Samson C Valve Tube Microphone PreampThe Samson C Valve adds the warmth of analog tubes to digital recordings.
The Samson C Valve is a true tube preamp that provides pure signal and silky sound. The C Valve features variable gain and variable tube process saturation for adding harmonics. Regardless of which mic you use, it will maintain detail and transparency. 48-Volt phantom power, phase and peak limiter round out the control set. A large analog VU output meter and a 6-segment LED input meter make it easy to adjust the gain. Use its insert points along with a C Class Compressor for a direct path to a gorgeous front end sound. The C-valve provides a digital output as well.
