DW Fearn VT - 4 Vacuum Tube LC Equaliser
This single channel equalizer uses passive LC circuitry with class-A triode vacuum tube stages for the input and output. The tube circuitry is largely derived from the VT2 mic preamp design, so the equalizer has much the same sonic character as the preamps.The LC -style passive equalization circuitry is based on the the classic designs that are still the best-sounding way to achieve high-quality tonal control. The input line-level, transformer balanced-bridging. An active vacuum tube input section has adjustable gain to accomodate input signals as low as -10dBm. The input transformer is made by Jensen. The output stage utilizes the same custom Jensen transformer used on the VT1/VT2 mic preamps. All controls are stepped for precise repeatability and uniform matching between units. High quality rotary switches are used with1% metal-film resistors. All audio capacitors are polystyrene or polypropylene. The inductors are custom made by Jensen Transformeres Inc. Like the VT1/VT2 preamps, the Equalizer has been designed to provide an exceptional tool for audio professionals. The design frequencies and curves were determined by ear after extensive listening to a variety of program material, both individual tracks and mixes. The result is a highly-musical equalizer with plenty of range for enhancing any track or mix.

DW Fearn VT - 7 Dual Channel Vacuum Tube Compressor
The VT-7 has an all Class-A vacuum tube audio path, like all our products. The gain reduction elements utilize circuitry that duplicates the sound and characteristics of the finest classic vacuum tube compressors, without depending on tubes that are no longer manufactured. The control circuitry is modern solid-state analog. The two channels may be used independently or linked together for stereo. Controls: Threshold, Gain, Attack, Release, Curve, and Link. The VU meters can be switched between output level and gain reduction. This compressor has a unique sound. It is highly transparent, adding only loudness to the audio without introducing obvious artifacts. The compression curves can be adjusted from very gentle to moderately hard. Like all our products, the VT-7 Compressor is designed to process high-quality audio and make it sound great. This compressor is not intended to be used as an obvious effect. It is more like having an engineer with infinitely quick hands on the faders. Availability:

DW Fearn VT - 15 Vacuum Tube recording Channel
The VT- The VT-15 Vacuum Tube Recording Channel combines the mic preamp from the D.W. Fearn VT-2, and the DI input functionality of the new VT-3, plus the acclaimed dynamics control of the VT-7 Compressor, and the most-often used features of the VT-4 Equalizer. Mic Preamp The mic preamp section has all the features of the VT-1 (the single-channel version of the VT-2), plus a built in Line Pad (the same as our LP-1), and a front-panel 1/4” jack for an instrument input from an electric or electronic guitar or keyboard. Compressor The compression section is identical to a single channel of the VT-7 Stereo Compressor. Equalizer The equalization section is a scaled-down version of the versatile VT-4 LC Equalizer. It has a single frequency for each of the LF Boost, LF Cut, HF Boost, and HF Cut. These frequencies were determined by analyzing which were the most often used settings on the VT-4. The controls are continuously variable, from -12dB of cut to +12dB of boost. The HF Q is also continuously variable. Which comes first, compression or equalization? Sometimes you need the compression before the eq, and sometimes the eq should come first. The VT-15 does not lock you into only one configuration; a front panel switch allows you to instantly switch from Comp/Eq to Eq/Comp. A full-size true VU meter monitors either gain reduction or output level. The mic/line input connector is a XLR female, and the output is a XLR male, both on the back panel. The VT-15 is in a standard rack-mount package, 5.25” high (3RU). A rear panel switch allows the VT-15 to instantly be converted from 120 to 240VAC operation, 50/60Hz.
