FLAMINGO, is a high quality 2 channel discrete class A microphone pre-amp. It can be
operated as a musically transparent pre-amplifier, but is capable o emulating vintage
sounds as well as creating distinctive new ones.
The input gain is selected by a stepped switch for gain matching and repeatability.
This is followed by a continuously variable attenuate to provide gain trim. Gain is
adjustable in 6 db steps to 66 db gain and down to off by the attenuate.
Each channel has independently switchable phase and phantom power switches.
FLAMINGO also contains a 2 channel 22 element VU meter with an over load indicator to
allow accurate monitoring and ease of level adjustment.
Unique to FLAMINGO are two switches that allow the user to select different sounds;
these are the IRON and SOUND switches. By using these switches FLAMINGO can produce four
different sounds. The SOUND switch changes the type of amplifier and the IRON switch puts
iron in the audio path.
FLAMINGO has a transformer-less balanced inputs and outputs. The unit is 1 rack space
tall and operates from 100V, 115V, 230V or 240V mains.
FLAMINGO is designed to be flexible and give the user a tool to solve real world
recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement problems. It can provide an artistic choice
of sounds a the flip of a switch.
