With the DP3, you’ll get\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ethe mid-range germanium crunch of the mid ‘60s; the low-mid punch and thick sound associated with British class-A preamps from the early ‘70s; and the more modern tones of the ‘80s and ‘90s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGet vintage color, modern transparency, or even something in between — all in one rack space. The DP3 from TK Audio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTons of Tones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile the DP3 includes TK’s proven input stage and germanium circuit from the DP2, we’ve also incorporated a new saturation circuit that — together with the vintage class-A stage — gives you a broad palette of character choices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe input stage is designed around a high quality Swedish Lundahl transformer and high gain stage, followed by selectable saturation and germanium circuits for even more color and harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInstead of switching output stages, as was done in previous models, the class-A stage is now inserted in front of the Output level control, letting you drive the transformer harder without overloading your A\/D converters while making the output less sensitive to different impedances. The class-A stage uses a heavy, custom-made Carnhill transformer that produces a fat, punchy sound with mid-range character and a warm top end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIdeal for colorful DI recording\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Hi-Z direct mode function bypasses the input transformer and input stage, and sends the instrument signal directly to the high-pass filter and the selectable saturation and germanium circuits. The dedicated Hi-Z instrument input has a separate activation switch, so you can leave your instrument connected all the time!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDirect mode gain is +14 dB, which is perfect for bass recording together with the class-A stage. The sweepable high-pass filter goes from 30 Hz to 400 Hz for precision crafting of the low end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Musictoner","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67607292838051,"sku":"DP3TK","price":1139.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8299\/0499\/files\/DP3P-3k_36def4c5-b466-446d-a5a6-421c7204ac6e.jpg?v=1791185980","url":"https:\/\/musictoner.shop\/products\/musictoner-altomusic-tk-audio-dp3-stereo-microphone-preamp","provider":"MusicToner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
