A "Console" Character Preamp in a 500 Series Format
The Harrison Audio 32CPRE+ is designed for sound engineers and home studio users seeking an immediately identifiable color: a tactile sensation in the lows, natural openness in the mids, and a soft brightness that avoids harshness. Its Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer contributes to this "silky" sound thanks to its subtle behavior at the spectrum edges and a very slight phase shift typical of transformer-based stages. The result: a preamp that can be confidently placed on a wide variety of sources.
For Which Recordings and Studio Profiles?
Thanks to its wide gain range, the 32CPRE+ is suitable for both dynamic and condenser microphones, in studio settings as well as spoken voice, podcast, or singing recordings. The high-pass and low-pass filters are ideal for quickly cleaning a take (rumble, proximity effect, sibilance, or excess air) before conversion, while maintaining a simple and efficient workflow. The phase inversion facilitates multi-mic setups (snare top/bottom, guitar amp with dual mics, overheads), and the LED peak indicator helps optimize levels without unwanted clipping.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Harrison 32CPRE+ work with dynamic and condenser microphones?
Its wide gain range allows the use of both dynamic and condenser microphones. The switchable +48 V phantom power is provided for condenser models.
What sound does the Jensen transformer in the 32CPRE+ provide?
The Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer adds body in the low end, midrange openness, and a smooth brightness, with a slight phase shift typical of transformer-equipped stages.
Can a guitar or bass be connected directly?
The built-in DI input uses a combo XLR/6.3 mm jack socket. A Hi-Z impedance switch allows direct connection of guitar, bass, or synthesizer.
What filters are available on this 500 series preamp?
High-pass and low-pass filters are integrated. They help reduce rumble and proximity effect, and can also tame sibilance or excessive air before conversion.
Does the 32CPRE+ facilitate multi-mic recordings?
Phase inversion helps correct polarity issues on multi-mic setups, such as a snare top/bottom configuration. A peak LED monitors the level to prevent unwanted clipping.
