Professional recording on the go becomes effortless with the USB Dual Pre, a compact yet powerful dual preamplifier and computer interface built for serious musicians and audio engineers. This rugged unit excels across diverse applications, from remote field recording sessions to desktop studio tracking, offering two pristine low-noise input channels with up to 48dB of clean gain. Both XLR balanced and 1/4-inch TRS inputs are available, whilst the buffered low impedance balanced 1/4-inch TRS outputs ensure professional signal integrity throughout your recording chain.
Power flexibility stands as a key strength of this versatile preamp, operating seamlessly via USB bus power, internal 9V battery, or optional external 12V supply in any combination. Battery performance is impressive, providing over 50 hours of operation without phantom power, or approximately 20 hours when powering condenser microphones through the built-in +48V phantom supply. Signal monitoring is comprehensive, featuring clip and signal present LED indicators on each channel, plus an 1/8-inch headphone output with dedicated level and monitor mix controls for latency-free local monitoring.
The rear-panel monitoring system routes the monitor mix to both headphones and the balanced 1/4-inch outputs, allowing these outputs to function as either direct preamp feeds or monitor sends to powered speakers. USB connectivity follows the 1.1 specification using adaptive mode for playback and asynchronous mode for recording, ensuring compatibility with built-in audio drivers across Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista and Apple OS9.1/OSX systems without requiring additional driver installation.,Professional recording on the go becomes effortless with the USB Dual Pre, a compact yet powerful
