The front panel of the FireStudio Tube is loaded with two
“SuperChannels” featuring class A vacuum tube microphone and instrument
preamplifiers along with full-featured analog limiters.
The tube
preamplifiers use a high gain, military grade 12AX7 tube for maximum
gain, low noise and high headroom. Neutrik combo connectors allow both
XLR microphone input and hi-Z instrument input. Preamp controls include
preamp gain and tube drive to achieve a wide range of sounds from
smooth, clean and clear, to warm tube saturation. An 80Hz high pass
filter is also located on the front panel to remove room rumble and
unwanted lows.
