UK - TerraTec Producer's Hi Jack is a quality studio preamp featuring a variable high-impedance input, designed as an ideal front end for electric guitars and acoustic instruments equipped with electric or piezo pickup systems. With a discrete FET input amplifier stage serving as the front end, the compact box boosts pickups' signals to line level, say the company, and offers gain reserves ranging from 1dB to +40dB. Loaded with high-quality components, its circuitry is designed to provide amplification distinguished by low noise levels and first-class audio quality, TerraTec adds.

Sporting 2M-ohm high impedance circuitry, Hi Jack's instrument input has a significant audio advantage over conventional line inputs on mixers: it puts an end to muddy signals due to mismatched impedances of pickups and amps. This input stage makes instruments shine by capturing their brilliance in all its natural glory.

Its line output also accommodates balanced circuits, enabling greater cable lengths without annoying interference impairing signals. With features tailored especially for recording electrically amplified stringed instruments, Hi Jack is the ideal front end for every mixer and audio card.

Hi Jack is available immediately from distributor SCV London.
