Trident 500 Series 80B EQ

The Trident 80B-500 brings the unmistakable sound of the legendary Series 80B console preamp into the 500 Series format. Based on the original late-’70s/early-’80s design, it delivers the fast transient response, wide bandwidth, and musical transformer character that made these consoles a studio staple.

Built around a Lundahl transformer-coupled mic input, electronically balanced line input, and high-quality output transformer, the 80B-500 offers plenty of gain, low noise, and smooth control across a wide range of signal levels. It works equally well with condenser, dynamic, and ribbon microphones, while the front-panel Hi-Z input adds extra flexibility for instruments.
