Earthworks 1021 - Single Channel Preamp - Half-Rack

Earthworks 1021

With a similar design philosophy to their microphones the ZDT preamp series embody uncompromising clarity. The transient response, distortion rating and flat frequency response are almost unmatched at any price.

The 1021 also provides frequency response from 1Hz to 200kHz +0.5dB, a rise time of 0.27 microseconds and distortion of less than 1 part per million (0.0001%), eliminating all possibility of sonic degradation.
