Mono Valve Processor

Show full description »

In recent years, the analogue voice processor has become an indispensable direct link between microphone and multitrack recorder, enabling engineers to capture the highest quality vocal sound on tape or hard disc - without the compromises in sound quality that most mixing consoles impose. Going straight to multitrack through a well designed voice processor has unlocked the true potential of microphones and transformed the sound of modern vocal recordings.

At TL Audio we’ve long recognised the benefits of this approach, having included high quality mic preamps on every Valve Classics product since the original EQ-1 Dual Valve Equaliser was launched in 1993.

The new VP-1 is the latest addition to the Valve Classics range, and combines all the best elements of the PA-1 pentode preamp, C-1 compressor and EQ-2 parametric equaliser to create a truly flexible and spectacular sounding valve front end for any audio system.

The VP-1 features seven valve stages, run from a stabilised 250v DC supply. The first stage is a Siemens EF86 pentode in the front end of the preamp, followed by six Sovtek ECC83/12AX7A stages - one in the secondary stage of the preamp, one in the compressor and four in the EQ section.

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.

Please select your country/region
