While using this feature, you are even still able to use each of the first 8 module's outputs like you normally would, with their own outputs into your DAW or Tape machine. You can set up the Moiyn 8x2 mixer module in 4 easy steps.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eSimply add any 500 Series modules to slots 1-8 of your Sweet Ten\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMake sure that the Moiyn is placed in slot 9 of the rack\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eYou can then assign each module (in 1-8) to either of the 2 outputs by using the buttons on the front of your Moiyn\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinally, use the rotary knob to adjust output volume to your liking!\u003c\/li\u003e\nOur custom hexifiliar output transformers provide two stereo transformer isolated outputs. One pair of outputs appears on the two output XLRs for slot 9. The Moiyn has internal jumpers to feed the second pair of outputs to slot 10. With the jumpers enabled, you can feed a Cans headphone amp in slot 10 automatically, without patching any cables in the back. Because of the Cans' bridging transformer inputs, the pair of input XLRs on slot 10 can also be used as a second set of stereo outputs (with the input of the Cans multed to that output).\n\u003cp\u003eThe inputs for slot 9 (XLR IN\/OPT IN) serves as a stereo input to the Moiyn mix buss for cascading multiple mixers. As an example: take one Sweet Ten with a Moiyn to do your drum submix and cascade that into a second Sweet Ten with a Moiyn for your whole mix. That's a fully discrete 16 channel summing mixer in 6 RU, and you can pick almost any combination of 500 modules as the channel modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel of the Moiyn has two columns of eight illuminated push buttons, for left and right assign for each channel.

The front panel DI helps you record instruments and line level sources with unrivaled clarity and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo LEDs clearly indicate signal level for the gain and output stages at a glance, turning green to indicate signal present, yellow for 10dB below clipping, and red for clipping. The Biz uses two KDJ3 opamps and one KDJ4 opamp.\nFor example, employing the pair of Biz preamps with an Earthworks TC30K close mic'ing the shell of a snare and an Earthworks SR69 on the top head, I was able to add tremendous amounts of crunch to the attack (especially on rimshots) by turning up the Gain and turning down the Level. Conversely, I could soften the whack and bring out the tail (especially in the higher frequencies) by using low input gain followed by higher output gain. Admittedly, I wasn't able to dial in as much snap using the Biz as I could get from my BAE 312A preamp equipped with an Avedis 1122 opamp -- well, at least not straight out-of-the-box -- but I felt I had way more options with the Biz. Plus, by swapping out the Purple Audio KDJ3 opamps for Avedis 1122s, maybe I could Frankenstein the preamp into a hybrid somewhere in-between the out-of-box Biz and a BAE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a Royer SF-12 as a stereo overhead mic for drums, again the Biz was a little softer than the BAE. By hitting the Dual button, I could vary the amount of snare that pushed through, and playing with the Gain and Level knobs affected the tail of the snare and high hat. As a bass DI, the Biz had a wonderful way of mellowing out the performance, as if it were lightly compressing and controlling the upper mids while still letting through plenty of airy top -- no nasty bite here. And the Dual button added a bit of up-front presence. On vocal, I liked how I could soften the sibilance or add graininess on command. With careful tweaking of the front-panel controls, I was able to record some amazingly smooth female vocals using a Royer R-121 feeding the Biz (with lots of gain available) as well as some aggressive male vocals using a Groove Tubes GT50 FET.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording electric guitar is where the Biz really excelled. Using a variety of mics (AKG C 1000S, Groove Tubes GT30 \u0026amp; GT40, Gefell M300 \u0026amp; UMT70S, Royer R-121, SE Electronics SE3) on a variety of amps\/cabinets, I never felt like I had to swap out preamps. Instead, I could vary the amounts of two different flavors of crunch by turning up the Gain and Level knobs, and I could bring the upper mids forward by engaging the Dual switch. Also, during a preamp shootout between the Biz and preamps from API, BAE, A-Designs, Seventh Circle Audio, Great River, Focusrite, and Hamptone, the Biz drew out the glassiest sustain from a GT40 medium-diaphragm tube mic on a Mesa Rocket 44 amp; the tone was just gorgeous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're going to start with one 500-series preamp (or pair), the Biz would top my list of recommendations. It sounds as good as any high-end preamp should, but compared to other modular preamps, the Biz's chameleon-like tonal flexibility makes it much more valuable for multitrack recording. Its build-quality is impeccable as are the reputations of Purple's Andrew Roberts and John Klett as designers and techs. And if you feel like tweaking the sound of the Biz further, each of its three opamp sockets will hold any standard discrete opamp, but there's also a DIP socket underneath each to accept any standard IC opamp instead!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PURPLE AUDIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51468403409215,"sku":"3760","price":1145.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/6931\/1551\/files\/3760_full.jpg?v=1759884350"},{"product_id":"pants-mic-preamp","title":"Pants Mic Preamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pants uses a unique dual-bobbin input transformer from Cinemag unlike any other.

The attenuated signal is buffered by our class A KDJ3 opamp, which feeds the output fader. Lastly, our class AB KDJ4 output opamp drives our custom hexafilar nickel and steel output transformer. The total gain (with no attenuation) is 45dB, just like the MC77.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe attack and release times cover a broader range than the MC77, which can cause distortion... which may or may not be what you are looking for.

Traditional wisdom holds that linear power supplies are ideal for audio and generate less noise and interference.
