The 32Cpre+ takes the high-performance transformer-coupled microphone preamp from the 32Classic studio console, combines it with renowned Harrison LP/HP filters, and delivers it in the 500 Series format. Inspired by the iconic Harrison 3232, the mixing console and 32Classic preamp is an American icon reinvented, delivering the tone that helped create some of the most iconic albums of the '70s and '80s. Thanks to the 32Cpre+, the Harrison sound is now available in the 500 series format.
Tracking Tools
The 32Cpre+ offers +20 to +70 dB of smooth gain, capable of driving a wide variety of microphone types, including ribbon. In addition to the 180° phase, 48V, -20 pad and HiZ impedance switches, the front panel has an XLR combo with ¼” jack connector that allows you to connect a microphone or instrument directly to the 32Cpre+ without having to access the rear panel of the 500 Series Rack .
Harrison's Legendary Filters
A Harrison mic pre wouldn't be complete without our legendary filters. As found on the original 3232 console and the newer 32Classic console, the filters have a musical bias of 12dB/octave, with the high-pass filter having a characteristic resonant peak of 3dB. The high-pass filter range is 25 Hz to 3.1 KHz and the low-pass filter range is 160 Hz to 20 KHz.

Harrison's tone
The 32Cpre+ delivers the warm, rich tone Harrison is known for. Full bass, open midrange and super smooth natural highs are what to expect from this Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled mic pre. The smooth roll-off at each end of the frequency spectrum and the delicate phase shift created by the 1:1 ratio transformer produce a mic pre that sounds so sweet you can use it on any source material.
