Preamp Overview
Crookwood have been making remote controlled hi quality preamps, since 1992.
Choosing a Crookwood Remote Controlled Preamp
It's pretty easy: We've got 2 models, the Paintpot and the iPre. They are designed for different applications, but they actually have identical preamp and ADC circuits inside. When we say identical, we mean it: becuase our products are all modular, they actually have the same preamp card and ADC card, so both products sound identical
This article helps you decide which Crookwood remote controlled preamp would suit your needs the best.
Paintpot 2 channel Portable Preamp
The Paintpot was our first ever product, and now in it's 3rd incarnation, it's the best ever. Ideal for cross paired stereo mic-ing, or studio spot mic-ing, the Paintpot's clean neutral sound makes it an ideal choice for acoustic recording.
