Summit Audio 2BA-221 Mic Preamp, from Summit

A spectacualr little value in a low-budget variable impedance tube mic preamp. Allowing for variable impedance control of microphone inputs allows this preamp to match perfectly with a wide variety of microphones ranging from condenser mics to ribbon mics and dynamic mics. And, not only does it allow for some tube saturation on the main output, but allows for a second clean output which bypasses the tubes. For all of these reasons, the 2BA-221 really is a good value, and probably the reason that EQ magazine just recognized it with their award for excellence.

Introducing the extraordinary new 2BA-221 continuously variable impedance microphone preamp from Summit Audio. Featuring microphone level, line level, and Hi-Z instrument inputs, the 2BA-221 utilizes separate and individually controlled solid state input controls to mix the microphone input with the Hi-Z or line input into the variable vacuum tube output. Mix them together through the 12AX7A/ECC83 vacuum tube output or separately through individual solid state outputs. The 2BA-221 also features a stackable input design; multiple 2BA-221's can be linked together to form a modular mixing device with individual outs, inserts per channel, and a final vacuum tube gain stage. Its swept high pass filter, multiple simultaneous tube and solid state outputs, insert jack, and internal power supply makes the 2BA-221 a powerful tracking and mixing tool.
