Description
The Cloud Microphones True Blue 520 is a next-generation 500 Series microphone preamplifier built in collaboration with True Systems, delivering up to +76 dB of ultra-clean, transparent gain. Engineered for stunning musical accuracy, the True Blue 520 carries forward the legendary low-noise, high-headroom True Systems lineage in a single-slot 500 Series module, making it equally at home on detailed vocals, acoustic instruments, and demanding low-output ribbon and dynamic microphones.
A standout feature is the patent-pending Cloud Touch Controls - a capacitive touch interface with an illuminated front panel, a first for 500 Series preamps - that makes gain and feature adjustments fast, precise, and visually clear. The fully balanced topology keeps the signal pristine from input to output, while a variable 6 dB/octave high-pass filter (sweepable from 25 Hz to 420 Hz) tames rumble and proximity buildup without sacrificing musicality.
Dedicated Dynamic and Ribbon modes optimize input impedance and signal path for passive microphones, helping ribbons and dynamics sound their fullest and most natural. Housed in a standard 500 Series form factor, the True Blue 520 drops into any compatible rack or chassis and brings reference-grade clean gain to any modern recording or broadcast workflow.
