DRS-1, Half-Rack Mono Mic Pre & DI

The DRS-1 is a half-rack mono mic preamp and DI that allows the natural sound of both modern and vintage instruments to shine as it adds enhancements to the signal. Sweeten the sound of your synths, drum machines and even laptops by adding sparkle or growl from the DRS-1.

The DRS-1 takes a modern approach to Class-A circuit design to deliver a wide range of tones without sacrificing the beloved vibe of true Class-A design. The unique DRS circuit can go from ultra-clean sounds suitable for audiophile recordings all the way to the warm, saturated tones reminiscent of the UK's most heralded vintage designs. Versatility and superior sound have made the DRS-1 Preamp/DI a top-tier choice for engineers around the world and a modern day classic.

Because you're working with a clean, robust, electronically-balanced input signal, the DRS Mic Preamp/DI makes dialing in your exact sound easy, intuitive and quick. By working the familiar stepped input gain control and the -30dB pad against the variable output fader, you can dial in your preferred tones without having to consider an overly complex gain architecture. It's all about driving the versatile DSOP-2 output stage to your exacting tastes.
