The RP220 provides clear sonic quality and performance
for the working musician, studio operator or
anyone who needs a preamp with a warm, smooth,
analog sound. Each channel utilizes one premium 7025
tube in a unique configuration to give smooth controllable
gain through transformer balanced inputs. The unit
has both XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs with a 30 dB
Pad and a Phase Reversal switches to adapt to any
performing or studio situation.
WHY TUBES?
Because they sound great! Vacuum tube circuits have
a natural warming effect on audio signals because they
react differently than solid state devices and will not
reproduce sharp transients in the music. The result of
adding a Bellari tube processor or preamp to your signal
is a smooth round sound. Preamps or signal processors are designed to provide low noise gain or effects to microphones and instruments without coloring or distorting the sound in an unpleasant way. The audio signal can go directly from a Bellari tube processor to the recorder, thus bypassing any additional solid state circuits of a mixer. Tube preamps and processors have gained in popularity to counteract the “digital sound” of contemporary digital recording equipment which may sound harsh or brittle. Tube processors are utilized by recording engineers who prefer the “sound” of analog recording equipment, but like the editing and predictability of digital recorders. Bellari tube processors have a more even harmonic structure, adding that analog touch back to the signal, so they just plain sound better.
