Harrison 500-series 32C Preamp

High-Performance Preamp

The Harrison 32Cpre+ brings the unmistakable sound of the classic Harrison 32Classic console to the 500 Series format. Combining the high-performance Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled microphone preamp with Harrison’s renowned high- and low-pass filters, the 32Cpre+ delivers the warmth, depth, and musicality that defined the sound of countless legendary recordings.

Inspired by the iconic Harrison 3232 console—used to craft era-defining albums from the 1970s and 1980s—the 32Cpre+ captures the essence of that timeless tone in a modern, compact module. It’s the perfect front-end for today’s hybrid studios, offering pristine analogue performance with a distinctive musical character.

Tools for Tracking

With +20 to +70 dB of smooth, controlled gain, the 32Cpre+ easily accommodates a wide range of microphones, from delicate ribbons to powerful condensers. A front-mounted combo XLR/TRS input allows effortless connection of microphones or instruments directly to the module, making setup fast and intuitive. Additional front-panel switches provide 48V phantom power, polarity reverse, -20 dB pad, and Hi-Z impedance selection — giving engineers the flexibility they need for any session.

Legendary Harrison Filters

A Harrison mic pre wouldn’t be complete without its legendary filters. Derived from the original 3232 and the latest 32Classic consoles, the 32Cpre+ features musical 12 dB/octave slopes, with the High-Pass Filter (25 Hz – 3.1 kHz) incorporating a distinctive 3 dB resonant peak for extra character. The Low-Pass Filter (160 Hz – 20 kHz) provides smooth, controlled top-end shaping, allowing precise tonal control while maintaining natural musicality.

The Harrison Tone

Expect a full-bodied low end, open midrange, and silky-smooth high frequencies — the hallmarks of the Harrison sound. The Jensen transformer’s gentle frequency roll-off and natural phase shift produce a sweet, musical response that flatters virtually any source. Whether on vocals, drums, or acoustic instruments, the 32Cpre+ delivers the unmistakable warmth and depth that engineers have trusted for decades.
