## Overview

The Aphex J PRE 500 Vocal Effects Processor is a high-performance preamp featuring patented Mic-Limiter technology, a 20-segment input meter for precise level setting, and a versatile ¼” instrument input, making it ideal for live performances and professional studio recordings. Proudly made in the USA, it ensures exceptional audio quality and reliability.

## Description

The J PRE 500 mic pre is inspired by the flagship Aphex 1788A remote controlled preamp. They both use the same Jensen JT11K8 nickel input Transformer. But unlike the 1788A, the J PRE 500 also features a Jensen JT-11DL nickel output-balancing transformer. As the 1788A is a highly advanced, remote controllable, eight-channel mic pre with multiple analog and digital outputs per channel, it does not have a modest price tag. The J PRE 500 provides affordable access to the legendary 1788A sound.

## Features

- The J PRE 500 features the Aphex patented Mic-Limiter technology. This is a limiter that works before the preamp. With the limiter on, it is nearly impossible to clip the input of the preamp. A signal will tend to sound bigger with the Mic-Lim engaged.
- ¼” instrument input on the front panel allows the connection of instruments like guitar and bass without using a direct box. This input overrides the input on the rear of the receiving frame when connected.
- The J PRE 500 features a 20-sement input meter. Many other 500 series preamps only offer a signal and clip LED. Our 20-segment meter makes it MUCH easier to set proper input levels.
- Made in the USA
- APPLICATIONS Live Performance, Professional Studio Recording, Voice over/ADR Recording
