Daking Mic Pre II
Description
The Daking Mic Pre II at a glance
The Mic Pre II is a two-channel dual mono microphone preamp.
The Mic Pre II combines two of Daking’s stand-alone Mic Pre One units in a single rack space. Like the Mic Pre One, the Mic Pre EQ, and the Mic Pre IV, the Daking Mic Pre II circuitry is based on a classic console design of the ’80s with some upgrades: Variable High Pass Filters on each channel, Jensen input transformers, class “A” amplification, extremely high headroom (+24) and a single-sided 48V power supply.
The Mic Pre II’s high pass filter is continuously variable from 10-200Hz and drops at 12dB per octave. It does a perfect job of cleaning up those muddy lows while delivering a full, rich sound. In addition, the Daking Mic Pre II has:
- 70dB of gain
- switchable polarity
- 20 segment combo VU and “peak hold” LED meter
- 20dB pad with constant reflected impedance
- switchable phantom power
- direct 1/4″ instrument inputs on the front panel
- balanced XLR and 1/4″ outputs.
