USB Dual Pre - Stereo preamp with USB
The USB Dual Pre is a full-featured high quality dual
portable preamplifier and computer interface packed into a compact
rugged case. It is designed to work over a wide variety of applications
from remote field recording to desktop/studio tracking. Each of the two
low noise input channels has up to 48 dB of clean gain with signal
present and clip LED indicators. Inputs can be either XLR balanced or
1/4-inch TRS. Each of the 1/4-inch TRS outputs is buffered low
impedance balanced.
The USB Dual Pre can be externally powered from the mains
via a supplied 12 Volt DC adapter, or from an internal 9 Volt battery,
or from the USB bus itself, or any combination of these power sources.
When running off of the battery alone, you should get in excess of 50
hours of operation when phantom power is off. Battery life drops to
around 20 hours (depending on microphone) when phantom powering from
the battery alone (still enough time to get through a session).
The built-in low noise +48 Volt phantom power supply allows you to
power up to 2 microphones as well as the preamplifier when running from
any power sources including the USB bus.
For monitoring, an 1/8-inch TRS mini headphone jack with level and
monitor mix controls on the rear allow for latency free local
monitoring of the inputs while recording as well as playback monitoring
of the USB bus. The monitor mix is also routed to the 1/4-inch TRS
balanced outputs. This lets you use the 1/4-inch outputs as either
preamplifier outputs or as the monitor feed to your powered monitors.
The USB interface is fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification and
uses USB adaptive mode for playback and USB asynchronous mode for
record. It will work with the USB audio device drivers built into
Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista and Apple OS9.1/OSX computers with native
USB support. No special drivers are needed.
The compact black anodized all aluminum case with rubber sides make for a rugged design. The USB Dual Pre will provide years of trouble free service and its high quality audio channels and versatile powering options make the USB Dual Pre the obvious choice in a wide variety of applications from Podcasting/Broadcasting to Tracking and Monitoring.
With the USB Dual Pre, your laptop, and a pair of quality condenser microphones you can do some serious remote recording.
