Thermionic Culture ULTRA Vulture Dual Channel Valve Enhancer

All valve enhancer suitable for accurate stereo uses, including mastering features include extended frequency response, low noise, and re-callability 

MFR# ULTRA Vulture

Product Description

The Thermionic Culture ULTRA Vulture Dual Channel Valve Enhancer builds on the success and performance of the limited edition Culture Vulture 20th Anniversary model, the Ultra Vulture performance is the best for stereo sources yet and offers the best harmonic distortion money can buy.

THE ULTRA Vulture takes the Culture Vulture to a new level making it more suitable for accurate stereo uses, including mastering, where extended frequency response, low noise and re-callability are of prime importance. Transformer balanced line ins and outs are standard, on XLR connectors.

Although the unit can be clean, The ULTRA Vulture can be used for distortion effects! Push it and try it! The user has total control over the type and amount of distortion, which can be changed from even to odd harmonics or a combination of both. Starved, the sound from The Vulture becomes thin and loses its body, overfed, it becomes fatter.

FEATURES:

  • Lower noise and minimum distortion than previous models
  • Wider bandwidth with more low end extension and high end well beyond 20 kHz
  • Subtle lift of low and high frequencies for clarity, size and depth of sound
  • Wide sweet spot of controls for subtle stereo use with excellent stereo matching
  • Balanced inputs and outputs provided by specially designed transformers
  • Indented front panel controls for easy recall and stereo matching
  • Triode, Pentode and P2 settings taken from the now classic Culture Vulture
  • Normal/+10 dB/Overdrive and presence switches taken from Culture Vulture Super 15

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.

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.
