Two-channel preamp with stunning 81dB gain
low noise and clean JFET transistor amplification
detented gain control in 12 steps
semi-parametric Equalizer between 2.5kHz - 30kHz for easy treble featurings (great for ribbon microphones)
variable low-cut filter for attenuating the proximity effect
super high impedance of 63kΩ for detailed transients, natural frequency response and high output sensitivity
high-end DI jack inputs with Hi-Z function for instant instrument recording
Mic & Line inputs including post-mic and Pre EQ insert connections
48V phantom power and switchable phase rotation

Technical data:

Frequency response @-3dB: 1Hz - 100kHz
Input impedance with phantom power switched on: 10kΩ (thus also perfectly suitable for condenser microphones)
Input impedance Line & Hi-Z: <5mΩ
LF shelf filter: -3dB at cutoff frequency, selectable between 22Hz - 515Hz, maximum attenuation: -20dB
Curve EQ: +3dB at cutoff frequency, selectable between 2.5kHz - 30kHz, up to +20dB boost, variable automatic slope depending on setting
dimensions: 48.5cm x 23cm x 4.45cm

High-end weapon for dynamic microphones

The AEA RPQ2 is a high-end microphone preamplifier with an enormous gain of up to 81dB, predestined for ribbon and moving coil microphones. Its JFET transistor amplification has been highly tuned to get the maximum result out of these inherently low-level microphone types.

"What about my condenser microphone?"

But that's not all! The RPQ2 is also excellent for condenser microphones. When phantom power is switched on, the impedance at the microphone input is reduced to 10kΩ, ensuring optimal signal transfer.

What else can the Preamp do?

The RPQ2 is also equipped with a semi-parametric air EQ, which can be used to boost the high frequencies, where dynamic microphones are usually weak. In addition, the crosstalk effect can be effectively stopped with a variably adjustable low-cut filter.

Can I only connect microphones?

Instruments and line signals can also be connected directly to the RPQ2 via DI or line inputs. In addition, only the preamp or only the EQ can be looped in via the insert on the rear panel.
