PreSonus launched the ADL 700 last week — a Class A tube preamplifier with a FET-based compressor and a four-band semi-parametric equalizer that has separate balanced XLR mic, balanced XLR line, ¼” TS instrument inputs and a single balanced XLR output.

Features include an input source select switch with variable mic-input impedance that enables you to choose among signal sources and patches the selected input through the signal chain, selectable mic-input impedances: 1500Ω, 900Ω, 300Ω, and 150Ω, plus 48-Volt phantom power, polarity reverse and a -20 dB pad. In addition, it provides variable mic-input gain, employing an 8-position rotary switch that provides 35 dB of gain in 5 dB increments and a trim potentiometer (±30 dB) that allows you to make fine adjustments to the final preamp stage of the ADL 700 inputs.

PreSonos specifies a -12 dB/octave high-pass filter with a frequency threshold that can be set at 20 Hz, 40 Hz, 80 Hz or 200 Hz, or can be turned off completely.

Its list price is $1,999. Here are all the specs.
