Trident B-range

Slice of original console Trident B-range that shares the same discrete preamp which the mythical A-range.
Preamp LINE 5 to -10 and MIC 5 to -60 with phase inverter and 48V power supply. Semi-parametric EQ: 60Hz or 120Hz low switch, switch medium 1.4, 2.8, 4.1, 5.6, 7.0Hz and 8kHz to 10kHz high switch, all with a power of + 16dB to -16dB and a low cut at 50Hz and output volume.

USE

Everything is in front of the eyes, ears and between the hand. The semi-parametric manipulation is a time saver and pre-defined frequencies have been proven on legendary drives. According to the situation is to hire or not choose the EQ because it simply without any settings changes the sound.
The shot below is closer to a roll-off, it releases without removing the bottom and remains inimitable dan the digital world. For example, the pre-amp and the blow-down is the perfect solution to save the quintessence of a voice.
The LINE inputs are perfect to recover without coloration gain. This channel strip is versatile color palette according to sources is larger than Neve or API, for this it should be noted that the EQ will be as rich subtraction as the addition of frequencies.

SOUND QUALITY

Let fire and water, earth and space, metal and plastic. All this is enabled with this installment which has analog that its manufacture and whose mind is at the forefront.
The preamp is neither hot nor cold, it is detailed and majestic in the style of Helios. TR-606 passed in spring as a TR-606. On the vote, it is clear that its qualities become selection criteria and requirements. Ultimate reference for guitars and basses, it goes directly into the preamp like a DI and it was the legendary sound of a real console to Bowie Visconti period. This is a must on hi-hats and some analog electronics.

NOTICE GLOBAL

British Rock to disco, sometimes modern or vintage, we can cite many artists like Cerrone, Queen, Radiohead or Air that mix colors Trident gracefully.
I should add that this jewel has nothing in common other commercial products imitants brand vulgar fashion A-Range consoles, B-range and series 80. Here it speaks well of the ORIGINAL whose finesse and Quality can be concluded wild and without complex settings.
