Sage Electronics Introduces SE-Pre 1

Sage Electronics has introduced the SE - Pre 1, an elegantly simple discrete 'class A' mic preamp.

Designed by record producer / studio designer Phillip Victor Bova and hand-constructed on a one-off basis for home, project and commercial studios as well as touring producers, engineers and live sound pros, the SE - Pre 1 is for anyone who has ever wanted to own a classic 1960's or 70's mic preamp but has been reluctant to incur the premium purchase price and costly maintenance these aging classics demand.

The SE - Pre 1 is available as a stand-alone single channel module or with up to 8-channels in a 19" 3 RU rackmount. It features:

• Discrete class A circuitry
• Hand-selected and wired precision-matched components
• Unclippable input (even by extreme mic signals) - requires no input pad
• + 26 dBu output capable of driving a 600 ohm load or greater (this covers everything from vintage gear to the latest digital audio workstations)
• + 48 volt switch-able phantom power w/ jewel light indicator
• Clarostat gain pot
• Gold plated balanced XLR I / O connectors
• Very low self noise
• Superior electromagnetic / electrostatic and rf noise shielding via shock-mounted all-steel internal + an aluminum external chassis
• Separate DC connector cable from each SE - Pre module to power supply
• Exotic wood (purple heart or oak) front panel with vintage-style knob and switch

Every module is fully tested, 'burned-in' and signed by the 'builder' prior to shipment.

The SE - Pre 1 comes with a manual and a 3 year warranty. The product carries a manufacturer's suggested list price of CDN $679. (US $469.) and is available directly from the manufacturer. The SE - PS external universal-voltage power supply (capable of powering up to 16 sage modules) sells separately for CDN $479. (US $319.).
