Description
Aphex 1100 MkII Details The 1100 MkII from Aphex Systems is a dual channel, high gain
Class A tube microphone preamp. The preamp provides a health amount of
headroom and combined with an EIN of -135dBu, allows for the use of
more gain without overload distortion or noise. The
"Reflected Plate Amplifier" tube circuit is configured as a
single-triode differential opamp to further enhance the preamplifier's
common-mode rejection. This circuit topology subtly imparts the tube's
sonic warmth and character while retaining a long and stable operating
life. The A/D converter receives signal from the soft mute
stage just prior to the analog output level control and triode output
stage. This means that both the digital and analog outputs can be used
independently, with full and proper calibration of both, regardless of
the analog output level settings. The analog and digital outputs
respond equally to the input gain, low-cut filter, and all front end
conditioning effects. Each channel contains a twenty-segment
LED headroom meter, making it easy to optimize the performance of the
preamplifier. The headroom meter is calibrated in decibels below
clipping, where 0dB is the analog clipping point. This coincides with
the A/D converter's maximum input level, so the headroom meter also
indicates the digital audio level accurately. Each channel contains its
own independent controls over every function.
