The CHIMERA is a single-channel preamp/DI box that offers two discrete circuits: at the flick of a switch, you can choose between the crystal-clear, transparent character of the solid-state amplifier or the smooth, silky tones served up by the valve preamp. Each vintage circuit design is totally unique to Sontronics, employing the highest quality traditional components and custom-made transformers. Further fine adjustments can be made using the variable high-pass filter, three-stage attenuation and phase controls, enabling CHIMERA to create an infinite number of sonic colourations.
With a near-linear frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, CHIMERA will preserve the unique characteristics of your favourite mics and instruments into the recording stage, and the electronically balanced inputs and outputs ensure that CHIMERA will deliver your signal to your recording system with perfect integrity. CHIMERA offers the kind of sonic excellence and engineering quality you'd find in a premium branded preamp, but comes at a much more affordable price point. CHIMERA is 100% made in Europe, having been conceived and designed in the UK, and developed and manufactered in Portugal, signalling the start of an exciting European-based partnership.
With its transparent, distortion-free response, expceptional headroom, musciality and flexibility, CHIMERA brings Sontronics closer to perfecting the front end of the audio chain.
