Neumann - V 402

Description

The V 402 is a state-of-the art dual channel microphone preamplifier with an integrated studio grade headphone amplifier. Its transformerless circuitry is designed for maximum transparency and sonic purity. The V 402 is thus the perfect complement to all Neumann microphones in order to unveil the true character of voices and instruments.

The DI inputs, also designed for sonic purity, will capture the sound of electric guitars and bass guitars as well as other instruments without coloration or loss of detail. Sophisticated circuitry and a very high input impedance ensure a brilliant sound with no audible noise.

A switchable 20 dB pad allows the V 402 to be used with high level sources up to 28 dBu without distortion. The high pass function is carefully designed to remove pops and rumble without signal degradation.

For easy monitoring the V 402 is equipped with a studio grade headphone amplifier ensuring superb monitoring quality at the recording stage. Independent volume controls for each channel allow you to dial in a latency-free monitoring mix without affecting the recorded signal.

Features:
* Dual channel state-of-the-art transformerless microphone preamp
* Two studio quality instrument inputs with very high impedance
* Switchable low cut removes rumble without signal degradation
* Exceptionally clean headphone amplifier
* Easy monitoring mix with volume control for each channel
* Handmade in Germany
