Focusrite

The Red 1 Series 500 microphone preamplifier, with his red front panel in anodized aluminum, is perfect for those who remember the wonderful sound of the Series Red Focusrite original and wish to carry that signature sound in the modern studio. With a Lundahl transformer LL1538 custom input and a Carnhill transformer in output (just like the original), phantom power can be activated, polarity inversion, and a VU meter back-lit easy to read, the Red 1 Series 500 offers a compact interface for digital recording over for convenient access in any control room. Stadium Output of the Red 1 Series 500 can be connected to cables very long - up to several meters - without having one significant loss of quality: a characteristic that makes it ideal for remote recording. Microphone gain is set via a gold-plated switch in 6dB steps between -6 and + 60dB, for a precise adjustment that allows the recall of the channel settings.
