Rupert Neve Designs 5025 Dual Shelford Mic Preamp Features:

• Two channels of world-class Neve preamplification in a single rack space unit
• 12-way precision rotary switch controls gain from 0 to 66 dB in 6 dB steps
• HPF switch engages a 12dB per octave high pass filter. The HPF FREQ potentiometer is variable from 20Hz to 250Hz
