A-Designs EM Blue - 500-Series Mic Pre Module - Nickel Output Transformer

Equipped with a nickel custom-wound output transformer for accentuated highs, the A-Designs EM Blue is the brightest sounding of the EM Series. It produces an airier, more top-end oriented tone than its EM-Series brothers and sisters. Many aspects of recording can be counter-intuitive; and, in many cases, you’ll want to pair opposites. For example, when used with a dark-sounding microphone or an alto vocalist, the brighter EM-Blue can open the sound up perfectly. 

A-Designs EM-Blue pre is also useful for providing a crisp “crack” when recording a snare drum. If you use the direct input, you just might fall in love with how an electric guitar sounds going thru its nickel transformers.  The EM-Blue has a -20dB pad that enables you to get down and dirty with an electric guitar - just switch in the pad and crank the gain for a slight growl.

A-Designs EM Blue Features:

• 48-volt phantom power
• 20dB pad
• Phase switch
• Custom-wound transformers
• Thumb screws for easy install and un-install
• Cast aluminum rotary gain control knob
