Keep your recordings clean
The AirHead V2 ensures your recordings stay distortion-free by preventing clipping. When recording loud sources like drums or guitar amps, high signal levels can overload your preamp, causing unwanted distortion. With variable attenuation from -6dB to -18dB, you can control the input signal to maintain clarity and detail.
This is especially useful for dynamic performances, where volume levels can spike unexpectedly. By using the AirHead V2, you’ll get a more balanced sound without sacrificing the energy of your performance.
Fine-tune your signal
With a continuous attenuation range of -6dB to -18dB, the AirHead V2 gives you precise control over your microphone’s signal level. This flexibility is perfect for adjusting gain structure in different recording environments. If you need a subtle reduction or a significant drop in volume, you can dial in the right amount of attenuation to suit your needs.
This makes it a valuable tool for engineers and musicians looking to capture high-quality audio without unwanted signal peaks.
Enhance your preamp’s tone
By lowering your microphone’s signal level, the AirHead V2 allows you to drive your preamp harder without overloading it. Many preamps have a unique tonal character that becomes more pronounced at higher gain settings. With the AirHead, you can take full advantage of this, adding warmth, saturation, or other sonic characteristics to your recordings. This is particularly useful for vintage-style or tube preamps, where gain staging plays a big role in shaping the final sound.
Seamless integration with any setup
The AirHead V2 is designed for easy integration into any recording rig. Its balanced XLR input and output ensure a secure connection with minimal signal loss. Plus, it allows phantom power to pass through, so you can use it with condenser microphones without any issues.
Compact and passive, it requires no external power, making it a hassle-free addition to your setup. Whether in the studio or on stage, the AirHead V2 is a simple but powerful tool for controlling your microphone signal.
