Inspired by the legendary Studer 169 mixing console, the PRE169's input stage is a near perfect replication of the original Studer© design and its fairly transparent sound with massive gain range. To add more fatness, we put a (BIG) Carnhill transformer in the output section - the same you can find in Neve 51-series console - and packed it all in a (tiny) 500 series format.
Designed and assembled in our workshop in Saint Vérand (France). All parts are manufactured by our beloved partners in France & Europe.
