UP-012 preliminary amplifier (preamp) - the body of the Microphone amplifies the sound picked up from the capsule to bring the output to the correct level for use in conjunction with the balanced input of a mixer. It also has an integrated attenuation pad (-10dB and-20dB) and low cut filter (75Hz and 150Hz).
- Attenuator reduces the microphone sensitivity by 10 and 20 dB. Useful when miking a particularly loud sound source such as a guitar cabinet at high volumes etc to achieve a more manageable signal.
- Low-cut filter attenuates frequencies lower than 75Hz or 150Hz. At the same time it pass the frequencies above this boundary unabated.
UP-012 universal preamp fits MK-012, MK-101, MK-102, MK-103, MK-104 capsules.
