elysia Skulpter 500 Microphone Preamp

Skulpt Your Signals Much more than a preamp, the elysia skulpter 500 is a complete front-end solution for your DAW-based recording rig. The skulpter 500’s audiophile-grade preamplifier is based on a fully discrete, resistor-controlled Class A amplifier designed to complement any microphone with its beautiful, open, natural sound and unprecedented flexibility. If additional drive is desired, two variable saturation/filter stages and an intelligent onboard compressor are on tap to give voices and instruments that elusive hit-record polish, right out of the box.Audiophile circuit design Unlike most preamps that provide a potentiometer to adjust gain, the elysia skulpter 500 is designed with an audiophile gain-staging topology that employs fixed resistors switched by a cascade of relays and electronic switches. The circuit is controlled by a stepped encoder that provides a total of 40 gain values ranging from 3–65dB. This is an impressive gain range that starts whisper-quiet and ends with gain
