Paintpot 2 Channel Preamp
The Paintpot 2 channel preamp
The Paintpot preamp was the first product we designed, back in '93. Since then it's had a couple of makeover's, and now is in it's 3rd incarnation. It's called the Paintpot because it looks like a gallon can of paint, or as some American owners call it, a bucket!
This unique styling however has a purpose. The Paintpot was designed for location, or spot recording, and it's shape means that compared to a 19" rack mounted unit:
- It's easy to carry and place on the floor next to a pair of mics. You can even suspend it from its handle!
- It's easy to connect up to and use, as all the connectors and controls are on the top or high up on the sides. Compare this with a 1U pre sitting on the floor.
- It's built for the job, not for generic industrial racking!
Beyond it's unusual shape, it's packed full of features, and probably is the most neutral amplification you will ever come across. Ever.
Paintpot Options
The Paintpot will work by itself as a traditional mic preamplifier.
However it can also be fitted with or excellent internal ADC, or it can be remote controlled by our compact remote control panel.
Paintpot System Notes
Here's some more detail about our Paintpot 2 channel microphone preamplifier. It was a brand new design in 1992 and it has stood the test of time, requiring minimal tweaking over the years to keep it at the peak of it's game
