Warm Audio JUDE-MP2 Stereo Microphone Preamp

The Warm Audio Sound Techniques Stereo JUDE brings the authentic circuit of the legendary Sound Techniques A-Range console to the modern studio. Created in official collaboration with Sound Techniques and based on the original Trident Studios console design by Geoff Frost, JUDE delivers the unmistakable depth, punch, and character heard on countless classic British recordings.

The original Sound Techniques consoles helped shape recordings by The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and many more.

• Original Sound Techniques A-Range Console Preamp — Official collaboration between Sound Techniques and Warm Audio, faithfully recreating the preamp circuit from the legendary Trident Studios A-Range consoles.
• Authentic Stereo Console Circuit — Two channels featuring the original dual-discrete 3035 Class-A amplifier circuit and proprietary Z-Match impedance design.
• Accurate Component Selection & Hand-Wired Construction — Built using premium Wima and Nichicon audio-grade capacitors, carbon resistors, and custom CineMag USA transformers in a Sound Techniques-specified PCB layout.
• 9-Position Z-Match Impedance Control — The original impedance-matching circuit lets you shape the interaction between your microphone and preamp, providing nine different tonal options with a wide variety of microphones.
• Custom CineMag Transformers — Features custom-wound, 3-impedance input transformers and high-purity nickel output transformers for authentic transformer coloration and performance.
• 65–76 dB of Per-Channel Gain — High-gain microphone preamplification with gain that varies according to the selected Z-Match impedance setting.
• 5-Year Warranty — Every Stereo JUDE is hand-tested and inspected by Warm Audio technicians.

• Vocals and microphones
• Stereo guitar recording
• Acoustic and electric guitars
• Piano and keyboards
• Drum overheads
• Room microphones
• Stereo recording applications
• Tracking sources that benefit from classic British console character

The Z-Match impedance control allows the JUDE to interact differently with virtually any microphone, opening up tonal possibilities beyond a conventional microphone preamp. Use it for clean, detailed capture or push the circuit for the rich depth and saturation associated with classic ’60s and ’70s British recordings.
