The upgraded MkII stereo preamp is ready to rock your studio, at a great price!

The Auteur has been a staple preamp in studios around the world for many years.

The Auteur MkII is the next step in perfecting this combination of vintage and modern sound at an affordable price!

The Auteur MkII has a revamped gain stage that results in higher gain, lower noise, lower distortion, and a more extended frequency response than the original design.
