Wes Audio PHOEBE

The WesAudio Phoebe is a 500 Series mic/line/instrument preamp with cutting-edge features. While the Class A signal path remains entirely analogue, Phoebe offers complete control and automation directly from your DAW, representing the perfect fusion of analogue and digital technologies. 

The WesAudio Phoebe features a top-panel combo jack providing both TRS hi-Z instrument DI and XLR mic and line-level inputs. This device offers 75dB of microphone gain, ensuring clean headroom for even the most low-output passive ribbon mics. Furthermore, selectable input impedance allows you to achieve optimal sound quality with any microphone. For precise gain staging, Phoebe incorporates WesAudio's proprietary Iron Pad, a passive circuit positioned after the output transformer, allowing you to control output attenuation in 1dB increments, up to -15 dB. Speaking of transformers, Phoebe boasts two genuine Carnhill transformers (input and output), which are integral to Phoebe's renowned big-iron sound. With its state-of-the-art engineering, advanced features, and classic, warm, and punchy analogue sound, the WesAudio Phoebe is the ideal 500 Series preamp for today's DAW-based studios.
