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.
