Hand wound transformers and was fabricated to precisely match vintage counterparts manufactured in the early to mid 70’s. This unit is made with 100% discrete components. The Model 7602 Microphone Preamplifier/Equalizer is based on a classic and revered design utilizing pure Class‘A’ circuitry. Used lightly in my home, smoke free studio.

This whole package new would be over $2200. The mod upgrades the caps to tantalum, and uses upgraded Carnhill transformers, and an upgraded output transitor. And the full zen pro audio mod takes them into another level.

The unit runs at 24v thanks due to the special power supply built into the unit so it offers no sonic sacrifices whilst still maintaining a very low current use needed for the API format and is well within its API VPR limits. It was designed to be identical in terms of features and sonics as the ever popular DRS1 but in a new format. Check out my other auctions for more 500 series! The Phoenix Audio DRS1R/500 is a mono pre amp and DI for the API 500 series. The Most Saturation/Distortion/Awesome out of all of the 500 series.
