Chandler Limited Germ 500 MKII Preamp Shop all Chandler Limited

The Germ 500 MKII is an updated version of the original Germ 500 preamp. With an improved faceplate, this unit uses classic germanium transistors in all Class A, transformer balanced circuits.

The Germ 500 MKII is our well-known Germanium Preamp adapted for 500 series racks. We use the same transformers and amp blocks to assure the sound is consistent with our rack version. We've updated the power on the MKII so there no known power-up issues with current lunchboxes and rack systems.
