SC-1mk2 Microphone Preamp Kit
SC-1mk2 Mic Preamp
Solid State, DC-Servo, Balanced Mic Preamplifier
with Input Transformer Option
Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of the SC-1mk2 Mic Preamp Kit.
This is the 2
nd
generation design of our popular SC-1 Mic Preamp Kit.
Hundreds of hours have been spent in the design, manufacturing and packaging of this kit to deliver to you a great preamp, with
the same features and performance found on some high-end boutique preamps. All at a very affordable price!
There are no special, expensive tools or techniques required to assemble this kit. All you need is the ability to follow
instructions, use common sense, and the confidence in knowing that YOU can do this.
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR PREAMP KIT.
I know people sometimes don’t want to read manuals. But unlike software, there is NO UNDO for this project.
READ THIS
ASSEMBLY GUIDE COMPLETELY FIRST.
Take your time, and ask questions if you are unsure of something. Work methodically
and carefully. I promise you, you’ll be rewarded with a great preamp when you’re finished. And you’ll have pride and joy when
you tell others that “Yes, I built this!”
