Product Description

The JDK Audio MP R-20 is a dual channel, high quality microphone preamp, designed from the ground up by API's design team to offer a versatile high quality input for Mmicrophones as well as instruments.

Each channel features both a mic and an instrument input, with switched phantom power, phase and pad.  Metering is traditional analog VU.

Features:

  • Dual mic preamplifiers with 54 dB of gain
  • Custom analog VU meters for monitoring output level
  • Front panel, high-impedance instrument input with 45 dB of gain
  • Peak indicator
  • Pad switch attenuates the microphone signal by 20 dB, or the instrument signal by 10 dB
  • Switchable 48v phantom power
  • Low distortion, low noise circuitry
  • Fully balanced output, both 1/4" and XLR

The MP-R20 provides two channels of premium analog microphone pre-amplification designed to provide a low noise, solid front end for all audio applications. Meticulously detailed and solidly constructed, the R20 features custom analog VU meters and hands-on analog control of the gain level.  Individual toggle switches control the selection of 48v, polarity, pad and a mic/instrument switch.

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
