Hand-built in Spain by expert engineers and designers, the Flavour Preamp, Mint is constructed with studio-grade components that provides crystal clear sound quality. Featuring an audio-optimised Lundahl input transformer, the Mint Preamp boasts a fast transient attack for a bright and airy tone. The transformer amplifies the signal by passing it through a copper winding around a metal core, this creates the amplification of the signal and when paired with the germanium diodes, you can expect to hear lots of musical harmonics and colour that gives the Mint its signature sound. After being carefully constructed, each unit is calibrated before shipping to establish that the gain curves, signal to noise ratio and THD levels are up to standard, ensuring you get the best performance from your Mint as possible.
Please note: If you want to use the Flavours Preamps with condenser microphones or with active (phantom-powered) ribbon microphones, you will have to use an external phantom power source to feed your microphone. Phantom Power will not reach the microphone with a Flavour Preamp.
