Store copies at a reduced price.

An excellent tube microphone amplifier, identical to the RP220 except for the analog meters and gold front. It has been included in several album credits and is in most major studios in LA, Nashville and New York.

It has the smooth yet powerful characteristics that drive vocal tracks forward, warm up any digital mix and provide up to 6dB more gain. The crisp sound quality is achieved by driving the tubes with a high 250 volt plate voltage.
