Focusrite's Giles Orford goes over the new Red 1 500 Series microphone preamplifier, which revives the popular sound and exceptional quality of Focusrite's Red series. Get all of the details at http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Red1-500

Built to take full advantage of the flexibility of the 500 Series format, the Focusrite Red 1 500 microphone preamplifier provides you with 66dB of the same warm an lively gain that made the original Red 1 and Red 8 preamps such a hit. That has a lot to do with the Red 1 500's topography, which features the same Lundahl LL1538 input transformer and custom Carnhill output transformer as these legendary preamps. Talk about a killer front end for your lunchbox rig!

Focusrite Red 1 500 Series Microphone Preamplifier Features:

• A Red series preamp in the modular 500 Series format
• Original Red circuitry including Lundahl Input transformer and Carnhill custom output transformer
• Grayhill gold-plated mil-grade gain switch provides consistent, recallable results
• 66dB of gain suitable for virtually any microphone, including ribbons
• Backlit VU meter with switchable calibration
• Polarity invert and +48V phantom power
