Lots of people have grown to love the sound of the Aphex 107 and 207
tube mic/instrument preamps. Aphex's patented circuitry prevents tube
overheating to provide a signal with exceptional presence, detail and
clarity. Now the 207 Digital Preamp takes all the great Aphex features
and adds 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters!
Great sounding 2-channel mic preamp and DI
The Aphex Model 207 is an audiophile quality tube mic preamp without
the high cost usually associated with such products. Many users find
the 207 exceeds the performance of preamps costing many times more.
With a 207 in your setup you'll suddenly hear the subtlety and power of
vintage condensers, ribbons, electrets and popular dynamic mics. Even
your most expensive microphones will sound better! The 207's instrument
inputs are also quieter and have more gain than conventional instrument
preamps.
Digital interface for connection to any DAW
With the 207 Digital, Aphex has made it easy to have a great sounding
preamp as the front end for your digital setup. The built-in
24-bit/96kHz digital converters provide outputs in S/PDIF and AES/EBU
formats for connection to an audio interface or directly to your
computer.
Unique limiter circuit increases dynamic range
One thing that makes the 207 Digital so good for DAW recording is
Aphex's exclusive MicLim, the only microphone limiter in the world!
Drawn from the Model 1100 Model 1788 preamps, MicLim offers up to 20dB
gain reduction to prevent overloads - an essential for achieving
maximum dynamic range without distortion. MicLim makes the 207
virtually crashproof!
Ideal for demanding recording situations
The Model 207 captures all the subtleties of voices and instruments
that can be missed by the inexpensive mic preamps found in many mixers
and DAWs. This detail, dimension and space will greatly improve the
overall sound of your recordings. With this improvement in realism
comes an enhanced presence allowing for easier placement in the final
mix. MicLim allows you to utilize every last bit of digital resolution
for the most dynamic recordings possible.
Improves detail and clarity of live vocals
The 207 can bring anything miked up out of the mix by greatly improving
detail and presence. Vocals and instruments will have a noticeable
improvement in clarity and depth when switched to a Model 207. Switch
Mode power supply offers stable performance even with unstable mains.
And the 207's MicLim eliminates those desperate lunges over the mixing
console to trim back overloaded preamps!
2 direct boxes for the price of one!
For bass, acoustic guitar and keyboards the Model 207's low-noise, wide
frequency response and tube warmth allow each instrument's unique
character to be captured. The MicLim circuit works on the instrument
input also, protecting against overload distortion. Plus, a typical
mono tube direct box (DI) sells for about the price of the Model 207 -
and you get two great DIs plus two great mic preamps, more useful
features and Aphex quality all in one box!
