Description
Tierra Audio Lava Preamp
The Tierra Audio Lava Preamp is an organic and warm sounding preamp
that is hand-made in Spain and constructed from premium parts such as
Carnhill input transformers that are perfect for the studio musician,
singer or podcaster.
Sparing no expense, the Tierra Audio Lava Preamp is designed for maximum performance and sonic perfection through handmade, analogue electronics that offer a more natural and slow transient response, full-range frequency response and high headroom threshold for a homogenous sound that glues your signal together with accuracy and detail.
Not just another studio preamp, the Lava Preamp brings something new to the table, environmentally conscious. With every purchase, a tree will be planted to give something back to nature to help build a more sustainable future. The visually stunning front panel resembles this sentiment through the sustainably, locally sourced cherry wood covering that will not only make you sound fantastic but look good whilst doing so.
Give your voice a lift
The Lava Preamp is the vocalists best friend in the studio or even
during live performances. Instantly improve the dynamics and definition
of your voice to bring out every detail and nuance with crystal clear
quality, letting you find space within your music to fit the mix with
ease.
There's no easier way to add energy and depth to your tracks than
with the Lava Preamp, by cranking the input gain, you will start to
generate odd harmonics in your voice that help give your vocals
character, helping your audience to get closer to the words you're
saying.
Not only that, but when you drive the gain to add the odd harmonics to your signal, Lava Preamp gives you a hint of magic, a psychoacoustic effect that masks pitch variation to the key of the song to keep you locked into your tune for good.
Radio-ready sound
Ever wanted to achieve the smooth, rich and deep tonal character of
professional radio broadcasts, podcasts, A-list movie voiceovers and
more? Look no further than the Lava Preamp.
The highly detailed
character of the input Carnhill transformer delivers a full-range
frequency response from 20Hz - 20kHz with an emphasis on adding a
well-defined presence to your voice.
This means you will not only get all of the body and weight from the chesty part of your voice, but you will also capture every little detail and syllable to ensure every word is crystal clear and easy to understand.
Lava runs hot
Not just a product title in name only, the Lava Preamp is labelled
appropriately thanks to the overwhelming level of headroom present.
Preserve all the dynamic range of your instrument no matter how loud or
quiet they can be when you are expressing your performance exactly as
you intend.
Constructed with premium, audio-optimized parts, Lava has an incredibly low noise floor of less than -86dBu and a tremendous amount of headroom to ensure that no matter if you are strumming heavily on guitar, plucking thunderous low end-bass or subtle cello and violin build-ups, nothing will get left out.
