Aretha

Designed with flexibility in mind, Aretha MKII XLR is a classic tone control, 6SL7 based tube preamplifier with true balanced in and outputs, housed in a custom wood chassis.

The preamp and power supply circuits are identical to our RCA version Aretha MKII.

Various customizations are available, such as a loudness switch and an infrared remote volume control. Please note: The loudness function is not available with the remote volume control!

We can also offer a tone control DEFEAT switch, which takes the tone controls completely out of the circuit. This is for those listening sessions where you prefer to have a 'classic' line preamp.

Please see the price listing for all the available options below, just simply add the option/s you'd like for yor Aretha MKII XLR.
