The Ascent circuit can go from ultraclean sounds suitable for audiophile recordings all the way to the warm, saturated tones reminiscent of the UK's most heralded vintage designs. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Hi-Fi Transformerless Mic Input Stage \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The mic preamp's electronically-balanced, transformerless mic input circuit delivers fast transients and the full-frequency spectrum (from sub-bass to the highest air band), while still delivering the full, warm, and smooth characteristics that make engineers love Class-A mic preamps. Boldly outperforming transformer-based designs in both the frequency response and slew rate, the Ascent One EQ delivers articulate, punchy, and full-bodied input signals, allowing you to drive the output stage for a vast range of pure Class-A tones, from bold clarity to vintage warmth and everything in-between. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Transformer-Balanced Output Stage \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The DB694 output transformer is coupled to Phoenix's proprietary, fully discrete DSOP-2 output amplifier. The DSOP-2 is a direct descendent of the venerable TF1 amp which Phoenix's head designer, David Rees, developed as an upgrade for vintage Neve modules. Going beyond the TF1, the DSOP2 is the pinnacle of Class-A output circuit design, offering up a smooth transition from ultra-clean to beautifully saturated tones. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Ultra-High Impedance DI Circuit \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The Ascent mic pre series include very high input impedance DI circuits (10 MOhms) on every channel, remarkably featuring no FETs. This design means that guitar and bass pickups are not loaded, allowing the natural sound of both modern and vintage instruments to shine and enhance the sound, sparkle, and growl as if they were plugged into your favorite amp. Synths, drum machines, and even laptops can likewise be sweetened by the Ascent's DI. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Easy and Intuitive in the Studio \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Working with a clean, robust, electronically-balanced input signal, the Ascent Mic Preamp\/DI makes dialing in your exact sound easy, intuitive, and quick. By working the familiar stepped input gain control (up to 70 dB alone) and the -30 dB pad against the variable output fader (which can also provide an additional 10 dB of gainif you need it), you can dial in your preferred tones without having to consider an overly complex gain architecture. It's all about driving the versatile DSOP-2 output stage to your exacting tastes, whatever they may be in any given moment. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Vari-Filter Control \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Powerful variable high-pass filter from 80 Hz to 400 Hz allowing you the ability to control and shape tones of all types. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e An EQ As Versatile As It Is Unique \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Phoenix Audio's Mono Ascent Gyrator EQ is one of today's most unique and musical EQs, allowing a variety of sounds useful for everything from clean high-headroom mixbus tone-shaping, to deep frequency carving, to smooth Class-A circuit saturation. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e 4-Bands of Gyration \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The modern day Phoenix Ascent Gyrator EQ gives you High, High-Mid, Low-Mid, and Low-frequency bands, each notched to proven frequencies from a shimmering 25 kHz down to 40 Hz. There's also a high-pass filter at 80 Hz, which can eliminate rumble or be used against low-end boosts for an extra range of unique EQ curves (think: Pultec). Even at extreme boosts and cuts, the Ascent Gyrator EQ's musical filters maintain the core quality of your original signal, allowing you to make bold, gut-level EQ moves that won't sound harsh, slurred, or out of phase. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Drive the Output Circuit for More Tone Shaping \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Phoenix Audio's DSOP-2 output amplifier, with its custom wound transformer, can deliver everything from ultraclean signals with abundant headroom to fat, fully-saturated tones. By lowering the input attenuator and boosting the output signal, one can drive the DSOP-2 output stage for a wide variety of lush, Class-A saturation.
