ADP-1
Valve
Analog / digital USB tube preamplifier
The
Waveelite ADP-1 Valve is a high-grade USB tube preamplifier
that is suitable for amplification and sound optimization
of microphones and music instruments due to the usage of latest
analog and digital technology in combination with a superior
audio quality. The ADP-1 Valve can be connected directly to
any computer or laptop (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) via the
on-board USB 2.0 converter. This assures a fast and easy computer
installation with only one cable!
The ADP-1 Valve is equipped with a switchable 48 V phantompower
supply for condenser microphones, a switchable phase reverse
and an adjustable tube saturation circuit. Thus, you can adjust
the tube process in order to give your sound the desired "warmth"
and harmonic overtones. Furthermore, the ADP-1 Valve is equipped
with an adjustable 18 - 300 Hz low-cut filter for reducing
subsonic noise, background rumble or bass drum and deep tom
sounds. These professional features are completed by two vocal
equalizer presets, a limiter processor, a MUTE function, an
effect loop (insert send & return) and two VU meters for
monitoring the input gain and output level.

"The
ADP-1 is surprisingly good equipped for a tube preamp in this
price class. In particular, the vocal EQ, limiter, and tube
saturation should leave nothing to be desired [...]. A preamp
without bells and whistles but with a good sound quality."
