AEA now shipping RPQ500 Preamp with CurveShaper TM for API 500 series

The new RPQ500 module is based on the successful design of the fullrack RPQ preamplifier and provides the same ultra-clean, high-gain signal path that has earned AEA preamps their great reputation. The RPQ500 has been enhanced with additional features, turning it into a workhorse tool for any API 500 compatible rack.

With 81 dB of quiet JFET gain and a NoLoadTM input impedance above 10,000 ?, it delivers the bandwidth and quietness needed for high resolution recording. The CurveShaperTM offers a natural option for sculpting your sound right at the start of the signal path. Switchable and tunable low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) contour controls allow engineers to tame proximity problems and provide HF extension and slope control. The high-frequency CurveShaperTM excels at adding a touch of air or presence, and the low-frequency control can remove boxiness and boominess in a fast and unobtrusive way. The Line/Mic switch bypasses the microphone gain stage and allows the EQ to be used for tracking with other preamps or during mixdown. Add the output level control, and the RPQ500 becomes a high-quality processing tool that can be used for mixing and mastering when combined with summing racks and mixers such as the Purple Audio Moiyn or the Roll Music Folcrom.

The first 100 units of the RPQ500 preamp have started shipping before Christmas 2011 at a list price of $649.00. Demo units will be available for auditioning at the NAMM show, January 19-22, 2012 in Anaheim, CA. Visit AEA at Booth #7106 for a close-up look at the newest addition to AEA’s award-winning mic preamps.

Living in Abu Dhabi UAE, so far I CANNOT find stockist of acoustic/isolation equipment?
There is one stockist in Dubai but that is quite a drive.
Shipping from abroad would obviously be v expensive.
Anyone know of any good quality stockists out here?
