Product no: 5000-0027-3558

Product information

General

The natural evolutionary step for the Neve 5012 Duo, the Neve 5211 Microphone Preamp has a two-channel design supported by the same transformer as the Shelford Channel, guaranteeing the most pure sound in the game. One of the most significant updates is the inclusion of a variable Silk circuit, which is responsible for the sweet saturation added by the Class A output stage, making it possible to drive the harmonic distortion harder than the original 5012 circuit - all while that familiar, crystal clear, open and modern sound remains fully intact. The amplifier circuit has also been further refined and is reinforced by a higher voltage, reducing the noise level and pushing the dynamic range into the stratosphere. Couple that with the Shelford Channel transformer and the preamps can be pushed to the edge without clipping the converters.

The Best of Both Worlds

Other than the Shelford Channel that uses an input transformer to apply a more vintage feel to the sound, the 5211 is transformer free. This means that any incoming microphone signal retains an incredible level of clarity and transparency. In fact, the extreme saturation made possible by the Silk circuit combined with the specially-developed output transformers results in audio that's thick and warm as well as delicate and clear. Basically, this unit seamlessly combines the best of both worlds, so you can opt for flawless transparency when the situation requires it, or opt for more colour by engaging the Silk circuit.
