Description:
Portable two channel (stereo) preamp with 9vdc "plug in power" to power mini microphones
Finally, a great sounding, low noise, high quality preamp that runs on a battery! This preamp will give you professional quality amplification for your microphones. Other similar preamps available (sometimes for under $50) offer similar amplification, but not with this low level of noise and distortion. When looking for a mic preamp, it's important to look closely at the frequency response, noise and distortion specifications. If you don't see them, there is usually a good reason! Previously, preamps of this quality cost several hundred dollars - now, you can get professional quality for much less!
The output cable is available in two versions: A permanently installed "hardwired" cable or one of several removable cable options (see option box above). On the hardwired versions, there is a power switch to turn the unit on and off. On the removable cable version, the power is turned off by unplugging the output cable.

- Used to raise high or low impedance microphone signal level to line level
- 3 amplifier gain ranges for maximum flexibility:
- 0dB gain for recording loud sounds (loud rock concerts, etc.)
- 22dB gain for recording medium sounds (acoustic music, lectures, meetings, rehearsals, etc.)
- 42dB gain for recording quiet sounds (nature sounds, distant talking, soft spoken people, etc.)
- Output level control - allows you to fine tune the output of the preamp within the gain range you select (especially useful for recorders that do not have recording level adjustments built-in). Note: This control comes after the amplifier, not before, to maximize performance and minimize noise.
