With up to 70 dB of clean gain it handles anything from a loud guitar cab to a quiet ribbon mic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClean or British-flavoured with one switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of filling two lunchbox slots with two preamps, you choose the electronically balanced output for a clean, modern tone associated with the 80s and 90s, or the discrete Class A output with a Carnhill transformer for the low-mid punch and thick sound of early 70s British desks. A selectable saturation stage adds harmonics when a track needs more attitude, and the sweepable 30 to 400 Hz high-pass filter at 12 dB\/oct lets you shape the low end before it reaches your converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBass and guitar straight through a discrete path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hi-Z instrument input has a Direct mode that sends the signal straight to the output stage, bypassing the preamp stage while still allowing the saturation and filter to be inserted. Combined with the Class A stage this gives a very nice discrete path for bass recording without a separate DI box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid design: transformerless input stage and two output stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 70 dB of clean gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically balanced or discrete Class A output with Carnhill transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable saturation stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweepable HPF 30 to 400 Hz, 12 dB\/oct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Z input with Direct mode to the output stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-30 dB pad, 48 V phantom power, polarity switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated switches and output level control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: single-slot 500 series preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: switch in 5 dB steps, 15 to 70 dB (-15 to 40 dB with -30 dB pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 2400 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument input impedance: 1 MOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDI Direct gain: +15 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax output level: +25 dBu electronically balanced, +24 dBu Class A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N at +20 dBu: 0.0008% electronically balanced, 0.007% Class A, 0.9% with saturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: -0.6 dB at 80 kHz electronically balanced, -0.5 dB at 20 kHz Class A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower requirement: +130 mA \/ -130 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TK Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55776508281169,"sku":"61410","price":933.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/tk-audio-sp502-1.jpg?v=1794482399","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/es\/products\/tk-audio-sp502","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
