The MP 2A is a combined mic preamp/DI, based on a classic TUBE-TECH design, but featuring even higher fidelity and a few new features: An impedance switch to match the input perfectly to all types of microphones, an overload indicator and 2 dB gain steps. MP2A is the second in the new range of upgraded microphone preamplifier/DI’s. (The modular PM1A was the first.) These new preamps feature even higher headroom and fidelity than the earlier TUBE-TECH micpre”s. Serious listening tests of the MP 2A have revealed a sound quality second to none, placing it among a handful of the world’s very best designs. The MP 2A DI continues the TUBE-TECH tradition of extremely good sounding DI’s, delivering world class sound for bass and guitar DI recordings. You simply won’t find a better DI than this! Features The TUBE-TECH MP2A is a combined Microphone Preamplifier and Direct Instrument amplifier. The input provides switchable +48 V phantom power, selectable mic. impedance of 600/1200/2400 Ohm, phase reverse switch, low-cut filter (20 Hz/40 Hz/off), as well as a switchable -20 dB pad. Gain is adjustable from +10 dB to +70 dB.( 10db steps, coarse +2 dB steps, fine.) The Direct Instrument Input are unbalanced with a gain ranging from + 10 dB to + 60 dB. The amplifier is all tube. Input transformer is enclosed in a MU-metal can. Input and output transformers come with a static screen between the primary and secondary wirings. The input and output are balanced as well as fully floating. All-tube design featuring push-pull output amplifier Technical Frequency response @ -3 dB: 5 Hz to 60 kHz Typical noise: 5 dB @ 200Ω CMRR: > 60 dB @ 10 kHz Gain: +10 dB to +70 dB in 2 dB steps – DI gain: 0-60 dB Selectable mic input impedance: 600 Ω/1.2 kΩ/2.4 kΩ Selectable pad in front of input transformer (-20 dB ) Selectable +48 V phantom power Low cut filter (20 Hz/40 Hz/Off) Phase reverse Overload indicator Gold plated switches DI jack input for a variety of instruments DI input impedance > 1 MΩ MU-metal shielded input transformer In- and outputs are transformer balanced and fully floating
