This innovative preamplifier preserves SSL's typical clarity and power while offering the ability to modulate its tone into a warm, harmonically rich, and controlled sound, whose character evolves with increasing gain. The combination of ORIGIN and the PureDrive™ microphone preamplifier has become an indispensable choice in the most prestigious recording studios worldwide. Whether it's recording the most delicate nuances of a piano concert in PURE mode or adding warmth to a drum recording set to DRIVE, the PureDrive™ microphone preamplifier is an essential companion thanks to its flexibility and exceptional sonic signature.PURE DRIVE QUAD continues this tradition, offering four microphone preamplifiers with ORIGIN's renowned PURE and DRIVE modes, but goes further by introducing a new \"Asymmetric\" DRIVE option, advanced digital connectivity, and an integrated USB interface. PURE DRIVE QUAD offers four different impedance options for the microphone preamplifier inputs, allowing sound engineers to explore various tonal nuances or to match the preamplifier's impedance to the microphone being used. Additionally, each microphone preamplifier features independent +48V phantom power, polarity inversion, and an adjustable high-pass filter. With these features, PURE DRIVE QUAD emerges as one of the most advanced and versatile external microphone preamplifiers available, opening the way for new sonic possibilities and workflows for the most demanding producers and sound engineers.Three tonal shades, one PREPURE DRIVE QUAD is tangible proof of SSL's commitment to cutting-edge analog circuit design. In the signal path of PURE DRIVE QUAD, no electromechanical components such as potentiometers, mechanical switches, or relays are used, thus increasing product longevity and ensuring impeccable matching between all channels, not just between stereo pairs. The use of digitally controlled analog circuits, managed via potentiometers and electronic switches, greatly simplifies setting recall and improves its precision. Each of PURE DRIVE QUAD's microphone preamplifiers can be independently switched between three different DRIVE modes: Clean, Classic Drive, and Asymmetric Drive.The Clean mode features the renowned SSL linear preamplifier with an extremely low noise floor, known for its ability to faithfully capture the source sound with exceptional clarity.The Classic Drive mode is the symmetrical mode that primarily generates odd harmonics, offering the familiar sound found on the ORIGIN console.The Asymmetric Drive mode features a new coloring option specifically designed for the PURE DRIVE range, which emphasizes even harmonics, lending greater depth, color, and transient smoothness.Advanced ConnectivityPURE DRIVE QUAD's advanced connectivity opens up a multitude of recording possibilities. The comprehensive selection of analog and digital inputs\/outputs offers exceptionally high-quality and flexible microphone preamplifiers, whether recording a band in a professional studio or adding warmth to audio tracks in a production context. It is ideal for studio projects but also in outdoor situations where quality cannot be compromised, thanks to the integrated USB audio interface.PURE DRIVE QUAD is equipped with four XLR combo inputs on the rear, four Hi-Z\/DI instrument inputs on the front panel with automatic input detection, and three sets of D-sub connectors for line inputs, as well as send and return for inserts.The PURE DRIVE QUAD's insert return\/ADC inputs operate up to a line level of +24 dBu, allowing for seamless integration with other professional devices. The versatility of PURE DRIVE QUAD's digital connectivity includes an integrated USB audio interface that offers four audio channels to the DAW up to 32-bit\/192 kHz. Additionally, there are two pairs of AES\/EBU outputs and ADAT outputs, providing four channels at 24-bit\/48 kHz. Alternatively, two PURE DRIVE QUAD units can be cascaded via the convenient ADAT LINK IN connection, allowing access to a maximum of eight channels. The AES and ADAT outputs can also be individually re-routed to be fed from the integrated USB audio interface and used as DAW outputs. Finally, there is an auto-regulating word clock input and output for reliable digital clocking.Specifications:•\t4 high-performance 4-channel PureDrive™ microphone preamplifiers•\t+48V phantom power, polarity inversion, and adjustable high-pass filter•\tStepped Gain control up to +65 dB of gain•\t31-step Trim control, with precise 1 dB increments - saturate the signal with the Gain control and then reduce it to an appropriate level using the Trim.•\t3 modes for each preamplifier: Clean, Classic Drive, and Asymmetric Drive•\tMic\/Line input switching - Mic via XLR connector and line via choice of TRS Jack connector or dedicated D-Sub connectivity•\t4 unbalanced Hi-Z\/DI instrument inputs on the front panel with automatic input detection•\t4 impedance options for microphone preamplifier inputs - explore new tonal possibilities with your dynamic and ribbon microphones•\tBalanced analog outputs\/send for external processing•\tProfessional +24 dBu line level insert returns\/ADC•\tAnalog\/digital connectivity via ADAT, AES, and USB - record into your DAW in the way that best suits you•\tAbility to switch ADAT and AES connections to take audio from DAW (USB) outputs instead of the A\/D converter•\tCascading of 2 PURE DRIVE QUAD units via convenient ADAT LINK IN connection•\tUSB audio interface mode - QUAD - 12 in \/ 12 out (@44.1\/48 kHz) - 4 x analog + 8 x ADAT in (via Link in) \/ 4 AES + 8 ADAT outputs•\tStepped pots and digitally controlled analog electronics for precision, stereo matching, and easy recall•\tUp to 192 kHz and 32-bit conversion, professional I\/O levels (+24 dBu = 0 dBFS).•\tSelectable Auto-Sleep mode•\tAuto-regulating Wordclock In and Out","brand":"Solid State Logic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58010752254297,"sku":"729744X1","price":973.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/3633\/6985\/files\/puredrive-quad.png?v=1778214392","url":"https:\/\/yourmusiconline.it\/en\/products\/solid-state-logic-puredrive-quad","provider":"yourmusiconline.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
