Violet Design GLOBAL-PRE
Compact Pre-Amplifier Body, Black Matte

GLOBAL-PRE

The GLOBAL PRE is compact hi-end quality electrostatic microphone preamplifier body. Fully covering today’s high resolution audio recording demands, it was designed as an alternative to expensive historical vacuum tube microphone preamplifiers.

The GLOBAL PRE body is fully compatible with Germany made vintage M-series interchangeable capsule heads, and B-series & VIN-series interchangeable capsule heads made by JZ in Latvia.

Phantom powered, linear, class-A discrete solid state transformerless preamplifier electronics provides extremely low self noise and hard to measure distortion. Symmetric output with XLR-3 type gold plated contact output connector provides balanced low impedance output and stable connection.

The GLOBAL PRE body comes in a wooden box with included GSM adjustable angle compact studio shock mount.

Polar patterns and applications fully depend on which interchangeable head is used (not included).
