| Lots of people have grown to love the sound of the Aphex 107 and 207 tube
mic/instrument preamps. Aphex's patented circuitry prevents tube overheating to
provide a signal with exceptional presence, detail and clarity. Now the 207
Digital Preamp takes all the great Aphex features and adds 24-bit/96kHz A/D
converters!
Great sounding 2-channel mic preamp and DI
The Aphex Model 207 is
an audiophile quality tube mic preamp without the high cost usually associated
with such products. Many users find the 207 exceeds the performance of preamps
costing many times more. With a 207 in your setup you'll suddenly hear the
subtlety and power of vintage condensers, ribbons, electrets and popular dynamic
mics. Even your most expensive microphones will sound better! The 207's
instrument inputs are also quieter and have more gain than conventional
instrument preamps.
Digital interface for connection to any DAW
With the 207 Digital,
Aphex has made it easy to have a great sounding preamp as the front end for your
digital setup. The built-in 24-bit/96kHz digital converters provide outputs in
S/PDIF and AES/EBU formats for connection to an audio interface or directly to
your computer.
Unique limiter circuit increases dynamic range
One thing that makes
the 207 Digital so good for DAW recording is Aphex's exclusive MicLim, the only
microphone limiter in the world! Drawn from the Model 1100 Model 1788 preamps,
MicLim offers up to 20dB gain reduction to prevent overloads - an essential for
achieving maximum dynamic range without distortion. MicLim makes the 207
virtually crashproof!
Ideal for demanding recording situations
The Model 207 captures all
the subtleties of voices and instruments that can be missed by the inexpensive
mic preamps found in many mixers and DAWs. This detail, dimension and space will
greatly improve the overall sound of your recordings. With this improvement in
realism comes an enhanced presence allowing for easier placement in the final
mix. MicLim allows you to utilize every last bit of digital resolution for the
most dynamic recordings possible.
Improves detail and clarity of live vocals
The 207 can bring
anything miked up out of the mix by greatly improving detail and presence.
Vocals and instruments will have a noticeable improvement in clarity and depth
when switched to a Model 207. Switch Mode power supply offers stable performance
even with unstable mains. And the 207's MicLim eliminates those desperate lunges
over the mixing console to trim back overloaded preamps!
2 direct boxes for the price of one!
For bass, acoustic guitar and
keyboards the Model 207's low-noise, wide frequency response and tube warmth
allow each instrument's unique character to be captured. The MicLim circuit
works on the instrument input also, protecting against overload distortion.
Plus, a typical mono tube direct box (DI) sells for about the price of the Model
207 - and you get two great DIs plus two great mic preamps, more useful features
and Aphex quality all in one box!
