D.W. Fearn VT-2 Dual Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier

The VT-Series Microphone Preamplifiers have long been the weapon of choice for top artists, engineers, producers, and other audio professionals. Designed to deliver unparalleled performance in ultra high-fidelity tracking sessions, any microphone or sound source will benefit from the improved clarity, definition, and lack of solid-state artifacts that are the hallmarks of the VT-Series. In designing the VT Series of Microphone Preamplifiers, no compromise in sonic quality, reliability, or ruggedness was permitted. Like the best tube equipment of the 1950s and ’60s, each VT preamp is hand-built on a heavy-gauge aluminum chassis, utilizing point-to-point wiring. Each vacuum tube is selected for minimum noise and microphonics, and to deliver maximum sonic clarity. The VT-2 Preamplifier also features an integrated, switchable 43 dB pad, enabling it to be patched into the Master Bus at line level during mixdown and mastering to provide the unique D.W. Fearn sonic signature to the final product.
