Description

The Quad Eight 712 is a microphone preamp and EQ module from an analog mixing console.

Quad Eight was an American console manufacturer widely used in professional recording studios from the 1970s to the 1980s, particularly popular for film scoring and rock album recordings.

Features of the Quad Eight 712: ・A channel strip module with a microphone preamp and EQ ・Originally built into Quad Eight mixing consoles ・Known for its warm and punchy sound ・Has a distinct tonal character different from API or Neve ・Some audio engineers have modified the module into standalone rack units

Vintage Quad Eight gear is still highly regarded among modern music producers and engineers, especially those seeking the “California sound” and a rich analog tone.
