TK Audio DP3 2-channel Microphone Preamp

Description: A High-ticket Hybrid of Vintage and Modern Circuits The TK Audio DP3 packs two feature-laden channels of flagship-quality mic preamplification into a convenient 1U rackmount chassis. At the heart of each of the DP3’s channels, you’ll find a high-headroom, Lundahl-loaded input stage with up to 80dB of squeaky-clean, straight-wire gain. That said, the DP3 includes a switchable, Carnhill-loaded Class A stage tailor-made for applications that demand the vintage-tinged punch of a classic British console. You also get selectable germanium and saturation circuits, equipping you with even more options for adding personality to your tracks. Moreover, the DP3 includes a dedicated Output level knob placed after the Class A stage for dialing up your harmonic character without overloading your A/D converter. Each of the DP3’s channels abound with professional features, such as a sweepable highpass filter, 48-volt phantom power, a -30dB pad, selectable input impedance, polarity invert, and a top-shelf hi-Z Sweetwater is an Authorized TK Audio Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty TK Audio DP3 2-channel Microphone Preamp 2-channel Microphone Preamp and Instrument DI with Selectable Vintage-style Class A Stage, Germanium Stage, and Saturation A High-ticket Hybrid of Vintage and Modern Circuits The TK Audio DP3 packs two feature-laden channels of flagship-quality mic preamplification into a convenient 1U rackmount chassis.

Complete with an 8-LED headroom meter and easy-to-see illuminated switches, the TK Audio DP3 is a true workhorse; it would make a high-potency addition to any studio’s preamp arsenal.Multiple sonic personalities If you only have room for one 2-channel microphone preamp in your studio’s toolbox, the DP3 is a fine choice, as its hybrid design provides you with a functional stockpile of vintage and modern sonic textures. The DP3’s core sound is based around a high-headroom input stage, which employs a high-quality Swedish Lundahl transformer to give you up to 80dB of clean, transparent gain. Enabling the DP3’s vintage-style Class A stage inserts a heavy, custom-made Carnhill transformer into your signal path for a fat, punchy sound reminiscent of the classic British consoles so many of us cut our teeth on here at Sweetwater. You also get a selectable saturation circuit for adding odd harmonics to your signal, along with a selectable germanium circuit that adds both odd and even harmonics to your signal while also softening its highest frequencies. Furthermore, since the DP3’s Class A stage is inserted in front of the preamp’s Output level control, you can drive the transformer as hard as you want without overloading your A/D converter.Abounding with professional features The TK Audio DP3 includes all the features you’d expect from a pro-level mic pre. For starters, each channel consists of a sweepable highpass filter with a range of 30Hz to 400Hz for fine-tuning your signal’s low end. Next, 48-volt phantom power enables seamless compatibility with your condenser microphones, and a -30dB pad makes capturing extra-loud sound sources a piece of cake. The DP3 includes selectable input impedance, allowing you to toggle between 1,600 and 400 ohms to best accommodate your microphone, and a polarity invert for flipping the polarity of your audio signal. Each channel also includes a hi-Z instrument input with a dedicated activation switch, so you can keep your instrument connected all the time. You also get a hi-Z direct mode function that bypasses the input transformer and bumps up the gain +14dB — the perfect solution for recording a DI’d electric bass together with the DP3’s Class A stage.TK Audio DP3 Features: The latest iteration of TK Audio’s flagship 2-channel microphone preamp Combines both vintage and modern circuits for maximum sonic flexibility Built around a high-headroom, Lundahl-loaded input stage with up to 80dB of transparent gain Switchable Carnhill-loaded Class A stage delivers a fat, punchy sound reminiscent of a classic British console Selectable saturation circuit adds odd harmonics to your signal Selectable germanium circuit adds both odd and even harmonics to your signal while softening its high end Dedicated Output level knob drives the transformer without overloading your A/D converter Sweepable highpass filter with a range of 30–400Hz 48V phantom power, -30dB pad, selectable input impedance, and polarity invert Selectable input impedance toggles between 1,600 and 400 ohms to best accommodate your microphone Top-shelf hi-Z instrument DI input with dedicated activation switch and hi-Z direct mode function 8-LED headroom meter and easy-to-see illuminated switches SpecificationDetail Preamp Type Solid State Number of Channels 2 Phantom Power Yes Analog Inputs 2 x XLR, 2 x 1/4" (Hi-Z) Analog Outputs 2 x XLR Signal Processing High Pass Filter, 30Hz-400Hz Rack Spaces 1U Power Source Standard IEC AC cable Height 1.75" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
