THIS UNIT IS KIT BUILT. The BA500 mic pre uses 1 JLM audio 99V discrete opamp to provide 60dB of gain. It is aimed at getting big but realistic vocals and acoustic instruments like our Dual99v500 but BA500 can only do 60dB of gain. With the impedance control 200 to 3k it goes from dark and slow to airy and fast tone wise. A centre detent at Z is the best starting point. Also has large fully buffered white LED backlit 34mm VU meter showing output level.
Using the Unit
When using this unit with the mic input the phantom power needs to be turned on in the 500 series enclosure/rack unit otherwise only the DI input operates. (This is likely obvious to everyone else but I forgot initially when testing the pre)
The Unit
This unit is kit build and very tidy and has always functioned as designed. I can't vouch for the accuracy of meter calibration etc but it's always been a great pre. I've had this unit for some time and whilst I've fully tested it and everything works well as expected I'm listing as very good rather than excellent condition due to age and a usage as shown in the photo.
Shipping
I will ship in 1 business day via Australia Post standard parcel.
