Fredenstein HD Pre - High-Bandwidth Microphone Preamp Module for 500 Series

The Fredenstein HD microphone preamplifier utilizes a completely new approach to microphone level amplification. With 96 kHz/192 kHz sampling rates becoming very popular while tracking, studios are still using equipment which cannot provide the frequency response or bandwidth provided by modern A/D converters. The HD Pre overcomes these limitations especially for wider bandwidth sources such as acoustic instruments.

It is the preferred choice for classical recordings and Jazz recordings as well. Besides incorporating a fully discrete signal path and a Class-A balanced output stage, the HD Pre uses a revolutionary current amplification circuit, which neutralizes limiting internal transistor capacitance. As a result, the HD Pre features an unprecedented bandwidth of over 900 kHz.

Features:

• Overcomes the limitations of conventional preamps with an entirely new approach to mic-level amplification
• Frequency response: 12Hz–700,000Hz (+/-1dB)
• Ideal for wider bandwidth sources such as acoustic instruments
• Fully discrete signal path
• Balanced Class A output stage
• Innovative current amplification circuit that neutralizes limiting internal transistor capacitance
