Switchable gain stages
Delivering a consistent, clean and stable amount of gain, the DM2 features two gain stage levels for flexible performance on a range of sources. Offering a neutral and balanced sound with extremely low noise, the DM2 Active Inline Preamp boasts uncompromising sound quality with extremely high audio fidelity to maintain every detail of your signal. The uncompromising design boosts the signal independent from the load impedance or cable length, meaning that no matter how long your cable length is, you can enjoy optimum audio and gain performances with zero noise in your signal. Matched perfectly for passive microphones such as dynamic or passive ribbon microphones, the DM2 effectively eliminates any RF interference, letting you enjoy an extremely clean signal transfer between your source and your mixing desk or audio interface.
Get the best sound from your microphone collection with variable input load
Typically, inline preamps will use a series of internal electronics that will result in the signal clarity being reduced and therefore experiencing a lower output level. Ensuring you can achieve the best signal transfer between your passive microphones and your source, the DM2 uses an ultra-high impedance input to effectively take the load of any passive microphone. At the twist of a dial, you can explore eight impedance settings from a low 50 ohms to an extremely high 10 Mohms, allowing you to match your DM2 Active Inline Preamp to your microphone to get the most accurate and detailed sound from your collection. Of course with these options, you are encouraged to experiment with your microphone collection to find a tone and character that helps you achieve your desired outcome.
Sophisticated Class-A electronics and dedicated output buffer
Using hand-selected, premium-grade FETs in conjunction with an elaborate and sophisticated electronic design, the DM2 Active Inline Preamp performs better than any other product available in its class. Plugging in your passive microphone has never sounded this good, allowing you to create studio-quality recordings effortlessly. The transformerless design ensures that your microphone signal will retain all of the detail while reducing any RF interference, buzz and hum that might occur.
Slim, rugged all-metal housing with premium finish
Whether you're a studio engineer, live sound engineer or musician, the DM2 is built to withstand the most challenging environments. Constructed from high-quality materials and attention to detail, the DM2 Active Inline Preamp boasts a rugged and road-ready all-metal design that is ready for both on the stage or in the studio. A gold-plated XLR connector rounds out the design to deliver reliable, lossless signal transfer.
