Description

The Hazelrigg Industries VDP is a handcrafted 2 channel vacuum tube microphone preamplifier designed for professional recording environments where clarity, depth, and musical character are essential. Built around a classic tube-driven signal path, the VDP delivers a smooth and natural sound that complements vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, and a wide range of studio sources. Its carefully engineered design combines the warmth associated with vintage tube equipment with the reliability and consistency expected in modern recording studios.

Each channel features transformer-balanced microphone inputs, selectable phantom power, polarity reversal, a high pass filter, and a switchable input pad for handling a variety of microphones and recording situations. A convenient front-panel combo input also allows direct connection of instruments for quick tracking sessions. The intuitive attenuation control gives engineers the flexibility to shape clean recordings or add a subtle sense of character and saturation when pushed harder, making the VDP equally comfortable in transparent recording chains or more colorful productions.

The VDP is assembled with premium components and individually tested to ensure long-term reliability and consistent sonic performance. Fully regulated power supplies, low-noise tube operation, and robust construction make it a dependable centerpiece for studios seeking a refined analog front end with a timeless recording character.
