• V76/80, with a switchable High Pass Filter at 80Hz and 300Hz (and a third

position with the two filters coupled), and a Low Pass Filter with a fixed

frequency of 3kHz. Both filters could be turned Off. Besides these, they also had

additional fixed input filters at 40Hz and 15kHz.

• V76/120, with a switchable High Pass Filter at 120Hz and 300Hz (and a third

position with the two filters coupled), and a Low Pass Filter with a fixed

frequency of 3kHz. Both filters could be turned Off. Besides these, they also had

additional fixed input filters at 40Hz and 15kHz.

In 1960, a special V76s version was introduced. The "s" originally stood for "Schallplatte"

(Vinyl Disk), indicating "Studio use", and in 1965 it was even officially changed to "Studio". The

V76s version may be regarded as a successor to the V72s, and was quite different from the

other V76 units, since both the High Pass and Low Pass filters featured multiple switchable

frequencies. Filter inductors were made from a Nickel/Iron alloy, and allegedly offered a

better sound performance than the standard ferrite cores in the 80/120 units.

There were also a few custom versions made over the years. We may consider the

famous EMI REDD.47 as a V72s version with a few different options, but with the same

transformers. This EMI made preamp equipped the famous REDD.51 consoles, used in all

Beatles recordings from 1964 up to 1968. Remember that the previous REDD.17 and REDD.37

consoles were powered by Siemens V72s units, as we mentioned above. One of the EMI

REDD.37 consoles was used in all Beatles recordings up to 1964, when they changed to the

REDD.51.

Telefunken used the V72 units as standard preamplifiers for their broadcast division. The

company (which became AEG-Telefunken in 1967) sold many units to radio stations in

South America, Africa and the Middle-East, where most of them are still in use today, but

despite that stopped the production of the V72 in 1966. Siemens had already stopped their

production in 1964, but built the V72b version until 1966. TAB was the only company that built

the V72a up into the 70s. In the second half of the sixties, vacuum tube devices were being

replaced by transistor-based units everywhere, because the former were more expensive

and difficult to maintain.

Arturia's version that is now presented to you is based on the V76/80. Since these units didn't

have an EQ (just input filters), it is coupled with another classic unit of the same period, the

V612 EQ. This was a simple 2-band EQ, featuring High Shelf and Low Shelf bands with fixed

frequencies.

1.1. Arturia's secret ingredient: TAE®

TAE® (True Analog Emulation) is Arturia's outstanding technology dedicated to the digital

reproduction of analogue circuits used in vintage synthesizers.

TAE®’s software algorithms result in spot-on emulation of analogue hardware. This is why

V76-Pre offers an unparalleled quality of sound, as do all of Arturia’s virtual synthesizers

and plug-ins.
