EAN: 652401978268

Get all the clean gain you could ever need for the quietest mic sources with the AEA Ribbon Mics TRP3, a two-channel microphone preamp made in the USA by the same company known for its premium ribbon mics. This compact half-rack unit offers balanced XLR mic inputs and high-impedance, and low-noise circuitry, so it can yield optimal results with ribbon, condenser, or dynamic microphones.

Between the 12-position mic-pre gain and the continuously variable output level, up to 85 dB of JFET gain is available for each channel. Three LEDs are provided per channel for a clear indication of levels at -20, 0, and +24 dBu. Tame bass buildup and proximity effect at the push of a button with the low-cut filter, which cuts 3 dB at either 115 or 230 Hz, depending on your setting. The TRP3 includes an external universal switching power supply to allow operation in any country.

3rd Generation Design

The TRP3 features AEA`s third-generation circuit design for the cleanest and most musical sonic signature yet from the TRP series. The TRP3 excels at drawing out the warm lush sound for which ribbon mics are prized.
