Description
The Lehle Sunday Driver is a high end preamp with a convenient compact format. It features JFET-based circuitry and provides two modes of operation, with selection via a mode selector switch with gold-plated contacts:
“D” stands for Driver; in this mode, the signal is amplified, with absolutely no modification, at the input impedance of 1 MOhm, efficiently eliminating losses on the route through leads and effects; the signal remains strong and clear, retaining its full dynamics.
The second setting “S” – as in Sunday – multiplies input impedance by four to 4 MOhm, bringing out previously inaudible details and, as gain increases, imparting to the bass sound a characteristic and unmistakable warmth that has given this preamp its name – the result is a sound “as mellow as a sunny Sunday afternoon” … Even at a 15dB gain setting, the Lehle Sunday Driver always stays clean and absolutely free of background noise, thanks to its studio-standard signal-to-noise ratio of over -100 dB.
With its broad output range of 20 to 100,000 Hz, the Lehle Sunday Driver, powered by a standard 9V (PP3) battery, can be used anywhere, whether as a buffer for piezo pickups, as a cable driver for stadium and other large stages, in complex effects set-ups or as a recording preamp – and not just Sundays!
