Peach Audio Cube5 Ultra Low Noise DI/Preamplifier (Demo Deal)

The Peach Audio Cube5 is the ultimate in low noise compact preamplification. Featuring noise performance characteristic of top-of-the-line full featured studio microphone preamps normally available at premium price brackets, the Cube5 will transform any mixer into a top performer. The Cube5 is hands down the best-in-class option. While there are other compact preamplifier products available, no other competitor devices come close in performance or sound quality.

Useful anywhere a gain boost would benefit your audio project, such as with low-output ribbon or dynamic microphones, where long cable runs may be encountered, or existing mixing equipment lacks the gain or noise performance these low output microphones really require.

The Cube5 features fully balanced, transformer-coupled input and output, with a JFET topology for optimal low-noise boosting of microphone and instrument levels.

Gain and impedance have been optimized for low-output dynamic and ribbon microphones. Additionally, a high-impedance DI input ensures perfect tonal capture from instrument pickups.

The gain settings may be selected from high gain at 26 dB or low gain of 13 dB at the press of a button. Only two gain levels are incorporated, as full level control will still be handled at the regular mixing system, and is not required at the preamplifier. The noise figure at either gain level is an industry leading -132 dB (A-weighted), a noise performance superior to any comparable device. Typical noise figures for comparable devices are in the 125 - 128 dB range.
