Camden EC1
Preamp,
Signal Processor & Headphone Amplifier
Award-winning Preamp Performance
Schließen Sie Camden EC1 an Ihr Audio-Interface an und erleben Sie den preisgekrönten Sound des Camden Preamp-Designs. Mit bis zu 68,5 dB makellosem, sauberem Gain ist der Camden EC1 der perfekte Vorverstärker für die Kombination mit dynamischen Mikrofonen und Bändchenmikrofonen mit geringer Verstärkung.
Powerful Headphone Monitoring
Mit einem leistungsstarken Kopfhörerverstärker in Referenzqualität und einem dedizierten Line-Mixer bietet Ihnen Camden EC1 ein WAHRES, latenzfreies Monitoring Ihres Vorverstärkers in Mastering-Qualität, das mühelos mit der Wiedergabe von Ihrer DAW gemischt wird.
Könnte der erste Vorverstärker sein, den Sie jemals kaufen werden, und möglicherweise der letzte.
Preislich ist es Ihr erster Vorverstärker, aber der einzige Vorverstärker, den Sie jemals brauchen werden. Erstklassige technische Exzellenz zu Hause in jedem professionellen Studio, geliefert zu Ihrem Studio für weniger als Sie vielleicht denken.
Ultra-sauber und transparent
Nehmen Sie Ihr Mikrofon, Ihre Linie und Ihre Instrumente mit vollständiger Transparenz auf; Verstärken Sie dynamische Mikrofone mit geringer Empfindlichkeit, ohne Rauschen hinzuzufügen; und erfassen Sie sofortige Spitzen ohne Phasenverschiebungen, die das Mischen erschweren.
Mit Vintage-Mojo on Tape
Auf Knopfdruck nimmt der cleane Camden-Vorverstärker mit seinem analogen Mojo-Sättigungsregler und den „Thump“- und „Cream“-Stilen die Rolle von Vintage-Übertrager- oder Röhrenvorverstärkern an.
Perfekt für Musiker, Ingenieure, Podcaster, Synchronsprecher
