Projects > YannLu PRE500 - Mic/Instrument Preamp
Yann Lu manufactures analog pro audio devices. His first conception is a pure class-A microphone preamp in 500 series.
The circuitry is inspired by the early 80s Harrison MR serie console.
The low noise parallel discrete input stage produces very pristine, clear and transparent sounds with thick transients.

That’s looks very interesting. A HPF included is very cool .
Thank you Paul ! I am currently designing a full parametric EQ inspired from the same Harrison MR4 console. The difficult part of that is to put all the switches and knobs in a 1 unit module…
