Inspired by legendary dual-amp topologies, it provides the warm, punchy character professionals crave, while offering full DAW-based recall and automation. Whether you are a tracking engineer needing consistent results or a producer seeking high-end harmonic saturation, the Phoebe is designed for seamless integration into high-pressure studio environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/09T__6QIkGc\" title=\"_PHOEBE - fully analog, class A microphone\/line\/instrument preamplifier with digital recall\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIconic British \"Big Iron\" Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Phoebe features genuine British-made Carnhill transformers on both the input and output stages, delivering the rich low-end warmth and impeccable transient response associated with classic 1073 designs. With a massive 75dB of gain and +28dBu of analogue headroom, it handles everything from delicate vintage ribbon mics to hot line-level signals with absolute clarity and musical authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Digital Recall and Automation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike traditional analogue gear, the Phoebe utilises the GCon communications framework to provide total digital recall and automation directly from your DAW. The isolated analogue signal path remains pure Class A, while the companion plugin allows you to save settings, automate gain changes for dynamic vocalists, and manage configurations without leaving your mixing sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Gain Staging with Iron Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve the perfect balance between character and transparency, the proprietary Iron Pad passive attenuation circuit is placed after the output transformer. This allows you to drive the preamp and saturate the Carnhill iron for grit and weight while backing off the final output in 1dB steps to prevent overloading your audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Class A analogue signal path with +28dBu headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-amp vintage topology inspired by classic British designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput and output Carnhill transformers for legendary analogue character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal digital recall and full DAW automation via WesAudio GCon plugin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary 15dB Iron Pad passive output attenuation circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable input impedance (300\/1200 ohms) to match any microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-panel XLR\/TRS combo jack with Hi-Z instrument DI support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual recallable memory banks (A\/B) for independent front and rear input settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise output signal metering with clip detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard 500-series and ng500-series (_TITAN) chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue hardware bypass configuration for absolute signal integrity\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\u003ePreamp Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 75dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10dB to +20dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument (Hi-Z) Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e -30dB to +25dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadroom:\u003c\/strong\u003e +28dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e +\/- 0.5dB (20Hz–20kHz); -3dB at 50kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.005% at 1kHz (+20dBu output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance (Mic):\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 ohms or 1200 ohms (Selectable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Input Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5k ohms bridging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Input Noise (EIN):\u003c\/strong\u003e Better than -120dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to -15dB (In 1dB steps via passive Iron Pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBypass:\u003c\/strong\u003e True hardware relay bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModule Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500 Series \/ ng500 (Single slot format)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComputer Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front Panel Mini-USB or via WesAudio _TITAN Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170mA (+16V); 100mA (-16V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38 x 133 x 145 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplore WesAudio Premium Analogue Gear:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wesaudio.com\/product\/_phoebe\/\" title=\"Explore WesAudio Premium Analogue Gear\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ehttps:\/\/wesaudio.com\/product\/_phoebe\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WesAudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51059017941028,"sku":"ADSRS_WesAud_PHOEBE","price":19060.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_WesAud_PHOEBEimg01.jpg?v=1783936560","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/wesaudio-_phoebe-500-series-analogue-preamp-with-digital-recall","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
