Product Description

The LaChapell Audio 983S MK2 is an update to the popular 983S. Featuring the same great tube sound that LaChapell is known for, the new 983S MK2 also features True48, a dynamic phantom power supply that provides a constant 48 V to microphones. Standard phantom power will fluctuate as microphones come under greater load, but True48 stays steady giving your microphones increased headroom and smoother performance. It also reduces intermodulation distortion caused by less robust power supplies.

The 983S MK2 has two channels of tube amplification with a 12AX7 tube. Front panel dual drive knobs and pad switch work together to provide a huge array of sonic capabilities from clean to gritty.

Features:

  • 2x 12AX7 vacuum tubes
  • TRUE48 dynamic phantom power
  • Cinemag input and Jensen output transformers
  • Hi-Z input on front panel with auto switching
  • Dual gain knobs for extreme flexibility and control
  • Switchable High and Low pass filters
  • Phase, pad, mute and True48 48 V switches

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.
Phil T.
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.

Thank you so much! Vintage King has been so fair and easy to work with. I can't thank you enough. It feels good to trust such a hefty purchase to folks who are so helpful and knowledgeable. Vintage King is a sound designers dream store.

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.
Rob M.
Thanks for your great service and getting this out today. You guys really are the Kings!
