HERITAGE AUDIO LANG-312L | 500 Series | New York Style High-gain Preamp With Lifter

LANG 312L

500-Series NY Style Preamp with Built-In Lifter

Inject some classic, vintage New York City mojo into your recordings with the Heritage Audio LANG 312L, a 500-Series mic preamp with an integrated lifter that provides the in-your-face NY-style sound with super-fast transients that has been proven legendary for drums and guitar.

This preamp sports a gain control (15 to 90 dB) and an integrated lifter that supplies an additional +25 dB of gain, great for gain hungry mics such as ribbons and the SM7. Also included are switches for Phase, +48V phantom power, and a -20 dB pad. The combo XLR-1/4" input provides a balanced XLR input for the microphone and a 1/4" TS instrument DI input.

Note: This is a 500-Series module that requires a 500-Series rack enclosure (sold separately) to provide power and analog input and output. The module will not operate without an enclosure.
