MA3

Microphone Amplifier


The Microphone Amplifier is a two-channel high gain, low noise preamplifier with both phono 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.
