Preamp

The Camden EC1 is a professional-grade studio microphone preamp, awarded for its exceptional sonic transparency. Designed for demanding sound engineers, musicians, and producers, it delivers up to 68.5 dB of ultra-clean gain, ideal for low-gain dynamic mics and ribbon mics.

Equipped with a high-power headphone amplifier with a built-in mixer, the Camden EC1 delivers latency-free mastering-quality monitoring. With its unique "Mojo" feature, you can switch between clinical transparency or add a customizable vintage analog warmth.

It's a versatile, high-performance tool, perfect for studio recording, mixing, and mastering.
