Four channel microphone preamplifier with ultra-high-speed input stage and Edcor output transformer
The Auteur Quad is the four channel version rack mount of our ever popular Auteur MK2 preamp. The Auteur preamp has become a studio staple over the last decade and is know for its fast, transparent IC based front end while also providing a fat, colorful back end via edcor transformers. This mixture of vintage and modern design approaches has led the Auteur to be known as the "Swiss army knife of preamps" that sounds great on everything. It especially shines on sources that require detail but also benefit from some thickness such as drums or vocals. Some of the major additions to the Quad over the 2 channel half rack unit would be the all new meters on all four channels as well as borrowing the loved DI circuit from our 500 series Auteur on the first 2 channels. This feature set as well as channel count gives you one of the most affordable preamps in the world at an unbelievable price.

Really impressed by these preamps, they're very clean without being sterile. They're clear but there's still a beefy low-end without being wooly. They work well on a variety of sources (tried bass, guitar, vocals) haven't had the opportunity to try them on drums. Lire plus
Very basic in terms of functionnality but excellent sound-wise.
Je suis vraiment impressionné par les preamps. C'est très clean sans être stérile, c'est clair mais y a quand même un bon low-end sans être wooly. À date ça fonctionne bien sur pas mal toutes les sources que j'ai essayé (voix, bass, guit). Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de l'essayer sur des drums (je l'ai acheté surtout pour ça). Je trouve que ça se compare avec d'autres preamps bcp plus chers niveau son, par contre c'est sur que c'est vrmt basic niveau fonctionnalité (you get what you get, pas manière de tweaker).
