Transformer based class A design...  This thing looks sweet!

yeah it does, but 1440 per unit...and how would you power it in the field. man could you imagine running [insert your favorite mics] into that infront of a 722 at 24/96...

and how would you power it in the field.

it runs on 12V DC.

Neat - Almost more of a mini mixer design...Gain + Trim controls...

I presume that gives you a finer bit of control...

1440 isn't too bad.

the V2 was well over 1200 when it was new....

nice find bos!

that's a hell of a price for 2 channels of never preamplification. 

i want one (or 6)

1440 is also the price on the neve site, im sure it will retail for less (that is, if neve retails, do they?)

im not arguing with the cost, just sayin its way out of my range

I've been on the phone with em all morning so consider your idea stolen.

EDIT: Shouldn't you be sleeping?

[heath]

you can just send it my way, since your personal text says you don't have any mics right now... 

[fozzy]

Actually i have some mics on loan to me right now.  480's w/ all the caps thanks to spreadheadtom.

Look out the big boys are stepping into the Ring...........Rupert Neve is legendary in the world of preamps......
This is very interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The street price might be lower.......If this turns out to be do-able then look out!!!
