Fredenstein V.A.S. MicPre Desktop Microphone Preamp

Top of the line single-channel standalone, desktop microphone preamp with an OPA2 discrete amplifier and matched dual input transistors
MFR# VAS Mic-Pre

Product Description

The Fredenstein V.A.S. MicPre is a convenient desktop mic preamp combined with a high-quality headphone amp. An unbalanced insert for compressors and EQ is also provided.

V.A.S stands for Vintage Analog Sound. It features a powerful discrete Fredenstein OPA2 and an American steel core output transformer to achieve that familiar color. It has been described as smooth without being dark, harsh or just “mid-rangy”. The V.A.S. MicPre is also very quiet which may be a departure from some old designs.

The features include an input gain control (15 - 65 dB), Output Level Control, a 20 dB pad, switchable polarity, selectable input impedance, switchable low cut filter, and phantom power support. Metering is provided with a 50 dB range, 8 LED peak display. The combination of input gain and output gain controls allows you to creatively add some “drive” to the sound by turning the input up and the output down, or you can keep it clean and clear.

The balanced input and the balanced output are available on XLR and TRS connectors. With the optional rack mount kit, two V.A.S. devices can be mounted together to form a 19 inch 1U enclosure. For easy touring and recording around the world, the V.A.S. MicPre has a built-in universal power supply ranging from 90 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, as well as being solid and well built using quality components. The V.A.S. MicPre has proven to be very reliable indeed.

As all Fredenstein products, the V.A.S. MicPre is designed by a German-American team and manufactured in Taiwan.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
