What We Think

In Used, Excellent Condition

Manufacturer's Description from BAE

Because there are no capacitors in the audio path, the 312A is super fast and punchy, allowing transients to pass easily, making them a favourite for drummers.

Made with the highest quality parts including Jensen input and output transformers and the Avedis® 1122 opamp. The 312A also includes a high impedance DI for instruments.

  • Made using Avedis® 1122 opamps
  • Supplied with Jensen input and output transformers.
  • Remote power supply with four-foot cable capable of four times the current needed by the preamps for optimum sound quality.
  • Switches have gold contacts for long life.
  • XLR connectors on the back for mic input and output and phone jack in front for direct input.
  • High impedance direct input for guitar and synthesizer.
  • Separate front panel switches for phantom power.

About Manufacturer

BAE are manufacturers of high end microphone preamp/equalizers faithful to vintage designs of the seventies and before. With a penchant for high quality transformers like Carnhill (St lves) and Jensen, everything is as close to the vintage philosophy as possible. Not only that but we insist everything is hand-wired/soldered using discreet electronics and not economized on a circuit board.
