Hybrid vacuum tube mic preamp in an affordable 500 format.
$1,199.00
The DVA is a hybrid microphone preamplifier based on the Hazelrigg Industries VLC and D.W. Fearn VT-2 preamp. Utilizing a single 6072a vacuum tube, the input circuitry matches the VLC/VT-2 input stage exactly and features transformers in both the input and output stages.
Make-up gain is provided by a low-THD/high output solid state signal path (as opposed to the vacuum tube circuits in the VLC/VT-2) due to the module size and power supply limitations inherent in the 500 series format. Total gain available is approximately 60db.
User tips: Many condensers have a high output and require an input pad to avoid overloading the input transformer. If needed, we suggest using the pad on the microphone if available.
Users looking for ‘saturation’ can try engaging the -20 db pad and sending the DVA an attenuated signal, then adjust gain for tone and output.

With backgrounds in live performance and production, brothers Geoff Hazelrigg and George Hazelrigg approach the design and manufacturing of studio equipment from the perspective of the artists, with a deep understanding of the goals and challenges they face.
While the Hazelrigg Brothers often work in beautifully outfitted studios (or truck racks of gear into less well-equipped venues), they found that many of their colleagues were facing very different obstacles. With changes in production methods, more and more tracks were being cut in bedrooms and hotel rooms, on headphones or unfamiliar monitor systems, with the resulting audio showing the marks of these inconsistencies.
Hazelrigg Industries addresses these challenges by hand crafting recording equipment which not only delivers superlative sonics but also allows engineers and producers to work quickly, efficiently, and - most importantly - musically to achieve their goals at the highest levels.
