From Elysia Audio

A fine fusion cuisine box with the double power of our creative talent the skulpter 500. This is not only boring Preamp x2. The skulpter is a flexible recording toolbox that meets the whole flavor of creativity including high-class sound-shaping possibilities with filter and saturation stages plus compressor. It’s highly recommended to put this qube in front of your DAW for all your excellent instrument and vocal recordings. With only a few tweaks you will get the highest audio quality for your music.

skulpter 500 is the ultimate recording front end. Its audiophile preamp is based on single resistors controlling a fully discrete Class-A amplifier capable of complementing any microphone with a remarkably true and natural sound.

If additional mojo is needed, two variable saturation/filter stages and an intelligent onboard compressor make voices and instruments sound like a finished record right from the start.

Way more than just a preamp, the skulpter 500 is a complete recording solution – everything you’ll ever need in front of your DAW.
