TRUE Systems Releases New pT2 500 Series Module
At AES this weekend, TRUE Systems (distributed by Sennheiser) released its pT2-500D Precision Dynamic Preamp, expanding the pT2-500 Series with a preamp that provides more gain, higher input impedance and a unique low frequency adjust control.
TRUE's new pT2 500D preamp
The pT2-500D is an API 500 series compatible module that’s optimized for dynamic and ribbon microphones, and produces “superior results” with self-powered tube microphones.
According to the product announcement…
The pT2-500D’s low-frequency adjust control provides nuanced low-frequency contouring, better definition of vocals and bass without the need to boost high midrange, and elimination of low-frequency “mud.”
TRUE Systems pT2-500D microphone and instrument preamp module at a glance:
– API 500 series module format
– Ultra high-resolution musicality combined with analog depth and warmth
– Rail-to-Rail design provides higher internal headroom, higher maximum input level without pad, and higher output level without transformer and excessive power supply current
– Discrete FET DI with IN and THRU jacks for easy hookup to amps for simultaneous DI and amped tracking or live sound, or easy hookup to other DIs or effects for simultaneous tracking
– Detented, dual-range Gain Control for easy setting/resetting over wide gain ranges (from 7.5 to 76dB)
– 0.1% precision resistors provide exceptional common-mode and output signal balance performance, and excellent unit-to-unit sonic consistency
The pT2-500D Dynamic Mic Preamp is on display at the Sennheiser AES booth #533.
