Go Analog! Sound Skulptor MP599 Mic PreAmp SE Special Edition w./ Zombie 5058G Germanium OpAmp

This is a Special Edition Microphone PreAmp for the '500' format ("Lunchbox"). The MP599 has been developed by Sound Skulptor, a french specialist for high-end studio equipment, and built by hand in my German studio (more than 30 years experience in assembling and maintaining of studio elektronics). It includes only premium components: LUNDAHL transformers (input, output), WIMA caps, Tantalum caps, high grade metalfilm resistors, etc..

Because of the high performance, mu-metal core Lundahl transformers, the MP 5.99 features the warmth of the iron but it is also an extremely transparent mic pre that will capture all sound sources with extreme finesse.

The MP 5.99 is great on all transient rich sources like acoustic and percussive instruments. It will shine in close or distant miking applications.

The SE Special Edition comes with a Zombie Audio 5058G "Enhanced Version" Germanium Transistor OpAmp. This version sports transients you haven't heard before!

The module comes fully calibrated and tested with a 3 years limited warranty.

Any question? Please ask!

Last but not least: please don't send me price proposals! To build such an unit in an appropriate quality takes more time than you may imagine. And needs some quite expensive equipment and a lot of experience. So please accept this or go for Behringer etc.
