Sound Techniques Jude Microphone Preamp
Single-Channel, Dual-Discrete Console Microphone Preamp With CineMag Transformers
Original Sound Techniques Console Preamp That Captured London’s Most Famous Recordings of the 60s & 70s

Some of music’s most recognizable records  ran through the A-Range preamps in one custom Sound Techniques console at Trident Studios in London. To capture that same sound in a rack-friendly unit, Warm Audio built the Jude-MP mono microphone preamp, designed in collaboration with Sound Techniques and Geoff Frost, the engineer who drew the original A-Range preamp schematic. The Jude-MP preserves the complete original signal path, featuring a dual-discrete 3035 Class-A amplifier that provides your sources with the depth and forward push that made the Trident Studios console legendary. Additionally, the 9-position Z-Match control sets how your microphone loads the input, optimizing mic and preamp interplay for both vintage and modern microphones. Put your lead vocal, kick drum, or guitar cab through the Jude-MP, and you are effectively tracking through the same console that shaped one of rock ’n’ roll's most beloved eras.
