TRUE Systems announces the P-SOLO Ribbon, a single-channel microphone preamplifier that uses the circuitry of TRUE Systems' more expensive multi-channel preamplifiers with tweaks to maximize the performance of ribbon and dynamic microphones, both vintage and contemporary.
The P-SOLO Ribbon exhibits the same accuracy and transparency of the multi-channel Precision 8, but its low price puts the unit within reach of a multitude of users in studio, location, and live sound applications. The P-SOLO Ribbon has already garnered several awards since its informal introduction at AES in San Francisco and is scheduled to ship early this year.
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 offering 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.
Tim Spencer, CEO and principal engineer for TRUE Systems commented, "The P-SOLO Ribbon is destined to capture a wide audience. 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. Everyone will appreciate the fact that we are now delivering direct to dealers from our Tucson manufacturing facility and have been able to lower the price on the P-SOLO and the P-SOLO Ribbon as a result. Users can expect the very best in preamplification for a modest MSRP of $745!"
