VT-2
The VT-Series Microphone Preamplifiers stand as the preferred choice for top artists, engineers, producers, and audio professionals, offering unparalleled performance in ultra high-fidelity tracking sessions. Crafted with a meticulous focus on sonic quality, reliability, and ruggedness, each VT preamp is hand-built on a heavy-gauge aluminum chassis, featuring point-to-point wiring and carefully selected vacuum tubes for minimal noise and maximum clarity. The front panel switches utilize sealed, gold-contact precision relays, ensuring pristine sound quality and minimizing the internal audio path. With four class-A triode amplifier sections in each channel, the VT-Series is celebrated for its sonic superiority.
The VT-2 introduces a switchable 43 dB pad, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the Master Buss during mixdown and mastering, imparting D.W. Fearn's unique sonic signature to the final mix or mastering process. This new capability positions the VT-2 as a triple threat, excelling in recording, mixing, and mastering scenarios.
