Hazelrigg Industries VLC

The Hazelrigg Industries VLC is a powerful all-tube preamp, EQ, and DI combination designed to meet the sonic demands of modern audio professionals. This solution-packed unit offers world-class performance while remaining compact enough to fit into an overhead bin, making it perfect for both studio and live settings.

The Hazelrigg Industries VLC uses the same legendary preamp and power supply design as the VT series from D.W. Fearn, offering exceptional transparency and headroom. It delivers outstanding results with dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones. The unit features a rotary switch that allows for seamless switching between Microphone, Instrument Input (DI), and the Balanced Line Level Input on the rear panel. The DI path is perfect for acoustic instruments, electric bass, and modular synths, while the Line Level Input provides easy integration as an insert in your mixer or DAW, breathing new life into tracks during production or mixing.
