Midas XL4-2 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Pre-Amp

The Midas XL4-2 2-Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Pre-Amp is built for engineers and musicians who want rich, analogue warmth and precise control in every session. Each channel features premium 12AX7 tubes that deliver smooth, natural character across vocals, instruments, and line inputs. With 72 dB of gain and Class-A dual mono architecture, it offers detailed, noise-free capture with improved stereo depth for any studio or live setup.

The illuminated VU meters and AIR circuitry make it easy to shape your sound and keep levels consistent, while switchable phantom power, pad, low-cut, and phase options give you full flexibility with different microphones. Rugged and rack-mountable, it’s a reliable preamp that fits seamlessly into professional and portable rigs alike.

Authentic warmth with Class-A tube tone

The XL4-2’s tube design brings the classic warmth of analogue gear into your modern workflow. The Class-A circuitry ensures pure, noise-free operation, while the vacuum tubes add depth and harmonic richness to any input. It’s ideal for recording or enhancing vocals, guitars, and other instruments that benefit from natural character and presence.

Improved stereo depth and clarity

Each channel in the XL4-2 has its own independent signal path, delivering true dual mono performance. This separation gives your mixes a wide, realistic stereo image that feels open and detailed, perfect for stereo miking, drum overheads, or acoustic ensembles.

Precision control at your fingertips

Large trim knobs give you exact gain adjustment, while the illuminated switches provide easy access to all key functions. With built-in AIR circuitry, phantom power, phase reverse, and a low-cut filter, you can adapt instantly to any recording scenario and maintain full control over your sound.

Built for everyday studio and stage use

The rugged 2U rackmount design makes the XL4-2 reliable and easy to integrate into existing setups. Whether you’re in a studio rack or a live rig, the illuminated controls and sturdy build ensure it performs consistently wherever you need it.
