The solid-state Preamplifier features switchable phantom power, polarity invert, and peak amplitude clip detection. The transformerless output stage of the preamplifier can easily drive long cable runs without loss of quality, making it suitable for remote recordings. Transparent gain is switchable from 5 to 60 dB in 5 dB steps.
The microphone preamplifier topology provides strong common mode rejection, a high overload margin, and a low noise floor, combined with the wide bandwidth of the preamplifiers (1 Hz to 200 kHz +0.5 dB), and distortion of less than one part per million (0.0001%). This level of performance is maintained over an extensive range of impedances applied to the input, making the preamplifier suitable for practically any microphone - ribbon, dynamic, or condenser.
