The dual mix is a high-quality „two-channel“ preamplifier for instrument/line or microphone signals.
The unit offers simple, efficient features just like a small mixong console:
– two inputs , each for one microphone or instrument and line-level signal with switchable
24V-phantom-power
– separate active two-band EQ networks for each input
– a 4-preset multi-effects-unit with two reverbs, one echo and one chorus
– a stereo aux-in
– line-out and DI-out
– plus a stereo-headphone-preamplifier
This makes the dual mix especially suited for the following applications:
- as channel extension in connection with AER-amplifiers (the line output of the dual mix is connected
e.g. with an amp‘s effects return)
- as
instrument/microphone stage preamp (the line out or DI-out of the dual mix is connected directly
to the mixing-desk/stagebox)
- as headphone rehearsal amplifier in connection with a stereo headphone set
All pocket tools need energy for their high-grade circuits and are powered by 24V-power-supplies . An
appropriate supply is included in delivery.
Read on and have fun using your dual mix !
