The 32Cpre+ also makes connectivity a breeze with a front panel combo jack that supports both XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, and a Hi-Z switch for high impedance sources.

Harrison 32Cpre+ 500 Series Preamp Review | TapeOp | Tape Op Magazine

tapeop.com

Tim Pratt's review of the Harrison Audio 32Cpre+ 500 Series Mic Preamp Module is a glowing endorsement of its capabilities. The preamp impressed with its clear and articulate sound, adding commendable body and weight to recordings. The inclusion of front-mounted XLR combo jacks and effective high- and low-pass filters makes it versatile for both tracking and mixing. While the SM7B snare mic sounded a bit too thick initially, the filters helped refine the sound. The preamp excelled in handling various instruments, making it a top choice for those seeking the classic Harrison console sound in a compact form. However, the price may deter budget-conscious buyers. Overall, it's an enticing option for capturing mix-ready tracks with ease.

Harrison 32Cpre+, MR3eq and Comp 500 Series Units — A Mix Real-World Review

mixonline.com

The Harrison Audio 32Cpre+ 500 Series Microphone Preamp Module earns high marks for its superb sound quality drawn from Harrison's classic analog desks. Its versatile connection options and expansive frequency filters enhance its appeal. However, the review notes minor issues, such as a stiff 1/4-inch jack and simplistic metering, which slightly detract from its otherwise stellar performance. Despite these quirks, the 32Cpre+ demonstrates exceptional tonal quality across various instruments, making it a commendable choice for musicians seeking a robust preamp solution for their 500 Series rack.

Harrison Audio 500 Series

soundonsound.com

Harrison's 32Cpre+ module hits a high note with its blend of modern components and vintage-inspired features, including iconic high- and low-pass filters. The audio performance is stellar, offering clarity with a hint of warmth, making it a fine choice for those who appreciate quality transformer-balanced preamps. While the competition in the 500-series market is fierce, the 32Cpre+ holds its own with its unique offerings. However, its less obvious competitive edge compared to its EQ and compressor siblings might give some buyers pause. Overall, it's a worthy contender for those seeking Harrison's classic sound in a modern package.
