Key Features
- Dual-Channel High-Quality Preamp:
- The TRP2 provides two channels of high-output, high-impedance, and low-noise gain, delivering a rich and natural sound that complements the unique characteristics of ribbon microphones.
- Designed for Ribbon Microphones:
- Specifically tailored for ribbon microphones, the TRP2 excels at drawing out the warmth and lush sound that ribbons are renowned for.
- Powerful High-Gain, Low-Noise Performance:
- The TRP2 serves as a powerhouse, offering unparalleled high gain with low-noise performance. With 85dB of JFET output, it provides ample juice to capture soft sources without concerns about noise.
- Versatile Solution Eliminating Concerns of Soft Signals:
- Never consider a source too quiet for recording with a ribbon mic again. The TRP2 addresses concerns of soft signals, ensuring optimal performance, especially with passive ribbons with low output levels.
- Extra High Input Impedance (63K Ohms):
- The TRP2 boasts an extra high input impedance of 63K Ohms, directly impacting the sound and tonality of dynamic microphones like ribbons and moving-coils. Higher impedance reveals the microphone's true nature, providing a thick low-end, open top-end, and articulate transient response.
- Ideal for Various Microphone Types:
- Both condenser and active microphones benefit from the TRP2's high impedance, ensuring a true representation of their characteristics.
- Compact Half-Rack Design:
- The TRP2's compact half-rack design makes it a versatile and space-saving solution suitable for various studio setups.
- Impedance Impact on Dynamic Microphones:
- The TRP2's high impedance enhances the sound of dynamic microphones, preserving the lows, highs, and transients. Preamps with an impedance under 10k ohms may limit the performance of passive microphones.
