AEA RPQ3, Owner'S Manual

Page: 4 / 16

INTRODUCTION
Based on the circuit design of our celebrated RPQ2, the RPQ3
features a powerful combination of ultra-low noise, low-distortion
op-amps, ultra-high 68 kΩ input impedance, and 85 dB of clean
gain, all packaged in a durable full-rack chassis. The RPQ3 also
includes an expanded EQ section with boost and cut controls for
both low and high end as well as a new low-end frequency sweep
to identify and eliminate rumbles and resonances. The RPQ3 was
designed to work great on passive ribbon microphones, however,
when a preamp works well with a passive ribbon microphone, it
will excel on every microphone. At once open, transparent, and
musical, the RPQ3 is a versatile tool for the front end of any signal
path. As with all AEA electronics, the circuit in the RPQ3 was
designed by Fred Forssell.
