A DIFFERENT KIND OF PREAMP
(a different kind of company)
While most things these days are made over seas in huge factories with the
singular goal of maximizing profits by cutting corners and using the cheapest
components, Black Box Analog Design™ does things differently. In fact we take
a different approach to most things. We are not interested in creating clones of
old gear or building derivatives of popular gear. We are interested in creating
gear that does something that hasn't been done before, addresses a need we
come across in the studio and takes a new approach to a problem
or design.
We are not gear designers. Well, we weren't. We come from the studio world
and years ago, our quest to solve certain problems we came across lead us
to begin tinkering with circuits of our own. In particular, our frustration with
even high end microphone preamps when it came to recording vocals sparked
the first design. Since we came from an audio engineering background and
not a circuit design background we weren't influenced by standard designs or
restricted by thoughts of what we "should" do. Instead we allowed our ears to
lead us in the right direction.
Years, and MANY revisions later we have arrived at a preamp that not only
sounds incredible but offers an extremely powerful and unique control over
how you capture sound.
Every part of the all analog audio circuit is assembled by hand and every
component is painstakingly and precisely matched. We use a real, high voltage,
linear power supply, custom wound 'Cinemag' transformers and the best quality
components made.
This old school approach to creating something is MUCH more labor intensive
and costly but the end result is truly a work of art that looks, feels and
sounds incredible!
Congratulations on your new preamp!
