500 series EM-Silver Has a custom wound steel output transformer which will translate into a darker sound than the P-1, EM-Red, and EM-Blue. This pre is a good match for ribbon microphones, due to the fact that steel transformers were widely used in the early days of recording and broadcast along with ribbon microphones.
The DI (direct inject) on the EM-Silver works great with bass guitar and keyboards. Or try it on the ‘kick’ when recording drums.
