Designed and built in Yorkshire, UK, the Crossfire range of preamps bridges the gap between traditional and modern engineering.
By combining both premium analogue input and output stages and cutting-edge DSP capabilities with purposeful and experience-lead design, the whole range delivers enhanced flexibility and control over that previously available.
As well as studio quality microphone and phono preamplifiers and enhanced control over your sound system with features like the sub graphic equalizer the Crossfire range offers fully customisable, mathematically and electronically accurate crossovers, EQs, delays, polarity controls and limiters, due to highly capable, industry standard DSP architecture.
Alongside precision electronic engineering, premium feel, reliability and user experience are prioritised to deliver the next step in reggae preamp design.

12 band graphic EQ
4 band bass graphic
This EQ is only applied on the Sub output, giving more control over your scoops or bass boxes
HPF knob - This allows you to drop the subs in and then manually adjust the HPF frequency to drop the bass extra deep when needed or to free up valuable power eaten by, sometimes unnecessary, low sub frequencies, depending on material being played.
Filters
Resonant LPF with Frequency and Resonance control
Resonant HPF with Frequency and Resonance control
Growl
Amount knob
This dictates the amount of growl effect imparted on the sub frequencies
Dry/ Wet knob
This allows the operator to run full growl or to tame it by running a drier signal to the output, allowing for extra control and different ways of playing. For instance, one could run the amount of growl on full but only feed a little signal to the output. Alternatively, one could decide to run full wet but only allow a small amount of growl
