Harrison 32CPre+ 500 Series Microphone Preamp

The 32Cpre+ microphone preamp delivers the iconic sound of Harrison consoles in a 500 series module. Created from the transformer-coupled mic preamp of the 32Classic studio console and combined with Harrison’s renowned LP/HP filters, this preamp lets you shape warm, rich tone with the musicality that helped create countless classic records. Whether you’re tracking vocals or acoustic instruments, the 32Cpre+ helps you capture full-bodied sound that stands the test of time.

Legendary Harrison Filters

The 32Cpre+ features the same legendary 12dB/octave filters found in Harrison’s renowned 3232 and 32Classic consoles. The high-pass filter provides a characterful 3dB resonant peak, letting you roll off unwanted low end from 25Hz–3.1kHz. The low-pass filter allows smoothing high frequencies from 160Hz–20kHz. These filters give you versatile tone-shaping to match the needs of any source.

Transformer-Coupled Circuitry for Iconic Sound

At the heart of the 32Cpre+ is a Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer that delivers the open, dimensional sound Harrison is famous for. The transformer’s 1:1 ratio creates a subtle phase shift and gentle roll-off, resulting in rich lows, clear highs and an open midrange. From this circuitry, you can expect +20 to +70dB of ultraclean gain to drive any mic with lush tone and smooth response.

Essential Tools for Tracking and Blending

The 32Cpre+ provides an array of features to optimize any signal path. Engage the -20dB pad and Hi-Z switch for high-output sources. Reverse polarity to fix phase issues. Supply 48V phantom power for condenser mics. A front-mounted XLR with 1/4″ jack connector gives you direct access and an overload LED helps prevent distortion. With these tools and Harrison’s signature sound, the 32Cpre+ is ideal for both tracking and blending with other preamps.

500 Series Format for Portable Tone

Harrison has reimagined their renowned studio sound for portability with the 32Cpre+ 500 series preamp. Now the musicality and dimension synonymous with Harrison is available in a module to suit any 500 series rack. Whether in your studio or on the road, you can rely on the 32Cpre+ to infuse your sound with the tone and features that have made Harrison an industry leader for over 40 years.
