Creamliner III Dual Pentode Preamplifier

Creamliner III Dual Pentode Preamplifier

$2,805.00

Creamliner III is is a stereo line signal conditioner, aimed at improving the sound of digital stereo busses and digital PA boards.
Sure, you can use a plugin to address the issue of “digitalitis”, but Creamliner stands out above all of those because it delivers!
No gunked-up low-mids, darkened highs or nasally/harsh high-mids. You get a subtle but game-changing glue effect that just makes your mix sound more organic.

Creamliner III adds a 6dB attenuation switch, enabling one to drive the tubes less, while automatically raising the output so that there is no change in loudness. Pots have replaced version II’s trimpots for easier real time adjustment. Two tactile switches control the output mode on either channel. Tube modes have separate switches, so that channels can be run in different tube modes, which can be useful for M/S work.

  1. Rated 5 out of 5

    Stephen Curtin –

    Ever since the day in 2013, Boris walked into the arena in Vancouver with a Creamliner under his arm, this unit has become a staple of my master bus signal flow. This masterfully designed unit quickly became the glue for my mixes both live and in recordings. Simplicity in design and exceptional sonics are two major components I look for in any gear I add to my rack. The Creamliner is exactly that.

    The sound is fantastic — very musical — and I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase. The product exceeds my expectations in both sound quality and craftsmanship. The customer service was equally impressive: Boris followed up several times to make sure everything was going well. It’s rare to see such attention to detail and thoughtful follow-up. Honestly, this has been a real favorite!
