Warm Audio JUDE-MP Microphone Preamp - Sound Techniques

The Warm Audio JUDE-MP is a single-channel dual-discrete console microphone preamp, developed in collaboration with Sound Techniques. The circuit is based on the "A-Range" mixing console from Trident Studios, designed by Geoff Frost, which played a major role in the sound of many classic British recordings.

At its heart is a Class-A 3035 dual-discrete amplifier with custom CineMag transformers, Wima and Nichicon capacitors, and carbon resistors on a hand-wired PCB. With the 9-position Z-Match impedance control, you can tune the preamp to your microphone, which noticeably changes the sound. It also features 48V phantom power, a phase reversal switch, a line level switch, and a VU meter.
