The Midas XL4-2 Tube Microphone Preamp brings rich valve character, generous gain, and classic studio style to vocals, instruments, and demanding microphone setups.
Built around two premium 12AX7 tubes and a Class A dual-mono architecture, this two-channel tube preamp delivers the warmth and harmonic dimension engineers expect from genuine tube circuitry while maintaining the clarity, low noise, and dynamic performance required for modern recording. Each channel provides up to 72 dB of gain, giving the XL4-2 enough muscle for condenser, dynamic, and gain-hungry ribbon microphones. Switchable AIR circuitry adds extra presence and high-frequency detail when a source needs to step forward in the mix, while dedicated phantom power, pad, low-cut, and phase-reverse controls make it easy to adapt each channel to the session at hand. Large illuminated VU meters provide clear level monitoring, and the glowing tubes are visible through transparent front-panel windows for a fitting touch of vintage-inspired visual flair. With independent controls, balanced XLR connectivity, and a rugged 2U rackmount enclosure, the Midas XL4-2 is equally comfortable handling stereo recordings, dual-microphone sessions, or two completely different sources at once.
