• a transformer balanced microphone input for reliability, ease of use and sound quality
• individual phantom power with LED indication
• DI for direct instrument or line input
• passive switchable EQ for the extreme high and low registers - very practical when tracking
• a 12AT7 vacuum tube run at a proper high tension providing all of the active gain
• switchable PAD control which varies negative feedback around the valve, controlling colour
• solid state, discrete Class A output stage, powered by a high voltage rail for superior headroom and transient response
• switchable output phase
• XLR and TRS balanced outputs

All Sebatron products are designed with reliability and long life in mind.

All units are housed in steel chassis’ with quality hardware. Everything is hand built using single sided circuit boards and discrete components for easy servicing. We refused to use integrated circuits because of their lack of character and other limitations they impose on a circuit. It is easy to produce purity from a chip, but it is nigh on impossible to squeeze out soulful tones. A properly tuned valve circuit (i.e. not a starved tube used as an effect) subtly compresses and harmonically enhances the signal in an organic and musical fashion, providing the warmth and punch associated with tape that is missing from purely digital systems. Sebatron VMP preamps have also proven popular as line level devices for adding organic richness to synths, amp simulators, stem mixes or even over a complete mix
