Product Description
The SPL Crescendo duo v2 is a dual-channel microphone preamplifier with 120V technology. Both channels feature the same range of functions. Besides phantom power (48V) for condenser microphones, polarity reversal, a high-pass filter and a PAD switch, they provide the possibility to adjust the VU meter to display very high levels – so they leave nothing to be desired. The gain can be adjusted comfortably and precisely via a 12-step switch. With the switchable output control, the output level of the Crescendo duo can be perfectly adapted to following AD converters. Two outputs per channel allow the signal to be sent to two different devices in parallel. In addition to the extensive feature set and the outstanding technical characteristics, Crescendo duo convinces with a sonic authenticity that is second to none.
With the revision v2, the Crescendo duo receives an update in the new design of the SPL Studio series. Crescendo duo v2 remains true to its motto:
"Crescendo duo lets microphones shine in a whole new light – they have never been amplified like this before."
The Crescendo duo v2 has a 4 mm thick, black anodized aluminum front panel and aluminum knobs milled from solid. The housing is made of high-quality steel and is powder-coated in elegant black.
CONTROLS:
- 48V: Activates the required phantom power of 48 volts for the use of condenser microphones
- VU-10: With this switch the level displayed in the VU meter can be adjusted by -10 dB. This is very handy to display high levels
- Ø: Activating the polarity reversal switch turns the polarity of a microphone signal by 180°
- HP: High-pass filter with 6 dB per octave reduces subsonic noise below 120 Hz
- Mic Gain: The gain is adjusted by a 12-step switch, the pre-amplification ranges from +18 dB to +70 dB
- Output: The switchable output control allows level adjustment to subsequent devices - the control range is ±10 dB. This results in a total gain of 80 dB
- PAD: By activating the PAD, the input sensitivity can be reduced by 20 dB allowing the preamplifier to be ideally adapted to high level input signals (Tip: With PAD activated, Crescendo duo is also ideal for line-level input signals)
