{"product_id":"soyuz-lakeside-preamp-400964","title":"Lakeside Preamp","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Console\" Approach: The Choice of Discrete Components and Transformers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the world of studio preamps, fully discrete Class A designs with custom-wound transformers remain a benchmark for those seeking an immediate \"hardware\" feel: substance, dynamic load handling, and progressive harmonic saturation when pushing the gain. This architecture emphasizes the signal path, with particular care given to the input and output stages to achieve a robust, detailed, and coherent sound, whether on a solo vocal or in a dense mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntended Uses and Profiles\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1-channel preamplifier is aimed at demanding home studios, recording studios, and producers who want a \u003cstrong\u003epremium channel\u003c\/strong\u003e for main sources. It excels on vocals (pop, rap, voice-over), acoustic guitars, overheads, strings, or any source where presence without harshness is desired. Its front-panel DI input also makes it an excellent choice for capturing bass or guitar with a stable signal before processing (amplifiers, simulations, reamping).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring recording, the high-pass filter helps save time in mixing: unnecessary low frequencies (footsteps, air conditioning noise, mic stand vibrations) are eliminated at the source while preserving the instrument's body. The 19-inch format facilitates rack integration, whether in a fixed control room or mobile setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features: Gain, Filter, and Headroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eGain Boost: From Finesse to Impact\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gain Boost from 10 to 60 dB in 5 dB steps allows quick and repeatable adjustment. This is particularly useful in the studio when switching between microphones and sources or recalling a session. The gain range covers both weak signals and very close miking while maintaining a sense of control over transients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInductive High-Pass Filter: Musical Low-End Cleanup\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inductive high-pass filter, with an 18 dB per octave slope, offers a cutoff frequency range from 40 to 330 Hz. This allows for a \"surgical\" cutoff for vocals (rumble, vibrations) or a higher cutoff to clear space for bass and kick drum. The inductive approach aims for a natural and musical behavior, highly appreciated when cleaning without impoverishing the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFront-Panel DI: Instruments and Machines Directly into the Preamp\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the 6.3 mm Jack DI input, an instrument can be connected without an external direct box. With a DI input impedance specified above 1 MOhm, the preamp is suited to preserve the attack and brightness of a guitar or bass while providing a solid foundation for subsequent processing (compression, saturation, amp sim).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadroom and Output Level: Comfortable Margin\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a maximum output rated up to +27 dBu at 0.2 percent THD and +31 dBu at 1.5 percent THD, this preamp is designed to handle high levels. This margin helps maintain dynamics, avoid transient squashing, and intentionally choose the point where character is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRack unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain Boost\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10 to 60 dB in 5 dB steps\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (+\/-0.5 dB) (40 dB Gain)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInductive high-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e40 to 330 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent input noise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e120 dB (40 dB Gain)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutoff filter slope 18 dB per octave (-3 dB)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e40, 55, 70, 90, 120, 150, 180, 220, 270, 330 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e\u0026lt;
