Sontronics has just announced the release of Sonora, a dual-channel preamp / DI-box with two discrete solid-state channels.
Featuring a proprietary vintage circuit design engineered to recreate a classic sonic character while using modern manufacturing techniques, Sonora provides a very linear response with a variance of just ±0.1dB from 20 Hz to 40 kHz. Both channels are identical, each with a 12-step 'click' level control which makes a simple task of matching levels in stereo applications. Each channel has its own 75Hz high-pass filter, -20dB attenuation and +48 Volt phantom power switches, plus independent Signal & Clip LEDs.
The electronically-balanced inputs will match seamlessly with your favourite mics, guitars and synths while the electronically-balanced outputs ensure that your signal is delivered to your recording or PA system with perfect integrity.
An external mains power supply ensures that the integrity of your audio signal stays free from electrical inductance, plus it is voltage-switchable for use around the world.
Sonora is 100% made in Europe, having been conceived and designed in the UK, and developed and manufactured in Portugal. It costs £399 including VAT in the UK and $699 in the USA.
