  • Merging the best of analog and digital worlds, the 500- and NG500-series WesAudio _PHOEBE single-channel preamplifier offers classic 1073-style Class-A preamplification and the powerful luxury of digital total recall, plus analog automation in your DAW. On the analog side, _PHOEBE provides high headroom at +28 dBu and uses Carnhill transformers for big tone that'll help you get pro impact in your tracks and mixes. The XLR-1/4" TRS combo input accepts mic, line, and Hi-Z signals. Other features include microphone gain up to 75 dB, switchable impedance input, phantom power, and phase invert control, Additionally, on the front panel, there is output-signal metering with clip detection.

    When it comes to the digital integration, _PHOEBE is high tech with USB connectivity and plug-in control. The touch-sensitive encoders not only adjust the settings of the analog circuitry, but also allow you to write real-time automation to your DAW. Alternatively, you can draw automation in the DAW and _PHOEBE will react accordingly.
