Both share the same proprietary BX3 input transformer and an all-discrete, class-A, direct-coupled, capacitor-free circuit path, giving amazing punch on drums, beautiful tonality on guitars, and warmth with presence on vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth preamps come complete with Gain and Level controls. For that heavy, gainy tone, crank up the stepped gain control and offset it with the level control; for clean tone, turn the gain down and crank up the level. For ribbon mics and other low-impedance sources, use the transformer-coupled impedance select. The 1\/4\" instrument\/line input on the front panel handles DI work, and the PAD switch takes hot signals and balanced line inputs through the mic XLR on the back panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eB1 vs. B1D:\u003c\/b\u003e the B1 uses a nickel-core BX2 output transformer for a cleaner, more open top end, while the B1D swaps in an all-iron BX4 output transformer for extra weight and a darker, more aggressive \"rock\" tone - hence the \"D\". Choose the B1 for warmth and clarity, or the B1D whenever a track calls for heavier iron-core saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burl Audio","offers":[{"title":"B1 (BX2 Nickel)","offer_id":54010481869138,"sku":"B1","price":1390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"B1D (BX4 Iron)","offer_id":54010481901906,"sku":"B1D","price":1390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/2069\/5634\/files\/burl_b1_front.jpg?v=1784198050","url":"https:\/\/www.vonbroenner.de\/products\/burl-audio-b1-b1d-500-series-mic-preamp","provider":"von Brönner - Audiokontor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
