Fusing an ultra-clean microphone preamplifier, a flexible three-band equalizer, an effortless VCA compressor, and a custom transformer output stage with variable Silk texture, the Newton delivers world-class sound sculptability in a streamlined 1U rackmount chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/avedQpufnvQ\" title=\"The Newton Channel\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Clean Class-A Preamplifier with Massive Headroom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Newton input stage features an electronically balanced Class-A microphone preamplifier delivering 72 dB of pristine gain with an exceptionally high 8,900 Ohm input impedance. By omitting transformer loading on the input, the preamp preserves ultra-fast transient response and ruler-flat frequency performance, placing the natural tone of your microphone front and centre while effortlessly handling line-level signals up to +23.6 dBu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Three-Band EQ and Intuitive VCA Compression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineered for rapid workflow, the three-band state-variable EQ offers +\/-12 dB of boost or cut across switchable low-shelf (60 Hz \/ 150 Hz) and high-shelf (8 kHz \/ 16 kHz) frequencies, alongside a sweepable mid-band spanning 220 Hz to 7 kHz. The integrated VCA feedback compressor provides smooth, musical dynamic control with a fixed 20 ms attack, soft-knee 2:1 ratio, and variable release, complete with a Pre-EQ switch to adapt to any signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Transformer Output with Red \u0026amp; Blue Silk Saturation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of the signal path sits a custom Rupert Neve Designs output transformer paired with the coveted Silk harmonic-enhancement circuit. Silk Red mode adds top-end sparkle and presence to vocals and acoustic instruments, while Silk Blue beefs up low-end warmth for bass, kick drums, and synthesizers. Dual concurrent XLR outputs (Main and -6 dB) allow engineers to drive the transformer heavily for vintage harmonic richness without overloading downstream A\/D converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Class-A microphone preamplifier delivering 72 dB of clean gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSallen-Key continuously variable high-pass filter from 20 Hz to 250 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete 3-band state-variable equalizer with independent bypass control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mid-frequency parametric EQ sweep spanning 220 Hz to 7 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth feedback VCA compressor with variable release and pre\/post EQ routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Red and Blue Silk texture control for transformer harmonic saturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom transformer output stage with simultaneous Main and -6 dB XLR outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31-detent potentiometers throughout for precise setting recall and stereo matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced combo XLR-1\/4\" TRS input accepting microphone and line-level signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated 1\/4\" TRS link jack for stereo compressor operation across two units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreamplifier Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Class-A electronically balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 dB to +66 dB (6 dB steps) + ±6 dB fine TRIM (72 dB total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8,900 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Input Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e +23.6 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz – 30 kHz (±0.1 dB), 5 Hz – 140 kHz (-3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Input Noise (EIN):\u003c\/strong\u003e -125 dBu (at +30 dB gain, 150 Ω source)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD+N):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.0013% at 0 dBu (1 kHz), 0.0007% at +20 dBu (1 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Pass Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 dB\/octave Sallen-Key, variable 20 Hz to 250 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEqualizer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Band State-Variable (±12 dB boost\/cut)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLF Shelf Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switchable 60 Hz \/ 150 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid Band Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parametric sweep 220 Hz to 7 kHz (fixed Q)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHF Shelf Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switchable 8 kHz \/ 16 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feedback VCA (soft-knee 2:1 ratio, fixed 20 ms attack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressor Controls \u0026amp;
