ART Pro Audio - DJPRE-2

Description

BEST BUDGET PHONO PREAMP OF 2022
"Perhaps its most exciting feature is a low-end roll-off switch that cuts some of the boominess from older distorted vinyl, or a turntable's drive rumble, without cutting much out of the mix. On the front of the device, there's a centrally located gain knob (up to +10 dB), with a convenient clip indicator, as well as the low-cut switch and input cap button. It's a lot of features for such a good price."

The DJ PRE II (formerly named the "Phono MicroPRE") is the perfect solution for connecting a turntable to any analog low impedance line input (mixer, soundcard or DAW). The input capacitance can be switched between 100pF and 200pF to optimize your phono cartridge response. A switchable low cut filter removes turntable rumble while leaving the audio pristine. The front gain trim control and signal/clip LED allow you to optimize the DJ PRE II gain for virtually any input sources. The built-in low noise phono preamp circuitry is highly accurate and precisely conforms to the RIAA standard.

Housed in an all aluminum black anodized case, the DJ PRE II can be powered by a wide variety of external supplies. If you need to amplify and EQ your vinyl records when connecting with your audio workstation, sound card, home stereo system or main monitor system, the DJ PRE II gives you flawless audio reproduction in a rugged and reliable package.
