TL Audio Ivory 5050 MKII

TL Audio 5050 Mono Valve Preamp & Compressor

The Ivory 5050 came directly from user requests for a simple yet great sounding valve front end and boasts the winning combination of a mic/line/instrument preamp and mono compressor: making it the most cost-effective way of processing your sources. The new 5050 now features extras including a 30dB pad, hard/soft knee compression modes, a fully balanced line output and an optional digital output.

The 5050 features two valve stages, one in the preamp circuit, and one in the gain control element of the compressor.
These Sovtek valve stages are run from a stabilised 150V DC power supply.
So whether it's your best microphone, your vintage Strat or your latest sample, don't trust it with anything less than the TL Audio 5050.
