Description

For those who crave sonic versatility and precision, the Purple Audio Biz Mk 500 Series Mic Preamp / Line Driver Module is a pioneering addition to any studio setup. This module transforms the traditional approach to mic preamps with its dual Class-A opamp design, offering a remarkable 75dB of gain. Whether you're bringing life to a delicate ribbon mic or looking to add some character to your vocals, this preamp is your creative partner.

The Biz Mk is not just about raw power; it's about nuanced control. With its intuitive gain and level settings, you can sculpt your sound palette to perfection. Engage the "Dual" switch to split the gain across two amplifiers, delivering both clarity and warmth. The inclusion of a front-panel DI ensures that even direct instrument inputs benefit from the same high-quality processing.

The discrete signal path is complemented by thoughtful features like tri-color LED metering for both input and output, allowing you to monitor your levels with ease. A mic/line switch adds flexibility, while the selectable load switch on the DI offers a choice between 33kohms and 100kohms, giving your instruments an open and natural tone.

Key Features:

  • Discrete signal path with dual Class-A opamp design
  • Up to 75dB of gain for versatile applications
  • Front-panel DI with selectable load for tonal variation
  • Tri-color LED metering for precise level monitoring
  • Mic/Line switch for flexible input handling
  • Auto-resetting fuse to protect your gear effortlessly
