- Aphex 207D - [Stereo Valve Microphone Pre-Amp]
The Model 207D is an audiophile quality tube mic preamp that meets or exceeds the performance of preamps costing many times more. The Model 207D will reveal the subtlety and power of vintage condensers, ribbons, electrets, and popular dynamic mics. Even the world's most respected microphones will sound better. Plus, with its AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital outputs and Word Clock connection, the Model 207D offers direct digital connection throughout your signal chain, with up to 96kHz sampling rates.
The instrument inputs on the Aphex Model 207D also are quieter and have more gain, than conventional instrument preamps. The MicLimT circuitry, previously only available in Aphex's flagship Model 1100 2 channel and Model 1788 8 channel mic preamps, makes the Model 207D virtually crashproof - making it a perfect front end for digital recorders.

- Digidesign - Reel Tape Suite - Reel Tape Delay - [Analog Tape Emulation Effects - TDM]
Psychedelic, Dub, and Electro music styles are hotter than ever, and the warm, ear-pleasing sound of tape-based delay has never been more relevant. Reel Tape™ Delay emulates analog tape echo and delay effects with expertly modeled frequency response, noise, wow and flutter, and distortion characteristics. Reproduce fluctuations in tape speed — both small and large. Even get the full effect of adjusting tape speed during the record/playback process. Delays are fully adjustable over a wide range, and because EQ and detailed level control are built into the echo/delay loop, the feedback controls allow you to dial-in a variety of effects, from tastefully subtle to over-the-top.
- Authentically modeled analog tape echo and delay effects
- Reproduce the fluctuations in tape speed
- Adjust delays from 93 ms to 1,486 ms (1-7/8 ips to 30 ips)
- Feedback control adjusts the amount of delayed output fed back into the input

- Bass and Treble controls in the echo/delay feedback loop allow for subtle to extreme feedback and saturation effects
- Digidesign - Reel Tape Suite - Reel Tape Flanger - [Analog Tape Emulation Effects - TDM]
The reason why most flanger effects sound unconvincing is because the studio technique that they imitate is dependent on so many real-world factors. Reel Tape™ Flanger thoroughly models the tape flanging process and hardware characteristics, and provides an arsenal of controls for shaping the output in real time. The results are as close as you can get to the real thing — and a lot easier to use! The sonic characteristics of frequency response, noise, wow and flutter, and distortion are captured in detail and applied to a variety of tape speed and delay control options. Infamously difficult manual flange and artificial double-tracking (ADT) techniques are simple to re-create. Simply adjust the variable delay manually (or use the LFO and Depth controls) and listen to the captivating frequency sweep and “crossover” cancellation effects heard on so many classic recordings. You also get easy access to tape speed fluctuation and feedback controls.
- Accurately reproduce analog tape machine flanging
- Adjustable speed control allows for manual flanging and artificial double-tracking effects
- Feedback control adjusts the amount of flanged output fed back into the input

- Audient ASP008 - [8 Channel Variable Impedance Mic Pre]
The Audient ASP008 is a compact, 1U rack mount unit featuring eight ultra high quality mic preamplifiers developed from the renowned mic-pre design used in the acclaimed ASP8024 recording console.
The Audient ASP008 features an 8 transistor discrete Class A front end with extended band-width and a noise floor close to the theoretical Johnson limit. Carefully chosen close tolerance components are used to achieve high CMRR at all gain settings and distortion is minimised to less than 0.001% at 20dB gain and +10dBu output. This outstanding technical performance delivers a mic amp with incredible transparency and detail without colouration or other unwanted artefacts.
Each Mic amp also features switchable input impedance, allowing the user to explore the subtle variations in microphone character that are determined by output termination.
All channels include an XLR input, soft start 48V phantom power, switchable input impedance, 25-250Hz hi-pass filter as well as line input selection. Channels 1 and 2 also feature a -20dB attenuator and a high-impedance Instrument/DI input on a front panel mounted jack. LEDs provide indication of signal present and overload.

Test Equipment
- Tektronix 2215 Oscilloscope - [60MHz Dual Timebase]
Tektronix 2215 is a modern portable Dual Trace Oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 60 MHz. Signals are displayed on a large, bright CRT (8 cm x 10 cm/illuminated graticule). Delayed time measurements.
The 2215A can display four traces; vertical channels 1 and 2 at the A sweep rate, and vertical channels 1 and 2, delayed, at the B sweep rate. Many different trigger modes (also TV line and TV field trigger). Auto-intensity and auto focus.
Vertical deflection:
Deflection factor: 2 mV/cm to 10 V/cm; 1-2-5 sequence; continuously variable between steps to at least 25 V/cm.
Display modes: A, B, ADD (normal and inverted), ALT and CHOP (chop rate 250 MHz)
Horizontal deflection:
Time base A: 0,05 µs/cm to 0.5 s/cm; 10x magnifier extends max sweep rate to 5 ms/cm.
Time base B: 0,05 µs/cm to 50 ms/cm; 10x magnifier extends max sweep rate to 5 ns/cm.
Horizontal display modes: A, alternate, B. Electronic switching between intensified and delayed sweep.
Sweep delay: Continuously variable by means of a vernier control.
XY-Operation up to 2 MHz.
