Wolff Audio Sunset Sound Tutti

The Wolff Audio Sunset Sound Tutti is a meticulously engineered 500-series microphone and instrument preamplifier, developed in collaboration with Wolff Audio and Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood, featuring discrete dual 990 op-amps, custom dual Cinemag nickel I/O transformers, an output fader with continuous control from infinite to 65dB, over 60dB of gain, a flat frequency response spanning from 10Hz to 60kHz, and minimal phase shift within the usable range, while incorporating a front panel mic input switchable between 150 and 1500 ohms, a TRS input rated at 100k ohms, and a phantom power selection system that eliminates switching noise.

A Tribute to a Legendary Engineer

The Tutti preamp honours the legacy of Tutti Camarata, the founder of Sunset Sound and a pioneer in recording technology. Originally developed in-house at Sunset Sound, the preamplifier was integrated into the iconic Studio 1 console, a key component in thousands of legendary recordings. This modern version preserves the essence of the original design while incorporating advancements in precision engineering. Paul Wolff and Paul Camarata, Tutti’s son, worked rigorously to recreate this legendary circuit, ensuring absolute authenticity. Cinemag transformer designer David Geren, responsible for the original transformers, was commissioned once again to provide the same sonic character in today’s version.

Exceptional Audio Quality and Performance

Designed for professional engineers, producers, and musicians, the Tutti preamp is built to deliver outstanding warmth, clarity, and detail. It achieves distortion levels below 0.03% at frequencies under 100Hz, ensuring pristine signal integrity. Its discrete circuitry provides exceptional headroom with a clip onset at +28dBu, allowing for clean, uncoloured amplification. The advanced power efficiency draws less than 100 milliamps per rail, ensuring reliable operation in any studio environment.

Versatility for Any Recording Situation

Engineered to accommodate a variety of studio applications, the Tutti preamp offers switchable input impedance for microphones, allowing seamless compatibility with different mic types. The custom Cinemag transformers contribute to its rich harmonic detail and transparency, ensuring every recording captures the depth and warmth of the original performance. The fully variable output fader allows precise level control, making it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking sonic excellence.

Built to Last with Timeless Performance

Constructed with high-quality components and an elegantly simple design, the Tutti preamp ensures reliability and superior performance for years to come. Every element of its circuitry has been carefully selected to preserve the authentic characteristics of the legendary Sunset Sound Studio 1 console while meeting modern studio demands. At just 7 lbs, it offers portability without compromising durability, making it a versatile and essential addition to any high-end recording setup.
