Contacta con nosotrosSpectra 1964 STX 100 D rebuilds the microphone channel from the Spectra Sonics consoles made between 1964 and 1971 and fits it into a single 500 series slot. Instead of one gain stage it runs two 101 amplifier modules together with US-made input and output transformers.
Old console tone without owning the console
Original Spectra Sonics desks survive in a handful of rooms worldwide and cannot realistically be kept in service. The STX 100 D repeats the same circuit in a package over 75% smaller and drops into any 500 series rack, so the same character is available on a pair of snare channels without maintaining vintage hardware.
Transformers on both ends of the path
An input transformer and an output transformer together produce a midrange density that a preamp with iron on one side only does not reach. A three-position pad plus continuously variable input and output controls let you place the operating point deliberately: back off for clarity, drive harder when a vocal should thicken on the louder phrases. With 64 dB of gain on tap, low-output ribbons and dynamics are not an issue.
