Description

Robbie brings our heritage of design innovation and premium sound to your entire recording process. Featuring audiophile-grade components and an IC-free signal path, Robbie the Mic Pre delivers superior accuracy and transparency every time. With an unprecedented 34dB of headroom before clipping, Robbie will add depth and dimensionality to your recordings.

Robbie puts an end to the tube vs. solid-state debate by combining the best aspects of each into one premium preamp. The fully discrete ECC88 twin triode tube input and gain stage deliver warm, rich and detailed tone—while the electronically balanced solid-state output ensures pristine sound with unmatched clarity. Together, it’s two halves of the same whole of audio quality—aka, perfection.

Features

  • Fully discrete Class-A signal path - completely balanced from input to output
  • Solid-state transformerless input stage coupled with twin triode (ECC88) vacuum tube gain stage
  • Ultra-low noise (-131 dB), maximum detail and exceptionally musical harmonic saturation
  • Amazing 34 dB head room before clipping
  • Front panel instrument DI for enhancing bass, electric guitar, synth or drum machine
