It's hard to imagine a two-year-old Theron Feemster (aka Neff-U) at a drum kit, but it's there that the man responsible for some of this century's biggest hip hop hits started his musical career.

During a tracking session with vocalist Sarah West, Theron fell in love with the sound of the Red 1 500. "It kept her voice warm and crisp, and it gave her clarity." Also during the session, Theron recorded a drum track, to add some natural vibe to his programmed drums. Theron's engineer Bob Horn fed one overhead mic through the Red 1 500 for the recording, and the outcome shocked Theron: "it's expected to be used on vocals, but to actually know that you can use it on the entire drum set, that's incredible. One mic and one preamp gave me such a big, dynamic sound."

Red 1 500 offers a compact interface to digital recording systems or for location recordings as well as convenient access in any control room, with a Lundahl LL1538 input transformer, just as in the original; switchable phantom power; polarity invert; and an illuminated classic porthole VU meter. The output stage of Red 1 500, with its custom Carnhill transformer, will easily drive long cable runs without loss of quality -- ideal for remote recordings. Mic gain is switched (with a Grayhill gold-plated military-grade switch) in 6dB steps from -6 to +60dB, for accurate, precise channel matching and recall.
