The Phoenix Audio DRS-1R 500-Series Microphone Preamp is a 500-Series version of the Phoenix Audio DRS-1 and makes no compromises sonically, or in terms of features compared to its rackmount brother.
The Phoenix Audio DRS-1R 500-Series Microphone Preamp uses on-board electronics to boost the +/- 16V rail of the 500 series to +24V to properly power the unit. This preamp features 70 dB of gain, a high-pass filter, and a DI input. The Phoenix DRS Mic Preamp/DIs take a modern approach to Class-A circuit design that delivers a wide range of tones without sacrificing the beloved vibe of true Class-A design. The unique DRS circuit can go from ultra-clean sounds suitable for audiophile recordings all the way to the warm, saturated tones reminiscent of the UK's most heralded vintage designs. Versatility and superior sound have made the DRS Preamp/DI a top-tier choice for engineers around the world and a modern day classic.
