DESCRIPTION

For its role models, the Chameleon Labs 581 aspires to the sonics of classic holy grail large-format console preamps. The 581 is extremely lucid sounding, with a remarkably solid low end - a combination that makes it perfect for everything from kick drums to vocals. The 581 also possesses a definite "character" - a sonic signature that you wouldn't expect in a preamp at this price.
