Achtkanaals microfoonvoorversterker met 120V-Technology
Product omschrijving
Mic Gain
The gain is adjusted by an analog potentiometer.
The pre-amplification ranges from +18 dB to +70 dB.
VU-10
With this switch the level displayed in the VU meter can be adjusted by -10 dB. This is very handy to display high levels.
48 V
The 48V switch activates the required phantom power of 48 volts for the use of condenser microphones. The red LED indicates that the phantom power is active.
Ø
Activating the polarity reversal switch turns the
polarity of a microphone signal by 180°.
PAD
By activating the PAD switch, the input sensitivity can be reduced by 20 dB. This allows the preamplifier to be ideally adapted to high level input signals.
Tip: With PAD activated, Crescendo 8 also works perfectly with line-level input signals.
Built-in Output Splitter
All eight microphone preamps have two parallel outputs each. This allows the signal to be sent to two different devices in parallel. One output each is available as XLR line output. The respective second outputs are available as a DB25 jack. These can for example be ideally connected to a multi-channel AD converter, with the for this kind of device type typical DB25 input. An additional external signal splitter for back-up systems during a recording session is therefore no longer necessary.
Perfection in detail
The input differential amplifiers are constructed with pairs of transistors, each of which is combined in a housing. Precise matching of the transistors and thermal coupling ensure high common-mode rejection and extremely low THD values. The choice of transistors and resistors has a decisive influence on the sound. In countless listening sessions the optimal components for Crescendo were selected – the effort paid off!
More sound through innovation
SPL's 120V SUPRA operational amplifiers work as current amplifiers, which also offer pure class A operation with over 6 mA quiescent current. They largely dispense with coupling capacitors in order to avoid their sonic disadvantages (diffuse, sloping, loss of dynamics). In order to eliminate DC voltage components active servo circuits are used.
Crescendo or Crescendo 8?
With the new revision, the eight-channel microphone preamplifier with 120V technology – Crescendo – also receives, in addition to the name extension by the number “8”, a facelift in the current design of the SPL Studio series.
The black front panel and the revised housing are, in addition to the change of name, the only distinguishing features from the original version, since this technically already pushes the envelope.
What’s the difference?
• “Crescendo” becomes “Crescendo 8”.
• Crescendo 8 comes with a black front panel.
• Crescendo 8 comes with a different housing.
