Thermionic Culture Earlybird 2.3 Two Channel Pre-amp with EQ Review

Designed with precision, the Earlybird 2.3 uses high-end valve circuitry in a push-pull Class A design to deliver ultra-low noise and distortion. Its active EQ section offers three bands with carefully tuned curves, including selectable midrange frequencies at either 800Hz or 2.8kHz. A unique high-pass filter section gives even more tone control without coloring your signal. Thanks to its Sowter-designed transformers, you get high headroom, minimal phase shift, and plenty of clean output. From mic to line-level sources, this unit adapts easily—making it ideal for everything from delicate acoustic sessions to mastering chains.
