MODEL 9762 OVERVIEW
The Model 9762 Dual Combo is designed to emulate vintage
1970's era large frame consoles (i.e. Neve™ 1073/1272
Series) yet provide a more open and detailed sound by
combining modern components with superior construction.
We set out to take this design to the next level right
from the very start and leveraged decades of component
and transformer design improvements in the process. Every
detail was considered and pored over during development
of this unit - the 9762 is NOT just another knock off
unit! As a result, the 9762 provides less "darkness"
but retains the giant Class-A transformer driven sound
the vintage units are known for. Listen to the 9762 and
hear why the details really do make a difference!
The 9762 uses a super high quality input transformer,
manufactured by Lars Lundahl of Sweden, with excellent
sonic properties that is considered by many to be one
of the world’s finest input transformers. The preamp
gain blocks and structure have been specifically optimized
to match the input transformer characteristics as closely
as possible. These refinements give the 9762 classic super
fat sounds with the benefit of increased high-end openness
and clarity.

The standard unit contains two channels of high gain
amplification capable of providing up to 75 dB of gain.
All XLR input and output connectors are transformer balanced
and isolated. Unbalanced line output connectors and direct
input (DI) instrument connectors are also provided. Standard
features include +48V Phantom power, polarity (phase)
reverse, DI source select, microphone impedance select
and output termination select switching. All transformers
are fully enclosed by mu-metal shields for maximum isolation,
reduced magnetic interference, and reduced sensitivity
to external fields.
The enclosure and faceplate are made of heavy gauge laser
cut steel for extra strength and maximum shielding. Miniature
sealed gold contact relays are used for all audio switching
functions and increased reliability. A high impedance
FET buffer stage is used in the instrument direct input
(DI) stage. The FET input buffer stage serves as a high
impedance conversion stage designed to prevent loading
of instrument pickups. The DI switch allows manual selection
of the DI or microphone input source and also serves as
a mute switch when only one input is in use.
The internal power supply uses a custom low-noise audio
grade toroid supply transformer specifically designed
for our unit. This supply transformer is fully enclosed
by a mu-metal shield with additional shielding provided
by the all steel enclosure supply area. Superior shielding
results in minimal hum and magnetic interference around
sensitive audio transformers. The 9762 goes the extra
mile where others choose to simply ignore or overlook
shielding requirements.
The 9762 may be configured for either 115V or 230V (50/60
Hz) operation via the rear panel power entry module. Each
preamplifier circuit board contains onboard regulation,
filtering and a thermal fuse. Each channel operates completely
independently of the other channel. All printed circuit
boards are full ground plane type designs for improved
stability and shielding.
And finally, the 9762 is backed with a full 5-Year limited
warranty that guarantees our units to be free of material
and workmanship defects for a period of five years!
