The most sought after preamp for the last 10 years, the popular Auteur MK2 is now available in the Auteur Quad four channel rack mount version. A studio staple, the Auteur preamp has become known for its fast, transparent IC based front end while also providing a fat, colorful back end via edcor transformers. This mixture of vintage and modern design approaches has led the Auteur to be known as the “Swiss army knife of preamps” that sounds great on everything.
The Auteur preamp especially shines on sources that require detail but also benefit from some thickness such as drums or vocals. Some of the major additions to the Quad over the 2 channel half rack unit would be the all new meters on all four channels as well as borrowing the loved DI circuit from our 500 series Auteur on the first 2 channels. This feature set as well as channel count gives you one of the most affordable preamps in the world at an unbelievable price.

It's good if you want
It's good if you want more clarity and high-end for instruments and vocals. I would not recommend using this for live. For Studio purposes, it's not bad if you're looking for more clarity and a mid-high sound.

It sounds great , very easy to get great tone . Just dial in the gain and record . My tracks were very easy to mix . Works very well for toms . I have also used it for bass and that sounds good as well . I would recommend these pre amps for sure. Very good value

Solid thick sound
Clear separation between close mic, over heads and room mic, nothing to envy from the Neve preamps, really well built hardware
