Microphone Preamp

Designed for direct connection to the output of a ribbon or dynamic microphone, the DM2 T.N.T optimizes the traditional inline preamp by eliminating the need for an extra cable, while its compact size makes it easy to transport.

Its uncompromising design boosts the signal regardless of load impedance or cable length.

Capable of pairing perfectly with any passive microphone to enhance its signal, the DM2 T.N.T reduces the likelihood of interference and provides a significantly improved level to your interface or mixer’s preamp — all without adding noise or coloration.

With a simple turn of the dial, explore eight settings ranging from an unusually low 50 Ω to an impressively high 10 MΩ to precisely match the preamp to any microphone, delivering clean recordings with the lowest possible noise.

Designed to reveal the best characteristics of your microphones, the DM2 T.N.T encourages experimentation to discover each passive mic’s tonal qualities and sweet spot in your collection.

System Requirements 

• Requires Phantom Power (48 V only)
• Works only with passive microphones (which do not require phantom power): passive microphones such as dynamic microphones, passive ribbon microphones, and ceramic/piezoelectric transducers
• Does not work with active microphones (which require phantom power): i.e., most condenser microphones and active ribbon microphones
• For optimal results, it is strongly recommended to connect the DM2 T.N.T directly to the microphone output
• If a cable is needed, it should be placed between the microphone and the DM2 T.N.T. — the shorter the cable, the better the overall performance
