the earlybird 4 contains 4 channels of extremely high quality
valve pre-amplification. originally made in black in 1999, this is
a special “revival” limited edition in red (limited to 49 only).
the black edition is still available with the updated
circuitry..
as the individual channel circuitry in this version of the
earlybird has been simplified in order to provide 4 channels in one
19” unit, so the individual channel specifications have risen. thus
making this the most natural sounding, high quality version of the
earlybird preamp to date.
effectively giving the user the cleanest possible valve gain with a
range from 3db to 62db and a switchable input impedance to help in
matching the unit with different microphones.
this is one of thermionic culture’s all handwired products with
point to point wiring throughout.
the circuit design utilises a ‘push pull’ ‘class a’ type of valve
amplification in order to provide ultimately clean gain, giving the
lowest noise and distortion figures possible in a microphone
amplifier.
the input and output transformers have received special attention
and by working together with sowter transformers, designs have been
created that bring better results than ever before. the lowest
phase shift and highest headroom are both benefits brought by these
designs.
it’s unusual to hear a mic amp with the earlybird 4’s qualities and
after years of improvements vic keary proudly declares this “the
best, most real mic. amp ever ”. we hope that on hearing the unit’s
beautiful results yourself, you will agree with vic.
the pair of vu meters show the signal levels for 2 selectable
channels. vu meter a is switchable between channels 1 and 3. vu
meter b is switchable between channels 2 or 4. 4 red leds light up
when the output of the amplifiers exceeds +10 dbm, though don’t
worry – there’s still 20db of headroom left in the earlybird!
