The AL-Y56 is a tube condenser microphone amplifier featuring an EHX 6072A vacuum tube, a 11.5:1 output transformer, 10 dB pad, and hand-selected components. Its circuit consists of a polystyrene input coupling capacitor from the capsule, Elna, Wima, and Nichicon capacitors throughout, 1% resistors from PRP and Ohmite throughout, and an Erse polypropylene output capacitor pushing the 11.5:1 output transformer.  The AL-Y56 is ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, wind instruments, and drum overhead.  A wide choice of Y series capsules are available bundled with the microphone amplifier or separately.
