single-channel preamps to 32-channel preamps and more. From standard rack-mount preamps to 500 series and desktop modules, Vintage King has the right preamp for your needs. For home studio or production use, a single-channel preamp or dual-channel preamp might be the way to go. For a larger studio setup, you can look into the multichannel preamps to record drums or a full band. Some preamps feature a variety of outputs including analog, digital, ADAT, and more to make connecting your preamp easy. No matter what sound you're looking for, Vintage King has the right preamp for you at any budget.

Preamps FAQs

What is a microphone preamp, and why do I need one?

A microphone preamp is used to amplify the low-level signal from a microphone to a line-level signal suitable for recording or processing. Microphone preamps are an essential part of your signal chain. A quality preamp can ensure optimal signal quality, improve signal-to-noise ratio, and offer utility functions like phase reversal or phantom power for condenser microphones. Each preamp will impart its own “flavor” or “color” to your sound, which is why it’s important to try many combinations of microphones and preamps to find the best sound for your source.

What features should I look for when choosing a microphone preamp?

When selecting a microphone preamp, consider factors such as preamp type (tube, solid-state, or hybrid), number of channels, gain range, impedance options, built-in EQ or compression, and connectivity options. Additionally, read reviews and consult with your Vintage King sales consultant to ensure the preamp meets your specific recording needs and budget.

Getting Started w/ Preamps

With so many different microphone preamps on the market, it can be hard to know which preamp is right for your needs. When shopping for a new mic preamp, it’s important to know what you plan on recording with it. When recording a vocal, you might want to go with a tube preamp such as the Universal Audio 6176, or the Manley VoxBox. Tube preamps tend to be much softer sounding when in the sweet spot, or you can drive them to get a pleasant-sounding tube overdrive, often heard on classic rock and Motown records. When recording drums or guitars, you may want to go with a solid-state preamp like the API 312, or Neve 1073. These style preamps are typically much clearer sounding than a tube pre and have more focus in the midrange frequencies.
