The IGS Audio Vanad 500 is a high-quality mic/instrument preamp designed in the API 500 standard. Featuring IGS custom-made transformers, this preamp offers transformer-balanced inputs and outputs for pristine audio quality. Equipped with stepped switches for precise control, it’s ideal for recording a wide range of sources, from guitars and keyboards (via the front Hi-Z input) to dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones.

With separate gain and output control, the Vanad 500 allows for maximum flexibility, ensuring you can drive the unit while preventing overload in the signal chain. This preamp also features a handy high-pass filter (HPF) with selectable settings, phantom power, and inputs accessible from both the front and back of the unit.
