The BAE 312A is a single-channel mic preamp designed to provide the punchy sound with fast transient reproduction associated with the legendary API 312 mic preamp.

The BAE 312A uses the new Avedis 1122 op-amps which provide a great bass response and clear rich top end making them favourites among engineers throughout the world. The Avedis 1122 actually improves on the API 2520 op-amp by making them much more reliable. In addition to the Avedis op-amp, Jensen input and output transformers have been employed.

A Hi-Z input is provided on the front panel  allowing you to connect a guitar or bass instrument as well as buttons to control the phase, pad and +48V phantom power.

The BAE 312A requires BAE 24V PSU (sold separately) which can be used to power 2 rack mount units.
