What you capture is detailed, faithful, and musically authentic—the best possible foundation for your creative process.
Console DNA, on your desktop
The fully discrete, 6-transistor mic preamps are inspired by legendary console circuitry—the same architecture used in Antelope's professional studio interfaces.
Ultra-transparent and faithful, they capture your source with pinpoint accuracy, ideal for post-production. With 75 dB of self-gain, they can drive any type of microphone—including demanding dynamic mics used in streaming and podcasting—without an external booster.
