“Knowing that I have 12 channels of pure, musical, lifelike capture permits me to focus my attention on what really matters: my relationship with the artist, the content of their ideas and what I can do to help them communicate with their audience.”

“When Hazel first arrived on my doorstep, there were no firm plans in place, but I knew she was here to stay. Right from the start, she exuded a presence and self confidence which was undeniable. A classic beauty, spanning time, she does not give away all her secrets straight away. I find myself constantly drawn to her, hungry to hear more…”

– Colin Hay

Producer/Lead Vocalist: Men at Work & Solo Artist

“Simply put the VLC is a stunning sounding Tube Mic pre! Easy to use and handled every vocal and instrument I ran through it with incredible sonic results. Running a bass direct through the VLC produced some of the best bass tones I’ve heard throughout my career. The VLC turned heads and ears during my recording sessions!”

– Brian Moncarz

Award-Winning Engineer / Producer

“It takes a lot to keep up with a band like Death Angel, but the Hazelrigg Industries VLC Preamp comes ready to fight. It's all about tone, power and control and the VLC delivers every time”

“I use 4 VLCs in my studio because they sound good. Really good”

– John O’Reilly Jr.

Engineer/Drummer/Educator

“The VLC instantly became an integral part of my mixing workflow. Anything I send through them simply comes out better! Warmer, more forward, punchier, wider. The works. The EQ is incredibly capable but also limited in a way that allows me to move quickly, making musical decisions and loving the results every time. I cannot imagine myself working without these by my side. I highly recommend and love my stereo pair!”

– Brandon Unis

Head Producer: Velveteen Music

“I have been searching for something like this for a while. The VLC is an extremely high quality recording channel and I have found myself pushing the EQ to the max without really realizing. It never gets harsh, ever. But when I need that tube goodness I need it to perform every time and this for me is the deciding factor between purchasing a new tube preamp and a vintage one. I am confident the VLC will continue to do its thing for many, many years to come.”
