AEA RPQ2 Dual-Channel Microphone PReamp (C101653)

The AEA RPQ Ribbon Preamp with Curve-Shaping provides two channels of high-quality, high-gain, low-noise microphone preamplification, and unlike the TRP, provides phantom power for active electronics. Building on the success of AEA’s TRP (“The Ribbon Pre”), we engineered a recording toolkit packed full of professional solutions for your recording needs. Particularly well-suited for use with ribbon microphones, it delivers the speed, precision, quietness, and headroom needed for today's high-resolution recordings. The NoLoad™ input impedance above 10 kΩ means the RPQ won’t load down a mic and change its sound. The JFET circuit design generates up to 80 dB of clean and quiet gain, with extended bandwidth from below 1 Hz to beyond 200 kHz, for dynamic range and transient response that complements all microphones. Engineers have discovered that the RPQ also complements their moving coil, tube and solid-state mics. By virtue of its sonic qualities and versatility, the AEA RPQ is the tool of
