Brent Averill 1272 Dual Channel Mic Preamp 2006 - Gray with Silver Knobs

Brent Averill 1272 dual-channel mic preamp, built to the original 1272 topology and known for delivering that unmistakable vintage British tone. This version features silver metal knobs and comes with the matching external power supply.

Features:

• Dual-channel Class A mic preamp

• Built by Brent Averill (pre-BAE branding)

• Silver metal knobs

• Includes external power supply

• XLR input and output

• Fully functional and clean

Note: The indicator lamp inside the 48V phantom switch on one channel is currently out. Phantom power functions perfectly—this is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect performance.

Internally, this unit features Carnhill transformers, including a VTB9045 mic input transformer and VTB1148 output transformer, paired with the classic 1272/283 discrete Class A amplifier circuitry. Transformer date codes indicate early 2000s production, consistent with the period when this unit was built and racked by Brent Averill.

This preamp brings depth, smoothness, and harmonic weight to vocals, drums, guitars, and bass. I am the first and only owner. It has been lightly used in a smoke-free professional studio and is in excellent condition.
