Hand-crafted in Spain using audio-optimised components including an exclusive Carnhill input transformer, the Cocoa boasts an all-analogue circuitry to add warmth and depth to your sound.
Suitable for dynamic and passive ribbon microphones, the Tierra Audio Cocoa will boost your signal level to add a rich, harmonic and natural saturation with a gentle treble roll off that is perfectly suited for vocalists, podcasters, streamers and clean instruments such as acoustic guitar.
Analogue microphone boosters with studio quality
Tierra Audio's Flavours Preamps are a collection of all-analogue inline microphone preamplifiers that will bring an extra dose of gain, texture and colour to your vocal and instrument recordings, as well as your live performances.
Simply plug in your favourite microphone and start singing or playing your instrument: You'll be amazed with your "new sound"!
Thanks to the wide range of flavours offered, you can enjoy different gain levels: from an enhanced and crystalline sound, to different types and intensities of "sonic flavours", all specially designed to bring a unique character without losing a drop of musicality.
Some flavours are warm and subtle, whilst others are sharper, hotter, denser and more saturated. Others provide more definition, more grain, or even more 'crunch!'
Whatever your favourite flavour of mic pre, Tierra Audio's Flavours collection has something to spice up your input recording chain.
Handmade in Spain
Like all Tierra Audio products, the Flavours Preamps are handmade with tons of love in Madrid (Spain), with circuits and electronic components of the highest quality.
These products are the result of the joint efforts of engineers, musicians, designers, and producers to provide a full range of "portable flavours" that will enrich and nuance the sound of your microphones.
Each of these seven microphone preamplifiers works thanks to the phantom power (48V) of your audio interface or your mixing console, returning the boosted signal from your microphone.
This will improve the ability of your audio interface to pick up and manipulate the sound with the highest quality, solving some of the noise problems you may be experiencing with your microphone, and allowing you to use longer cables and providing an extra dose of colour depending on the flavour you have chosen.
Your creativity will rule as you record voices and instruments of all kinds!
Take them wherever you go
Ultra-compact and portable, the Tierra Audio Cocoa is the perfect companion to the gigging musician.
Designed to fit in any case or gigbag, you can carry your signature flavour with you wherever you go without the need for any batteries or mains power thanks to the passive design.
Use it on stage, in the studio, during rehearsals, at home for your livestreams, or wherever you may be in the world.
