A Designs EM-Silver

The A Designs EM-Silver mic preamp module is part of the company’s line of unique modules, each with their own “color” – both sonic and visual. The EM-Silver’s custom-wound steel output transformer gives you a slightly “darker” sound than the other preamps in the line, adding a distinctive tonal flavor that’s useful in any mix. You get quality features such as a 20dB pad, phase switch, 48V phantom power, aluminum gain knob, and thumb screws for easy install and un-install in the EM-Silver mic pre module. A Designs EM-Silver Module at a Glance:

• Part of a colorful line
• Ribbon-mic friendly
• DI input

Part of a colorful line: The A Designs “EM Series” is a twist on their popular Pacifica-based P-1 module. Each color (Silver, Blue, Red, and Gold) has its own sound, which is accomplished by using different custom wound output and input transformers. This gives you a large palette of preamp “coloration” to add to the sound of your favorite microphones or instruments. A good partner for ribbon mics: The A Designs EM-Silver has a custom wound steel output transformer which will translate into a darker sound than the P-1, EM-Red, and EM-Blue. A Designs EM-Silver is a good match for ribbon microphones, partly due to the fact that steel transformers were widely used in the early days of recording and broadcast along with ribbon microphones. DI input: Another feature of the EM-Silver is a “DI” (direct inject) for use with electric instruments, making it a great pre for bass guitar and keyboards. It’s also useful for kick drum miking applications. A Designs EM-Silver Module Features:
