SONIC FARM CREAMER Plus | Dual Pentode Preamplifier Plus Eq & Line In

Creamer Plus

A pentode tube hybrid microphone and instrument preamplifier, our flagship product!

Same as the Creamer but with an added line input with a separate 1:1 transformer on each input. Great for inserting into the mix buss or individual tracks for tonal coloration! The Line gain is the same as that of the instrument input, except that it is transformer balanced.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• Switchable input impedance (for mic input only): 900Ohm, 10kOhm, 2.4kOhm
• Instrument (DI) input impedance: 2.2MOhm
• Output mode: Transformer or solid state balanced driver
• Frequency response: 10Hz-50kHz +/- 3dB
• Maximum gain: 74dB
• Harmonic distortion: <2% before clipping level, quickly decreases if driven less.
• Maximum output level: 32dBu
• Minimum output load: 600Ohm
• Connectors: XLR mic and output, balanced only
• Instrument input: 1/4” unbalanced, mono
• Power consumption: 30W
• All supply voltages regulated.
• 285V Plate voltage for huge headroom
• Gold plated printed circuit boards with a double copper layer.
• Gold plated tube sockets

A switchable two position high and low frequency boost can be handy when tracking to add air or fatness to the signal. It utilizes the tube gain stage, without adding another one. The idea is to keep the circuit simple, to preserve detail and transients.

The intensity of the boost can be adjusted with 2 trim-pots. The use of inductors yields a very musical sound. The manual explains more, please click below to download.
