Expand the capabilities of your SC-1 preamp by getting the MINI-IO + Active DI Kit. This kit adds Polarity Reversal switch, -20dB Pads, and a Mic/Hi-Z Instrument select switch. There is also an on-board ACTIVE DI that one beta tester compares the sound to his favorite Active DI from another company (starts with the letter "R"...), which makes this MINI-IO Kit a bargain, considering the other DI costs 4x as much.
You can also adapt this for use in your own DIY preamp or project. See the Assembly Guide/Instructions for the block diagram to see how it sits "in-between" your preamp and XLR jacks.
Features: - High-quality PCB, compact size, plated throuh holes, double-sided - Push Buttons with customizable color button caps - Polarity Reverse Switch - -20dB Pad Switch - Mic/Instrument Select Switch - ACTIVE DI, with true balanced outputs. - 1/4" Hi-Z inputs - RFI protection - Easy connection to existing preamp like the SC-1 Kit - Uses 18-0-18V DC power (use our PSU-1848 PSU Kit) - Headers are 0.1" spacing.

What if you could take the best features from different preamps, and combine them into one Super-Frankenstein Hybrid preamp? And that's exactly what I did. Welcome my new X-72mk500 Mic Preamp!
This is our new Mic Preamp in the API-500 Series card format. We're bringing all the quality of the original SC-1 and some more, plus new additional features in this new form factor.
This is my own version of a classic preamp, popular in the 70s and still popular today. It's not a clone since I'm using a totally different signal path and design, and different input and output transformers. But the sound nevertheless is awesome. Big and beefy with lots of transformer mojo goodness.
The SC-1 Mic Preamp is a clean, clear, low-noise, high-gain pream. It sounds very transparent, offering a flat response, smooth highs and well-defined mids.
It's here! Save time and energy building a case for your SC-1 Preamp. This is a 1u Rack Case designed to mount (4) SC-1 Preamp Kits! Very professional looking! Standard 19" wide, 11" deep (plenty of space).
By Eddie Ciletti. With the state of today's economy, it's hard to predict (or have confidence in) the days ahead. Looking into my silicon crystal ball, your passion for knowledge and the declining value of a dollar tell me there might be a D.I.Y. kit on your holiday gift list this year. And there are a lot of reasons to love these kits: They teach us almost as much about our retail gear as they do about D.I.Y.
