The 5001 4-Channel Tube Mic Preamp offers four top-quality valve mic preamps in a single 2U package, and now boasts extra features including a discrete mic preamp stage, 30dB pad, instrument DI inputs, improved metering, and optional 24-bit digital output. The 5001 preamp's combination of sound and functions is guaranteed to bring out the best in any microphone from a low cost dynamic to a vintage large capsule condenser. Separate input and output level controls allow the valve stages to be driven harder if necessary for increased warmth, while still allowing the overall output level to be regulated-absolutely essential if recording direct to tape. The TL Audio 5001's output fader permits anything from complete attenuation through to +15dB of extra output gain-making it ideal for driving today's high-level digital recorders.Each channel of the 5001 preamp employs one half of an ECC83/12AX7A Sovtek dual-triode valve, run from a stabilized 150V DC supply. The valve stage is positioned just after the initial discrete mic preamp stage.About TL Audio TL Audio began manufacturing audio products in 1990, when the company - founded by Tony Larking - was largely involved in the restoration and re-selling of vintage equipment such as Neve and Trident recording consoles. The first TL Audio products were original Neve EQ modules, which were taken principally from broadcast consoles and re-packaged to make them suitable for music production studios. Shortly after this Tony Larking was introduced to David Kempson, a leading designer at Neve for nine years. By 1993 the demand for used valve outboard equipment had become very strong but most models such as the original Pultec and Fairchild valve devices were already extremely rare and expensive. There appeared an obvious gap in the market for brand new affordable valve products and the result was TL Audio s first valve product - the EQ-1 Dual Valve Equalizer. This product revolutionized the studio market by offering reliable, flexible, great sounding valve processing that was within the budget of most studios. The EQ-1 quickly attracted the interest of mainstream engineer/producers, with the first two production models going to Roy Thomas Baker (who had produced many of Queen and Foreigner s early recordings) and Chris Porter (who was working with George Michael and Take That).The EQ-1 was the first of what became known as the Classic range, and was followed by what has become possibly TL Audio s best known product - the C-1 Dual Valve Compressor, which shot to stardom as Chris Fogel s mixdown compressor on Alanis Morissette s multi-million selling Jagged Little Pill album. The Ivory Series With the Classic range expanding to include more models, the growth in popularity of affordable digital recorders and mixers heightened the appetite for valve processing, which led to lower-cost ranges such as the Ivory models. The Ivory series of preamps, equalizers and dynamics devices has become TL Audio s best
