The 2BA-221 is made with the highest quality full-voltage tube and solid-state signal paths and the best components available. The 2BA-221 even has a separate, dedicated power source for its 48V phantom power, and does not draw current away from the main circuits.

Integrating the 2BA-221 into your studio or live rig is easy given the comprehensive selection of input and output options provided. Summit Audio designed the connections of the 2BA-221 with creative options in mind.

Another really cool feature is its variable tube output control, which provides access to a huge variety of tones, from clean solid state to rich harmonics and all sorts of variations in between.
