Mic Preamps, EQs, and Compressors

An ever-changing variety of gear has come through Signaturetone throughout the years. From the start, our thought has been you can never go overboard on outboard gear, and it shows! Each piece adds to our sonic palette, giving us a range of sound capture capabilities not available to most smaller studios (and even some of the larger ones).
