Sontronics Chimera Single-Channel Preamplifier

The Sontronics Chimera is an ultra-linear single channel hybrid valve and solid-state preamplifier. Classic British design!

The Sontronics Chimera is a switchable solid-state and valve preamplifier for both mics and line-line instruments. Its vintage-inspired desktop design allows you to switch between the smooth Electro-Harmonix® ECC82 valve channel or clean solid-state channels.

Transformer-balanced inputs and ultra-low self-noise help the sound to reach the mix with near-perfect integrity. The Chimera also features over 60dB of distortion-free headroom.

The unit further provides a six-step high-pass filter, attenuation and phase controls to get that perfect sound.

The Sontronics Chimera comes supplied with a dedicated power supply and cables. It also benefits from Sontronics Lifetime Warranty covering component or manufacturing defects.
