The Ultra Vulture
€3060 ex VAT outside Norway, including shipping
———————————————————-
The Ultra Vulture is the latest incarnation of the Culture Vulture. This model brings features from the standard Culture Vulture and the Super 15 together with a new focus on stereo use. So setup time for use on a stereo bus is now quicker and easier to achieve.
Featuring: Lowest noise, highest headroom and optimisation for stereo use
Tighter stereo balance of controls
Lower minimum distortion, allowing focus on transient peak saturation and limiting effect
Extra mid way +10dB setting on Drive switch, before Overdrive (+20dB).
Broad Presence lift control.
-10dB attenuator enables comparison between the above, also useful to control high levels.
Extra Output level to easily drive DAWs with suitable headroom.
Transformer balanced line input and output, unbalanced high impedance DI input.
Line inputs and outputs on XLRs.
Low pass filter to remove unwanted HF harmonic products.
Extra low noise. Long life, selected NOS valves, carefully matched for stereo.
Bypass switches connect Line In direct to Hi output avoiding all electronics.
Hand made in England.

Further info:
The Ultra Vulture is the latest incarnation of the Culture Vulture. This model brings features from the standard Culture Vulture and the Super 15 together with a new focus on stereo use. Setup time on a stereo bus is now quicker and easier to achieve. The sweet spot of the controls is centred around stereo use, giving instantly useable enhancement by setting all main controls to 12 o’clock.
The optimisation of the circuit also brings the noise floor down even further. Combined with the high headroom this allows the distortion valve to give an extremely useful soft limiting effect to the audio with a low noise floor. The body of the mix can stay relatively free from distortion but the transients and peaks will be attenuated by the soft limiting effect. Allowing analogue mixes or masters to sound at least 3dB louder with no negative side effects. Combine this with the +10 drive high frequency lift for an enhanced but well controlled mix bus or mastering processor.
Of course going further than 3dB of limiting and introducing some valve harmonic content is all down to your personal taste…. all the way to severe sonic destruction if that’s what is needed!
