spl GoldMike II / Model 2485

Like its successful predecessor, the GoldMike 9844, the GoldMike Mark2 combines the best of the analog world as a transistor/tube hybrid.
The transistor stage is now constructed using discrete Class A technology, which means the circuit consists of individual components optimized for your tasks. No industrially manufactured ICs are used for preamplification because they cannot be optimized to such a large extent for this specific application. With quality features that were previously reserved for high-end equipment in significantly higher price regions, the GoldMike MK2 should set new standards in its price range.

- Frequency response <10Hz to 90kHz (-3dB)
- THD+N (input level -30dBu, 30dB gain) 0.016%
- Noise (A-bew., R=40Ohm, 30dB gain) -91.2dBu
- Dynamic range (30dB gain) 110dB
- A 128dBu
- Max. output level (balanced, XLR+jack) +26.8dBu
- Transistor stage slew rate 200V/µs

New or enhanced features compared to its predecessor offer amazing sonic flexibility and versatility and make the GoldMike MK2 the perfect two-channel front end for all modern production environments:

- Discrete Class A transistor stage
- Tube preamplification in three switchable controls
- Two-stage FLAIR circuit to intensify presence
- Switchable insert
- Extremely fast analog peak limiter based on diodes (reacts to transients in the microsecond range, therefore ideal for converter protection)
- VU displays with triple display range switching
- Instrument input on the front, separate microphone and line inputs on the back
- Phantom power, phase reversal switch, pad and high pass filter (50Hz)
- Options: 24/96 AD converter, input and output transformer from Lundahl
