The LaChapell Audio 992EG Tube Microphone Preamp is two channel fully balanced tube microphone preamp and instrument input amplifier. Meticulously hand assembled, every aspect of the 992 speaks to LaChapell Audio's dedication to quality of sound and solid, robust construction. From the Cinemag and Jensen transformers to the knobs and switches, the 992EG is gorgeous inside and out.
With a total of eight vacuum tubes (2x 12AX7/ECC83 input stage and 2x 12AU7/ECC82 output stage tubes per channel), the 992EG tube mic preamp is known for its warm melodic character and rich low-end response.
What makes the 992 such a powerful preamplifier is the level of control the user has over both the input and output stages. Separate input and output knobs allow the user to throttle gain in or out of either the input stage (for loads of character) or the output stage (for a more clear, transparent response). This makes the 992 one of the most flexible preamplifiers available in today’s recording studio market.
The Dual Drive knobs on LaChapell's preamps provide an infinite array of tonal options. Favoring the input knob increases the signal going to the tube, resulting in more harmonics and overall distortion. Favoring the output knob yields a very clean signal. Together, you can dial in sounds from pristine to warm and harmonically rich.
The pad switch not only provides a -20 dB gain reduction for high input sources, it also works with the Dual Drive knobs to create color and headroom options. Engage the pad to dial in warm tones with lots of headroom.
The front panel Hi-Z input allows you to plug a bass or other instrument directly into the 992EG. As an instrument front end, the 992EG adds natural tube compression and harmonics to any input source.
The illuminated VU meters make it easy to dial in the perfect amplification. It runs from a separate signal chain so there is no interference with the amplified signal.
The 992EG rolled steel chassis and precision-milled aluminum front panel are incredibly robust, ensuring your 992EG is not just a tube mic preamp for today's sessions, but one that will be handed down for generations.
Cinemag input transformers, Jensen output transformers, the finest components, carefully selected 12AX7 (input stage) and 12AU7 tubes (output stage)… The 992EG is incredibly quiet, even when heavily driven. A true audio heirloom.
