Built to the exact specs of the original modules, the included preamps boast Marinair input and output stage transformers which gives them their unmistakable sound.

Using Neve’s Smart Routing, each preamp can be routed to channel 17/18 at the push of a button while also be hard-patched to any channel via their additional input.
