The Dave Hill Designs Europa 1 is a solid state Class A mic/line Pre-amp with a revolutionary design concept Featuring no less than 91 transistors in the audio path in this unique design.
 
In addition to the usual phase, phantom power, gain and instrument input, the Dave Hill Designs Europa 1 features 3 controls to change the colour of the sound.
Odd and Even Harmonics let you add Harmonics to the sound which will add more or less distortion for a modern or vintage sound. The third control, Speed, directs how fast the preamp reacts to the incoming signal – it controls the Slew speed.
 
All three controls are built in series so their relationship changes in such a way that the Even Harmonics have an impact on the Speed and the Odd Harmonics controls affects both the Speed and Even harmonics.
 
To add further options, the Dave Hill Designs Europa 1 also features a 3-way impedance switch with impedances ranging from 300 Ohms, 2.2 kOhms and 200 kOhms offering further colour options. The instrument input boasts an impressive 1.2 MOhms. Extremely flexible, the Europa 1 features a very flexible 18dB per octave Low-Cut Filter with a choice of 8 Frequencies: 148 Hz, 130 Hz, 117 Hz, 100 Hz, 81 Hz, 63 Hz, 48 Hz, 33 Hz, and off. With 66dB of gain available, 30dB of gain on the line input and a maximum output level or +24dBu balanced.
 
The Dave Hill Designs Europa 1 can be used in a wide variety of situations and with any Microphone types. All of the controls are stepped offering repeatability of the settings for recording or mixing situations.
