Digitally-Controlled Eurorack FET Mic Preamp

CB Electronics has announced the ER-MicAmp for Eurorack. The ER-MicAmp is the latest addition to the ER-Range, and joins in with the ER-Processor, ER-Patch16/32 and ER-Gain & Sum.

A spokesperson told us, "Our goal was to create the best possible clean eurorack FET Microphone preamp, with digital control and recall from the XPatch App and the ER Processor. The ER-MicAmp brings studio quality to eurorack with clean sparkly treble response and an extended sounding presentation of the low end."

Here's more details direct from the company...

The ER-MicAmp excels in delivering detail and lets people hear very low level signals in the top end of the spectrum. It features an unrivalled pristine High Impedance line/Instrument level input, to bring in very high quality audio from any source into the system.

Use the breakpoint to connect Mic/Line/Instrument Input to your system and to output via Balanced XLR Line Output.
