Amek 9098S Microphone Double Preamplifier with Equalizer
Purists might say they would like to set everything flat in the hope that this might provide a ‘natural’ or unprocessed sound. In nature, however, nothing is flat. Every sound they hear has been influenced by acoustic or mechanical resonances, be they from rooms, instruments, loudspeakers, microphones, or other sources. The finest musical instruments have achieved their qualities through years – sometimes centuries – of listening and adjusting resonances, and therefore, the generic frequency response and attendant shifts in phase. AMEK has never been reluctant to employ a good equalizer to get musically desirable results! The System 9098 EQ is a high performance equalizer and preamplifier designed to originate microphone signals of the highest quality and to process signals generally in terms of frequency response. The circuitry is based on the research Mr. Neve put into the early 9098 console, and the approach bears many similarities to that used in the 9098. Paramount importance has been given to the sonic quality of the audio path, taking great care to retain the highly-prized musical character of the famous old designs of this pedigree.
