AEA TRP500 500 Series Microphone Preamp
500 Series Microphone Preamp with Phantom Power, Polarity Reverse, and Highpass Filter
Clean Gain for Your Low-output Mics
The AEA TRP500 packs the company's vaunted TRP preamp into a convenient 500 Series module. Like its predecessor, the TRP500 excels on low-output ribbon mics and dynamic microphones. That said, engineers at Sweetwater have found this high-performance 500 Series module to be an outstanding pre for any mic — period. It delivers 85dB of quiet, DC-coupled JFET gain, with an ultra-high impedance of 100k ohms. Simply put, the TRP500 captures the full, vibrant resolution of your low-output microphones without adding noise to your mix. This mic pre also packs a switchable highpass filter, switchable phantom power, and polarity reverse. Anyone searching for a great-sounding mic preamp with loads of clean gain will get lots of mileage out of the AEA TRP500.
Optimized for ribbons, dynamics, and other low-output mics
AEA's TRP500 offers an impressive 85dB of JFET gain, more than enough to bring your lowest-output mics up to proper recording levels. It's also an exceptional preamp for condenser mics, including tube condensers. The minimal signal path and external power supply bring down the noise floor to an almost imperceptible level. Your ribbons and dynamic mics will sound loud, clean, and open, with fuller bass response and greater sense of depth.
Bring out the full potential in
all
your microphones
The TRP500 delivers a sweet, musical, and articulate sound that brings out the full potential in all your microphones. Thanks to its ultra-high 100k ohms input impedance, the TRP500 optimizes your mics' transients, frequency response, and output sensitivity, while its switchable 115Hz or 230Hz highpass filter lets you minimize proximity effect and rumble. This compact 500 Series module is also equipped with phantom power and polarity reverse switches.
