True Systems PT2-500D Precision Mic/Instrument Preamp for 500 Series

The pT2-500D Dynamic Mic Preamp from TRUE Systems is optimized for dynamic and ribbon microphones, it also produces superior results with self- powered tube mics.

While similar to the TEC Award-nominated pT2-500, the pT2-500D provides more gain (76 dB versus 70 dB) and higher input impedance, along with a unique low-frequency adjust control. The LO-F Adjust is a 6-position switch that provides nuanced low-frequency contouring that can be particularly effective with vocals and bass DI applications. A discrete FET DI with In and Thru connections completes the package.

Features:

• APITM 500 series module format
• Continuous gain control and dual gain ranges for:
  • 76 dB maximum gain
  • Easy gain reset
  • Easy gain setting over wide gain ranges
• High input impedance for:
  • More clarity and accuracy with ribbon and dynamic microphones
  • Low frequency adjust control for:
  • Nuanced low frequency contouring
  • Better definition of vocals and bass without boosting high midrange
  • Elimination of low frequency “mud”
• “Real DI” with IN and THRU jacks for:
  • Easy hookup to amps for simultaneous DI and amped tracking or live sound
  • Easy hookup to other DIs or effects for simultaneous tracking or live sound
• Totally balanced topology for:
  • Insensitivity to ground noise/loops
  • Insensitivity to EMI, both externally and from adjacent modules/power supplies
  • Reduced distortion
• Rail-to-Rail design for:
  • Higher internal headroom
  • Higher maximum input level without pad
  • Higher output level without transformer and excessive power supply current
• 0.1% precision resistors for:
  • Exceptional common-mode and output signal balance performance
  • Excellent unit-to-unit sonic consistency
• Steel enclosure for:
  • Protection from EMI and RFI
  • Protection from ESD and handling contamination/damage
• 4-Level signal meter
