HLabs PRE169DC SEPIA Module
Inspired by the legendary Studer 169 mixing console, the PRE169DC's input stage is a near-perfect replication of the original Studer design and its fairly transparent sound with massive gain range. To add more fatness, we put a (BIG) Carnhill transformer in the output section, the same you can find in Neve 51-series console, all housed in a single-width module housing.

About HLabs
Founded in the middle of the Beaujolais vineyards, HLabs designs & manufactures state-of-the-art analog audio products, inspired by the sound of the most legendary consoles & outboards.
In a world of computer-based music, we believe that analog audio tools are the key to adding sound creativity and character to every project.
Inspired by classic designs – especially those with big audio transformers – we focus on 100% discrete thru-hole component designs that make our gear reliable and serviceable for decades.
Whether we’re mimicking vintage gear or designing an innovative product, we keep things simple to use, so you can let your ears take control.
While “vintage fat sound” is often synonymous with tube circuits, we focus on classic audio transformers that offer iconic musicality – and do not require maintenance.
All our products are handcrafted in France, but remain affordable using a “less-is-more” approach and a modern production process from our beloved nearby partners.
