Soyuz MicrophonesThe Lakeside Single Channel Class-A Mic Preamp
1/10
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Lakeside is a single-channel Class-A preamp built around discrete circuitry and custom-wound transformers at both input and output. Its stepped gain control sets level and saturation in repeatable 5 dB moves, while output trim lets you refine the send level afterward. An inductor-based high-pass filter covers 40–330 Hz for shaping low-frequency content. Use the front-panel DI for instruments and other high-impedance sources, or route recorded material through it when you want the preamp’s character across a track.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording microphone sources while setting gain and final output level independently.
- Tracking bass, electric guitar, synths, or drum machines through the front-panel DI.
- Re-amping stems, recordings, or mixes through an analog preamp stage.
