The GC-Audio Inherit System is an innovative audio device that allows to have many types of preamplifiers in a single 19’’ rack. Its "Hot Plug" design allows users to test a wide range of assorted sounds.
 
Unlike other modular formats, it allows the implementation of high-voltage or high-current multiple-voltage preamplification technologies. In addition, the absence of space constraints and the best EMC environment allows less compromise in electronic designs. The result is simply outstanding audio quality.
The Inherit system will therefore give you access to complex preamps (such as true tube preamplifiers or complex discret design) that are impossible to get on a lunchbox.
 
It is a premium device specialized in sound recording aimed at professional sound engineers looking for uncompromising result. This new design also allows you to quickly test various preamplification technologies without a patchbay.
 
The rack’s custom power supply has been designed with great care and contains 7 unique voltages which are generated by three toroidal wire transformers.
All functions are analog but digitally controled in a well shielded construction designed to protect the signal path. This enable each cartridge to keep its unique and unadulterated sound.
 
During a take, users can quickly and easily compare e.g., the sharpness of a transistor preamp with the warmth of a real tube preamp without a patchbay.
Some cartridges are designed around proven technologies that are part of recording studio standards and others are designed from new exclusive technologies specific to the Inherit system. As for proven technologies, numerous improvements have been made to achieve a high signal to noise ratio while maintaining the original behavior and tonal color.
 
Why the GC Audio Inherit ?
 Lunchboxes are able to give you access to several good preamps, but the limited power supply and size requires electronic compromise wich affects the quality of the sound. In addition, lunchboxes shielding is not always of very good quality.
The Inherit system provides premium multiple power supply and a very good shield environment.
 
It is intended for demanding sound engineers who want uncompromising sound recording. The Inherit system is a different and more practical modular format specialized in preamplification. Although it is primarily dedicated to recording studios, its rugged construction allows for heavy touring use for recording engineers who want to use different sound colors without carrying multiple racks.
 
In an audio chain, the preamplifier is placed just before digital conversion. It is therefore by definition analog and not emulable. It is the main element for a good sound recording. The GC-Audio Inherit was developed to deliver uncompromising audio quality with the goal of upgrading proven designs while exploiting new technologies. The function of preamps is to process weak signals, so they are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference. The proprietary Inherit format keeps the sensitive part of the electronic design in a one-piece machined cartridge that serves as a Faraday cage. The performance of electromagnetic shielding is optimal, and the concept allows great convenience for the user.
