This listing is for one (I have two for sale though) 2026 Audioscape Engineering V108 microphone preamplifier in excellent condition. I bought this one month ago from the Audioscape Engineering website for $699 and used this for one recording session. I bought 4 of them total and I am keeping two and selling two. I love these preamps so much, it has this wonderful non-linear distortion when you push them hard. These respond very well to the classic tracking method of raising the gain right until you hear very noticeable transformer distortion and then going back one click. Presently these are sold out on the website so its a good time to buy a one month old one for $200 off. Or buy them both for $400 off!

Two things to note, these are a very tight fit in most 500 series racks. Almost everyone takes the side panel off when they install them. The pictures shown are with the panel off, but when I go to ship them I will put it back on of course. 2nd thing to note, I'm not the biggest fan of the silver knobs so I put these black ones on. I will include the originals of course so you have the option of which ones you like better.

A new color for your sonic crayon box! The V108, is an uncompromising recreation of one of the most iconic mic preamps ever made.

Featuring a unique combination of JFET-coupled input, class-A 1108-style line amp and custom wound transformer-balanced inputs and outputs, its tone can vary from clean and detailed to a warm and rich harmonic saturation. The V108 is your new secret weapon (we won't tell, promise!).

Imagine the sonic marriage of the 1960’s class-A line-amplifier circuit found in the world's most famous FET compressor of the same era, designed by one of the all-time masters of the craft, coupled with the BEEF of custom wound transformers; the V108 is all that AND a bag of chips!

We’re hyped to be the first to offer this “sonic crayon” in a 500-Series format!
