D108 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The AudioScape D108 Dual Channel JFET Microphone Preamp is a hand-built unit inspired by the vintage Universal Audio 2108 mic preamp. It combines the character of the 1108 line amp from the iconic 1176 Rev A with a custom JFET-based input stage. This preamp delivers +25 dB of gain, essential for microphone level signals, and offers rich saturation when overdriven.

 

Constructed with premium components, including NOS JFETs, carbon composition resistors, and custom-wound input and output transformers, the D108 imparts a distinct 1960s solid-state vibe to any audio source. Its design aims to provide the aggressive, harmonically rich sound associated with the 1176 Rev A, making it suitable for tracking vocals, drums, guitars, and bass.

 

The unit is housed in a 19-inch rackmount chassis, similar to the original UA 2108, allowing for two channels in a compact form factor. The input and output controls are designed to offer a variety of saturated tones without the artifacts of FET compression, making it a versatile tool for achieving vintage analog sound.
