MA3

Microphone Amplifier


The Microphone Amplifier is a two-channel high gain, low noise preamplifier with both 1/4" TRS connectors and balanced XLR microphone inputs for optimum impedance and noise characteristics. The Microphone Amplifier features variable gain from 10 dB to 55 dB in 5 dB steps, a toggle switch providing 20 dB of additional gain (maximum amplification of 5600x), and a bias switch for microphones requiring a bias voltage. Two BNC outputs provide easy connection to any TDT System 3 device.
