Cathedral Pipes Micro-Amp for Passive Mics

Forums

From Cathedral Pipes, the Durham Micro Amp Buffer, designed to add up to an additional 25db of clean, transparent gain for all passive microphones.
It uses typical 48v Phantom Power - found on most mic preamps - to add more db to low-output passive mics, which often require ramped-up gain levels to work at their optimum, and that many lower end preamps don't usually have available.

The Beatles - Yesterday (Rare studio acoustic)

Today people would be using autotune on Paul. There is obvious pitch issues here but its also part of Paul's sound, as is with all singers. imho, its the song and performance that makes a song, not autotune

Also, the room sounds pretty bad to me in comparison to what I would want today. Its interesting hearing this. The room sound defines "dates" the generation.
