The CX7 represents four years of research and development to produce a no compromise, extremely high quality microphone preamplifier. Features include: Class "A" discrete operation, Swedish made Lundahl audio transformers on the inputs and outputs. All gold connectors, relay and gain switches throughout the signal path. 24 position stepped ladder type gain switch, employing only 1 resistor per setting for minimum noise. LED VU meter with latching peak hold leds for clip and -3db. Direct 1/4" unbalanced input jack. Talc filled "soft touch" collet knobs. The highest quality components available have been auditioned and chosen for this circuit based purely on double blind listening tests and not cost. The Origin CX7 uses Vishay bulk metal foil and Holco resistors, Solen and Limited time offer
