Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier
®
dbx Professional Products has been redefining the stan-
dard of Professional Signal Processing for 30 years. From
the 386 Tube Microphone Preamp to the 586 Dual
Channel Tube Microphone Preamp, dbx has been the
Professional’s choice when it comes to the clas-
sic sound of tube microphone preamps.
In this same tradition, dbx is proud to intro-
duce the all-new Mini-Pre Vacuum Tube
Microphone Preamp. The Mini-Pre takes the
classic dbx Tube Microphone Preamp sound
and puts it in an easy to use, compact, afford-
able package. With the new dbx Mini-Pre
Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamp you will no
longer need to compromise tone for affordability.
Classic dbx Tube Microphone Preamp tone, portability and affordability are the hallmarks of this new micro-
phone preamp from dbx. From its uncompromising crystal-clear, high-bandwidth, low-noise circuitry, to its
road-worthy construction, the Mini-Pre offers a feature set that includes: a hand- selected, Soviet-made pre-
mium 12AX7 vacuum tube to add warmth and tone to any microphone signal, selectable 48 volt phantom
power, 20 dB Pad and Phase reverse switch, the new Vacuum Tube Mini-Pre has the features that you would
