SPL Gold 2 Dual-Channel Recording Front End

Gold 2 Dual-Channel Recording Front End description:

Fully featured dual-channel recording frontend with discrete Class A solid state/tube preamps. Mic, line and front-side instrument input, Limiter, Flair presence enhancement.

Like its successful predecessor, the GoldMike Mark2 retains a hybrid solid state and tube construction to combine the best of both worlds. The transistor stage is composed of single transistors in a class A design. The circuitry is fully discrete, and each transistor is completely optimized for its specific task. You will not find any IC’s in this preamplifier stage because they cannot be optimized for this specific application to the degree we at SPL aim for. This all new discrete class A transistor stage is a genuine innovation in the entire preamplifier market at this price level.
