TUCSON, ARIZONA: TRUE Systems announces that the P-SOLO Ribbon, a single-channel microphone preamplifier that uses the circuitry of TRUE Systems' acclaimed multi-channel preamplifiers, but with additional gain and tweaks to maximize the performance of ribbon microphones, is now shipping.
The P-SOLO Ribbon produces superior sonic results with either vintage or contemporary ribbon microphones, as well as dynamic mics. The P-SOLO Ribbon has already garnered several awards since its introduction.
Like its sibling, the P-SOLO, the P-SOLO Ribbon uses the same balanced, transformerless, and uncompromising circuitry that has earned the TRUE
Systems Precision 8 and the P2 Analog the respect of the professional audio community.It is built with military-grade, hand-matched components and
delivers an undistorted response that dips down to 1.5Hz and reaches up to 500kHz, and offers a wide dynamic range with excellent transient response
and low noise. Features include high-pass filtering, dual analog outputs, high-impedance instrument input, and four-level metering. The P-SOLO Ribbon
differs from previous TRUE Systems products in ways that make it ideal for ribbon and dynamic microphones. It has no phantom power, which is
unnecessary for and potentially damaging to ribbon microphones, and it has even higher input impedance and gain capability than other TRUE Systems
designs. Higher input impedance makes the P-SOLO Ribbon immune to sonic variations caused by ribbon resonance frequencies that alter the output
impedance of the ribbon microphone at those frequencies.
Tim Spencer, CEO and principal engineer for TRUE Systems commented, "The P-SOLO Ribbon is destined to capture a wide audience among those who favor
ribbon mics for particular applications. Major studios that have turned out Grammy-winning records with our Precision 8 will want to dedicate it to
their ribbon microphone applications. Owners of studios that demand quality but need fewer input channels will appreciate its low price. Location
recordists and live sound engineers will value its compact size, ruggedness and portability. And, the fact that we are now delivering direct to dealers
from our Tucson manufacturing facility has resulted in lower pricing on the P-SOLO and the P-SOLO Ribbon. Users can expect the very best in preamplification for a modest MSRP of $745!"
TRUE Systems, Tucson, Arizona designs and manufactures high-value, high-end professional audio products for the domestic and international marketplace.
