PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Based on Hollywood's famous Sunset Sound Studios, the Sunset Sound Tutti 500 Series mic/instrument preamp is a testament to Tutti Camarata, the man who started Sunset Sound.
Celebrating Sunset Sound's 60 years of recordings, ranging from Mary Poppins to Van Halen, The Doors to Sheryl Crow, Led Zeppelin to Prince, Janis Joplin to Miley Cyrus, the Tutti was designed to replicate the high level of quality the studio itself had to deliver on all these legendary recordings.
The "Tutti" is based on the design used in the massive API custom console's in Studio 1 and Studio 3 where so many famous albums have been tracked.
The "Tutti" harnesses Dual 990 op amps, two custom made Cinemag high level nickel input and a custom blended steel/nickel output transformer, the result? This is the original design and keeping it true to its history.
Sunset Sound owner Paul Camarata and Paul Wolff came together to reimagine the unit as a 500 module and went through painstakingly design revisions to get the transformer's & circuit as close to the original as possible.
