The VHD+ Pre module is an immensely versatile recording and processing device. It can deliver ultra clean SSL SuperAnalogueTM grade recordings but also features a switchable VHD mode. SSL's patented Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD) system uses a 100% analog signal path to generate rich harmonic distortion. Increase VHD input gain and the Variable Harmonic Drive process introduces either 2nd or 3rd harmonic distortion or a blend of the two to your source material. At lower gain settings it adds gentle valve-style warmth or a touch of transistor edge. As the gain is increased the more extreme the distortion becomes, until at high gain settings it delivers fierce trashy transistoresque grunge. The VHD+ Pre module gives the user ultimate versatility from a studio grade preamp. Whether it's ultra-clean traditional SSL, subtle warming or totally trashy transistor distortion, VHD will change your expectations of what a preamplifier should deliver. Key features • SSL SuperAnalogueTM grade preamp • 2nd order harmonics (valve warmth to extreme distortion) • 3rd order harmonics (transistor edge to totally trashed) • Absolute control via 2nd and 3rd order harmonic blend • Variable Harmonic Drive (VHD) in\/out switch • Switch-able LF Filter • +48V phantom power • Phase invert switch • PAD switch • Hi_Z switch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stage that decides what your converters get.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete or tube gain stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean headroom at high gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles ribbons and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack mountable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Solid State Logic VHD+ Preamp 500 Module?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA microphone preamp does more than make a signal louder.
