AP-1 Microphone Preamplifier

News and Documents

Acquiring good sound and listening
accurately to what is happening -
arguably the most important things
you ever do in professional audio

The AP 1 is an single channel microphone preamplifier with an ultra low-noise circuit design, wide dynamic range and very linear amplification characteristics. The AP 1 provides highly accurate performance at low signal levels whilst delivering incredibly low distortion contributions at high signal levels. It is ideally suited to use with large diaphragm transistor condenser microphones that have extremely low noise levels and high outputs. Recommended applications are for recording speech, vocals and acoustic instruments. The intuitive and uncomplicated controls of the AP 1 guarantee undistracted focus on your recording.
