Anthony Demaria discusses his incredible design work on the Presonus ADL600 Stereo Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier. The design which takes its cues from some legendary tube mic preamps dating back to recordings made with the Beatles carries forward some of the best of those designs while offering numerous sonic improvements. The massively overbuilt power supply provides extended gain that proves to be clean, quiet, detailed, with extraordinary harmonic and transient detail. With 6 vacuum tubes, 4 audio transformers, and a massive power transformer, this boutique preamp boasts extraordinary build quality and build principles but utilizes the manufacturing genius of Presonus Audio Electronics, resulting in a preamp that sells for half of what it typically would from a boutique manufacturing company. The preamp is utilized briefly to track wonderful-sounding acoustic guitars. Warm Vacuum Tube Coloration coupled with sensational features, amazing detail retention, and pristine build quality makes this preamp a must-have for any serious professional or project studio. The added features like the bass roll-off, an impedance switching (that acts like a tonal color-control from dark to open sounding), a pad, a plus or minus 10db trim control, all add to the wonderful flexibility that this preamp has on numerous applications. Sound Pure is a proud dealer of all of Anthony Demarias products (as well as the wonderfully well-priced products being created by Presonus), even Anthonys hand-built $20,000 Fairchild-styled compressor, and will gladly discuss all of these amazing products in use. With Sound Pures own world-class recording studio in-house, they not only sell the gear that they represent, but are using it on major record releases.

i have 1 to ace love it i use it for vocals in my studios tubes are amazing warmth and crisp sharp vocals
@gorillachilla (and Ace) Anthony really did something special with this unit, we have hip-hop vocalists who love it, we have very aggressive rock guitar players who use it on guitar cabs and then we'll use it classically on our grand piano. Not only does it sound very very good (warm, but detailed), but it is very versatile in where you can use it
