Description

T.H.E. Tom Hilbe Mo'67 500 Series Microphone Preamp - #00009
A previously used item that exhibits signs of cosmetic wear and is fully operational and functions as intended.
The T.H.E. Company HILBE Mo 67 is a 500-series mic preamp that features the Melcor 1729 “Open Air” op-amp from 1967, precursor to the API 2520, with switchable impedance, Hi-Z instrument DI, polarity reverse, -20dB pad, and 48V phantom power.
While it's an accepted fact among experienced audio professionals that new gear doesn't always sound better than the old, fortunately these days in pro audio, nothing stays lost forever. Thanks to Tom Hilbe of T.H.E. Company (Tom Hilbe Equipment), T.H.E. has reintroduced the sound that give birth to the API 312 preamp with the limited edition HILBE Mo 67 mic preamp. The Mo 67 is based on the 1967 Melcor "open-air" 1729 op-amp (see below), which, after a shootout in his studio, Grammy Award-winning composer-producer, Michael Boddicker called "[w]armer and more musical-sounding than the 2520.” The Mo 67 is an all-discrete, solid-state transformer-balanced (in/out) mic preamp that’s been described as "smooth, with a pleasing crunch when pushed." It’s ideal for recreating the classic big-iron sound of the ’60s and ’70s — aka, the golden age of recording. On the practical side, the Mo 67 features a direct Hi-Z input, -20dB pad, polarity reversal, and switchable mic impedance between 300-ohm or 1.2k-ohm operation, for use with both high and low-sensitivity microphones.
