WesAudio Phoebe Microphone Preamp

The Phoebe integrates with your DAW via the WesAudio GCon plug-in. This allows you to save and automate your analog settings directly within your session, so you can instantly recall exact preamp configurations for future tracking or mixing.

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard 500-series chassis. However, to utilize the digital recall functionality, you will need to use a WesAudio ng500-compatible chassis that supports the necessary data connection.

The Carnhill transformers provide a classic, British-inspired sound profile. You can expect a rich, musical warmth with a smooth high-end response and a solid, punchy low-end that adds weight to your recordings.

Yes, the unit features a dedicated front-panel Hi-Z instrument input. This allows you to plug your guitar or bass directly into the preamp to take advantage of its Class A circuitry and transformer-coupled signal path.

Switching impedance allows you to change how the preamp interacts with your microphone's output. The 300 Ohm setting often provides a darker, more colored sound, while the 1200 Ohm setting offers a more open, transparent, and modern frequency response.

While primarily designed as a microphone preamp with 75dB of gain, the unit is versatile enough to handle various sources. You can use the Hi-Z input for instruments or run line-level signals through it to add analog character and transformer saturation to your tracks.
