Introduction

A-Designs Audio
Introduces

A-Designs Au dio Inc. is proud to produce a new design to professionals in audio recording. We call it the VENTURA.
Our goal is to bring a solid state design to market that will integrate with the digital world and at the same time deliver

analog warmth with a hint of color and richness to your recordings.
Hand-built in the US, the new A-De sign s device features three inputs – microphone, instrument and EQ/insert – which

may be used together or independently. The product is also equipped with a highly musical three-band parametric EQ and
high/low filters, as well as two independent transformer balanced outputs (mic/instrument and EQ).

The heart of the VENTURA is its specially designed discrete bipolar transistor operational amplifier that operates on
±30 VDC rails. This new Opamp is a high-gain, fast-slew, stable audio block with virtually no DC offset over the audio
spectrum and is capable of driving a 50 ohm load at 50 Hz with very little current draw. It is used in the microphone
preamp, instrument input amp and main and EQ and output stages.
