Mic Preamp Emulation with Apogee Alloy

Apogee’s all-new Alloy Mic Preamp emulation processing gives you the warmth and tone of coveted British Solid State and American Tube analog preamps.  The Apogee Alloy Mic Preamp (AMP) emulation offers analog circuitry plus DSP processing to create the richest, most authentic audio modeling available in an audio interface. Critical aspects of each preamp model such as input impedance, transient profile and distortion characteristics are first implemented in the analog domain, followed by precise and accurate refinement in DSP, for a hybrid result that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
