New Multi Z Instrument Preamp from Little Labs
October 14, 2003
At AES, Little Labs introduced the Multi Z Professional Instrument Pre-amp 3.0. The Multi Z PIP 3.0 is a completely updated, refined replacement for the Little Labs Multi Z Direct Box.
Little Labs added so many features to the original Multi Z Direct Box, they couldn't call it just a direct box anymore. Every custom mod that was asked of Little Labs over the past ten years, of which there were many, has been incorporated into the new, but still compact, Multi Z PIP. Use it as a super instrument pre-amp, use it as a re-amp, use it as a DI, use it as a mini instrument mixer, use it all together at once.
Features and user selectable settings include:
- Balanced line level transformerless output, as well as...
- Line level transformer isolated output (optional mic transformer)
- Instrument impedance/level pick-up emulation transformer output
- Pre transformers insert (use pro gear before your guitar amp)
- Volume expression pedal insert option
- Summing inputs, allowing up to 3 extra inputs to combine with the main input
- Completely separate re-amp circuit allows not only proper vintage effect interfacing, but gain make up for effective use on a console insert
The Multi Z PIP 3.0 is available direct from Little Labs for $600. Rack mount multi channel versions
are also available. For more information, visit their web site at www.littlelabs.com. |
