At its core, the PowerPre relies on a hand-selected 100% discrete electronics architecture, ensuring optimal signal transfer and audio performance. To impart a touch of vintage warmth and a remarkably smooth tone to your recordings, this preamp features a Hammond broadcast transformer output, setting it apart from the rest.

One of its standout features is the AccuState low-noise input circuit, which automatically optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio at all gain levels. With up to 55dB of gain available, you can achieve clean and clear recordings without unwanted noise or distortion. The PowerPre also provides precise signal monitoring through a 10-segment LED meter, allowing you to maintain control over your audio levels.

For added versatility and tonal shaping, the PowerPre offers a 3-position Vox control. You can select the "breath" setting to add high-frequency air, perfect for enhancing vocal tracks or acoustic guitars. The "punch" setting adds body and warmth, making it ideal for electric guitar recordings or fattening up vocals. When set to "linear," the PowerPre delivers a natural, unaltered sound that's perfect for capturing orchestral performances or any source where a pristine audio signal is desired.

To further enhance your recordings, the PowerPre includes a gentle high-pass filter, helping to control low-end resonance when recording multiple acoustic instruments or managing unwanted rumble.

In summary, the Radial PowerPre is an ultra-quiet, low-noise, and exceptionally warm-sounding microphone preamplifier module designed to elevate your audio recording experience.
