DIY Kits (click here)

Orphan Audio presents the first in a series of audio kits designed for the pro, but priced for the DIY hobbyist.

These kits convert a wide arrange of modules from classic recording consoles of the 60′s, the 70′s, and the 80′s to pro-quality microphone pre-amps using factory designs and original parts. The first kit to be released converts Quad Eight CA series modules from classic recording and film consoles to the famous CA-227 Mic Preamp.

Versions are available for customers who want to build up their own modules, through completely wired, ready to run, rack mounted pairs.
