Presentation
The Pure Drive Quad preamp is built to last. It is built around a digitally-controlled analogue architecture, offering flawless precision and consistency across all channels.
Its notched potentiometers and electronic switches simplify recall and improve the precision of settings.
The Pure Drive Quad preamp is equipped with PureDrive mic preamps, with their characteristic warm, harmonically rich, saturated sound.
These preamps have 4 different impedance levels, allowing engineers to explore new horizons or to match the impedance of the microphone used as closely as possible.
Each preamp features independent +48V phantom power, polarity inversion and a high-pass filter. All are independently switchable between three distinct modes: Clean, Classic Drive and Asymmetric Drive.
SSL's Pure Drive Quad preamp offers full connectivity to meet the needs of the most demanding sound engineers.
It has four XLR/jack combo inputs, four Hi-Z/DI instrument inputs, three D-Sub connectors for line inputs, as well as insert sends and returns.
The insert returns and analogue-to-digital conversion inputs operate at up to +24dBu line level, for direct interconnection with other professional equipment.
The Pure Drive Quad studio preamp is a high-quality professional tool, offering great flexibility and exceptional sound.
It's perfect for recording engineers looking for a versatile, high-performance mic preamp.
