FRONT PANEL GUIDE

GENERAL GUIDELINES

To maintain the best performance from your new AEA TRP2, take 

note of these two requirements:

1) Never place preamp on or close proximity to electro-magnetic 

fields or hot surfaces. Electromagnetic fields created by power 

transformers, motors, or RF transmitters can potentially damage 

or interfere with the preamp functionality. Make sure to keep your 

preamp away from these sources in addition to hot surfaces.

2) Before turning on the power, all connections to the preamp 

should be made and the gain controls set at their minimum 

settings. Be sure to examine your signal chain before powering up 

the preamp to ensure sudden loud noises are not emitted which 

could damage your system or hearing.

1- Input Gain rotary switch 

12 position Grayhill switch ranging from +7 to +63 dB.

2 - Phantom Power (P48) switch 

OUT is off; IN applies full-spec P48 phantom power to the input. 

The red LED below the switch will indicate when P48 phantom 

power is engaged.
