Take characterful, high-performance amplification for your microphone or instrument anywhere you go with the Useful Arts Audio Hornet, a compact and portable single-channel mic preamp and JFET active DI hand-built in the USA. From its 60 dB of gain to its custom CineMag input transformer and discrete transistors, the Hornet is made to provide plenty of boost and color while maintaining an ultralow-noise signal path.
The inclusion of a Color control allows the Hornet to deliver variable harmonic distortion for vibe that can complement any source. XLR and 1/4 inputs and outputs ensure that the Hornet can properly accommodate your microphone and instrument connections, and output its signal into a mixing console or an amplifier. Switchable 48V phantom power is present for use with condenser microphones and a 10-segment LED meter helps you avoid clipping when setting levels.
Cost-Effective Performance
The idea behind the Hornet is simple: give people an affordable, portable preamp/DI that can go toe-to-toe with far more expensive preamps on the market.
Customizable Sonic Character
The Hornet s ultralow-noise front end gives your signal the creamy thickness, bite, and power that is difficult to attain through preamps built into interfaces. Need an even thicker, more powerful sound? Just dial in the Color control to add extra character without the need for compression or EQ.
High-Class Design
The Hornet features discrete gain cell topology, a custom CineMag input transformer, and a JFET active DI. Plus, it is made to be extremely quiet even at 60 dB of gain. Hand-built in the USA, the Hornet is compact and portable, so it can fit perfectly in mobile recording setups as well as in live rigs and studios.
