The output transformer is also a custom Carnhill St Ives to recreate the legendary “larger-than-life” sound associated with the most legendary British mic preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Class A mic preamp delivers an impressive 80dB of gain and includes a -20dB Pad for loud sources and a polarity reversal. An impedance switch changing the impedance between 1200 Ohm and 300 Ohm input to offer optimum performance with any microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also includes a discrete class-A JFET DI, also taken from the “73Jr”, and placed just before the input transformer, providing the colour and weight associated with the mic preamp. A Thru output is also provided to let you plug your instrument to a separate amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded 73 Equalizer.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Britstrip includes a three-band EQ with 3 Vinkor pot core inductors used for the mid-band and the high-pass filter sections. These provide huge benefits and ample headroom. The inductor based low pass filter is taken directly from Heritage Audio 73. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth low and high shelf bands have seen the inclusion of a bell mode, for increased flexibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiode Bridge Compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compression section takes many of its cues from the celebrated Successor including its incredibly fast attack and release times. On the Britstrip, Heritage Audio have made a few changes to make it more suitable for tracking, adding a parallel path controlled by the blend knob and an elaborate sidechain filter that includes five frequency options as well as an external side-chain input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn use, the diode bridge compressor provides a great and fast way to get record-ready dynamics at the tracking stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Link section lets you use two Britstrip together and match their gain reduction for the ultimate stereo tracking compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compressor can be placed before or after the EQ section at the press of a button.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55895070343551,"sku":"ITM010807","price":1249.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4915\/9716\/products\/ha-britstrip-kmr.jpg?v=1680170577","url":"https:\/\/kmraudio.com\/products\/heritage-audio-britstrip-b-stock","provider":"KMR Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
