All the sound of the 1/2 rack version with added Hi-Z input.
The Auteur MKII 500 is one of the most “bang for your buck” 500-series preamps available. You get all of the sound of the 1⁄2 rack version, but with the addition of a Hi-Z input. It features an ultra-fast input stage that captures lots of detail and nuance, and a signal path transformer that adds some “beef” on the way out. Once you hear the Auteur MKII 500, you’ll want to load your 500 rack full of ‘em.
