ART RP-1 Preamp for Dynamic and Passive Ribbon Microphones

ART RP-1 Preamp for Dynamic and Passive Ribbon Microphones
The ART RP-1 is a single channel microphone preamp, ideal for improving the performance of passive ribbon and dynamic microphones. Features a variable impedance control, making the best tonal performance, and a low-cut filter set to 100Hz. Requires phantom power.

Great Design
Introducing the RP-1 Mic Preamp, a single channel preamp to improve the performance of passive ribbon and dynamic microphones. This preamp brings out all of the nuances of a microphone before running into your recording interface or mixer through long cable runs. With the RP1 the user can tailor the loading on the mic through the variable impedance control. The low cut filter allows the removal of wind noise and plosives before adding additional gain. The discrete preamp circuitry inside is designed for low noise and transparent operation. Balanced output drives long cable runs with ease allowing the preamp to be placed as close as possible to the mic before picking up any noise or interference.

Features:

• Switchable low cut filter 100 Hz low cut filter 
• Variable impedance control (150 ohms – 10k ohms) 
• Adds low-noise, clean gain (28dB @ 10k ohms, 20dB @ 600 ohms) 
• Runs off +48V Phantom power supply 
• Low THD discrete circuitry (<0.002% @ 1kHz typ.) 
• Balanced outputs
