Pre V76

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

Pre V76 is a vacuum tube preamp and 2-band EQ plugin that combines Arturia's emulation of the classic Telefunken V76 microphone preamplifier with a V612 EQ section from the same era. It delivers pleasant tube saturation and harmonic coloration alongside broad, gentle Baxandall-type EQ curves, making it ideal for adding vintage character and tonal shaping to recordings. The plugin operates in Single Channel (mono) or Double Channel (stereo/mid-side/dual mono) modes with comprehensive parameter automation.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Vacuum tube saturation with continuous gain from +3dB to +76dB
022-band EQ with fixed frequencies: 100Hz (Low Shelf) and 5kHz (High Shelf), ±10dB boost/cut range
03Baxandall-type EQ curves with broad, gentle slopes
04High Pass Filter with selectable 80Hz, 300Hz, 80+300Hz, or Flat positions
05Three Double Channel modes: Stereo, Mid/Side, and Dual Mono
06Automatic Gain Compensation to isolate saturation from volume changes
07Phase Reverse switch (added feature not in original hardware)
08TAE® technology for accurate analog circuit emulation

Things to Try

  • 01Set Gain to +40dB to add noticeable saturation while Automatic Gain Compensation maintains perceived volume balance
  • 02Use the 80Hz High Pass Filter position to remove sub-bass frequencies and rumble from voice recordings
  • 03Boost High Tone to approximately +9dB and Low Tone to approximately +6dB to achieve a 'loudness' curve for general tonal enhancement
  • 04In Mid/Side mode, reduce the Side channel Output Trim to create a more mono-compatible center image, or boost it to enhance stereo width
