Am I the only one that would never buy a preamp painted that awful purple/pink color?

Call me biased but I’m more likely to buy audio gear from an older, scruffy looking English gentleman than from someone who looks like Steven Slate. 😁

I love the color, the rabbit, the name. I wonder what it sounds like.

what i don't understand is how does a single slot 500 series eq process stereo signals.

the eq looks very nice.
i think the purple may be a hhb reference?

These look to be similar (or the same?) designs as some of his TFPRo 500 gear. tfpro.com/shop/It even has the stereo opto unit that’s coming soon on the Alice site. Depending on which items you were looking for, this might solve your color issues with the Alice line. Anyone have any experience with the TFPro stuff? Curious if they’re similar to any of the JoeMeek designs; which I remember seeing a lot of in the 00s, but never got around to using myself. The opto intrigues me! |

From what I gather the original old school Joe Meek stuff was British, rad, and vibey... then QC went out the window when the company was bought by PMI. |

As far as I know, Ted Fletcher is still in charge of his own TFPpro product range though, designed and made in the UK (he was co-founder of Alice, and founder of both Joemeek and Orbitsound) - a fascinating man that I've met on several occasions when hosting audio technology panels.

Can confirm, hes still running Alice and TFPro, making both in the UK. Emailed with him this morning : ) |

Will this console have enough gain for music recording purposes? Will I have headroom?
Class A preamps and EQs, Carnhill (OEP) Input transformers.
A push-button switch selects the required input (mic/line), and the continuously variable rotary gain control has a
range of 50dB on mic. and 24dB on line.
All microphone inputs are transformer balanced and floating via a standard 3-pin XLR type female connector.
The input impedance is designed for 200-ohm microphones, but will accept other types down to 30 ohms impedance.
The minimum input level for 0VU output is -80dBu (approx.0.03mV); the maximum input level is -10dBu (approx. 240mV).
If high levels are anticipated, attenuator pads should be used in the mic circuits.
