The PreMax is a combination low-noise mic
preamp and 3 band equalizer jam packed into a
single-wide 500 series module. The 'all-in-one'
channel strip will be of particular interest to those
who require greater density in their production
studios or on-air radio broadcast inputs. The feature
set includes Radial's super quiet Accustate input
control that auto-pads the input while optimizing
signal-to-noise. A high pass filter eliminates
resonance while a 180° polarity reverse lets you
match stereo mics for phase parity. A front panel
instrument input lets you turn on the Omniport which
in this case is optimized as an instrument input for
direct recording of bass, guitar or keyboards.
According to Radial’s Sales Manager Roc Bubel: "When we started
building 500 series products our primary goal was to solidify the standard
so that we could create a bunch of useful modules. We started with the
Workhorse and mixer, a preamp, compressor and a Reamper. We now
offer close to 20 different modules, each of which address a different
market niche or price point. The latest in our series is the PreMax. This is
designed to bring greater density and affordability to the 500 series
format by combining a preamp and EQ into a single space module. At a
retail price of $350, we are confident that the PreMax will provide certain
segments of the market with the performance and price point to suit their
needs."
The PreComp is a 500 series module that combines a high
performance mic preamp with a fully variable, full function VCA compres-
sor. One merely connects the mic, sets the input level and then the
compression for instant results! The compact all-in-one module is
particularly beneficial for high density setups such as live recording
where you want to capture the natural sound of the instrument while
ensuring it does not go into the red. Those equipped with a Radial
Workhorse can use the Omniport to access the preamp and compressor
separately, using them as two separate modules.
Radial's Senior Engineer Dan Fraser: "The PreComp addresses the
need to combine both a preamp with a compressor in a compact, single space module. This provides
broadcasters and post production engineers with a quick and easy solution for voice and instrument
processing. It is also a Godsend for live recording engineers as it enables them to maximize system
density without compromising on performance or control."

Reverend Horton Heat
Eleven albums and several movie, television and
video game soundtracks later, The Reverend is
currently working on the band's new album. "I love the
Komit Compressor on guitar and vocals and the
TankDriver spring reverb interface is great for me as I
use spring reverb everywhere. I can record the reverb
separately with the TankDriver to give me more control
during mix-down. They are both all over our new
album."

A Radial SGI Studio Guitar Interface is also a fixture
in his studio: "I got to meet the guitar techs for the
Doobie Brothers, and saw they had an SGI. I asked
what it did and the light bulb went on. Now that too gets
used all the time. I use it in the studio so I can run the
amp off in the next room. That's been a lifesaver on the
new album. I can be in the control room and locate the
amp 30 feet away and have it cranked all the way up!"
