CP5 Colour Mic Preamp

3 colour modules in 1 500 rackunit

The Palette provides power, sonically transparent i/o, and elegant controls for three Colour modules. The Palette itself is compatible with any 500-series rack and is currently available as a beginner-friendly DIY kit. Colours are sold separately from the Palette kit.

COLOR YOUR SIGNAL WITH A CLICK

The Palette's most powerful feature is it's simple and elegant interface. Dial in anywhere from a hint to a heap of color with the Saturation control. Engage and bypass Colours individually with dedicated push-button switches. Know which Colours are engaged at a glance with indicator LEDs that automatically match the Colour installed in each slot. And set the Palette's output level via the precision Trim control.

COMMUNITY DRIVEN

Colour was designed with and for the DIY audio community. Every design decision, from the width of the PCB traces to the modular approach, was made in tandem with a community of DIYers and professional gear designers during two years of development. The result is a world-class piece of equipment that delivers exceptional performance at an accessible price.

The Palette's design files are open source, and we welcome the community to use them as a platform to develop their own Colours.

RADICALLY AFFORDABLE

Colour was designed to make analog saturation an order of magnitude less expensive than current high-end and vintage offerings. We achieved this remarkable price point by keeping the design simple, selling direct, and crowd-funding the initial production run. The one thing we didn't do was compromise on design or components. The Palette features best-in-class chips from THAT Corp on input and output, Nichicon caps chosen by ear, Alps switches, Bourns fuses for over-current protection, output protection diodes, and front and side panels fabricated completely in the US.

GUARANTEED SUPPORT

The Colour Knowledge Base features step-by-step, photo assembly instructions for the Palette and every Colour designed by DIYRE. If you hit a snag during your assembly process, our friendly support team is just an email away. We will walk you through the troubleshooting process and stay on the line until your Palette is up and running.
