The AD2022 is Avalon's fourth generation of fully discrete, symmetrical Pure
Class A microphone preamplifiers. The dual mono AD2022 includes the original
sonic capabilities and transparency of the M2, M22 and M5 preamplifiers plus
several additional features, including selectable microphone source loading for
optimized cable/mic matching, improved high-voltage Class A regulated power
supplies, two high Z instrument inputs, variable-passive high pass filter, teflon/
silver wiring and doubled plated circuit boards for superior low level signal transfer.

MICROPHONE INPUT
The AD2022 incorporates the most advanced high-performance microphone
transformer available. Split low-ratio primary windings are carefully combined
within a custom mu-metal core for extended smooth frequency response and
very low distortion.  Sealer silver relays are used for minimal signal invasion. 
The input signal selector, high pass filter, polarity-phase reverse, +48v power
and the 20dB input attenuator all utilize local sealed relay operation. A variable
passive high pass filter provides a minimum phase shift design while eliminating
low frequency rumble, wind noise and mechanical vibration at sub sonic frequencies.

SYMMETRICAL PURE CLASS A DESIGN
Two 100% discrete, high-voltage, symmetrical Pure Class A signal amplifiers
are utilized per channel. The first operates in a cascaded-cascode FET
configuration while the second stage amplifier is fully bipolar. The twin amplifiers
share the total available gain requirement. This shared architecture increases
the high level headroom capability, improves transient response and doubles the
internal bandwidth of the ultra-high performance pure Class A signal amplifiers.
OUTPUT and METERING
High-current DC coupled, Class A discrete amplifiers are utilized for the output
drive interface with +36dB capability into all known loads.  Two large, high-quality
analog VU meters indicate accurate signal readings while bi-color LED's offers
peak indication at 0dB and +20dB.

PreSonusʼ popular Class A XMAX preamps are widely lauded for their clarity and transparency. Our tube preamps are beloved for their warm, smooth sound. With the Blue Tube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamp, you get both types of high-quality sound in one unit.

Now weʼve improved on the classic unit with the BlueTube DP V2. The solid-state path now feeds PreSonusʼ top-of-the-line Class A XMAX™ mic preamplifier with 80 dB of variable gain—an upgrade from the original BlueTube DPʼs solid-state stage.

You still get all the secondary features you expect in a professional-grade preamp: 48V phantom power, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, -20 dB pad to control hot input signals, and a polarity-reverse switch. Each channel has an illuminated VU meter so you can visually monitor your input levels.

A Tube Drive control provides a wide range of sounds: when itʼs clicked off, youʼre using the solid-state preamp for quiet, transparent amplification; when itʼs engaged, your signals flow through the tube preamp, and you can achieve anything from gentle warmth to edgy distortion.

Applications

Console input extending for both Digital and Analog mixing
consoles in Studio, Live and Broadcast
Mic Pre-amps for ADAT/ Hard Disk/ Multitrack Recording
 
Innovation
If you love your compact Digital (or Analog) mixing console, but wish it had
more microphone inputs, ARX has the solution ? the 8 Pre: eight channels
of superb sounding Microphone Pre-amps in a compact 1 RU chassis.
The 8 Pre is the ideal console extender for those times when you need more
microphone inputs. Now you can put those unused line inputs to good use,
and who knows - the 8 Pre pre-amps sound so good that you?ll probably end
up using them all the time instead of the ones that came with your mixer!
Superb Audio Quality
The 8 Pre?s ultra low noise figures come from extensive use of premium
components plus care and attention to board design and layout. The result is
superb, transparent audio quality and the headroom to handle anything that a
mic can throw at it.
Gain is adjustable from 20 db through to 60 dB via a trim control on the front
panel, plus we?ve included a ?20dB Pad switch to tame the hottest condenser
mic output if required. The Clip status LED lights up 1 dB before the onset of
clipping, just to warn you you?re getting close.Phantom power is switchable in
banks of four channels: 1 through 4, 5 through 8. A Phase reverse switch is also
provided on each pre-amp channel to eliminate any close miking problems.
In short, the ARX 8 Pre is the mic Pre-amp that you?ll wish the console manufacturer
had used. It provides a unique solution to today?s multiple Mic Pre-amp requirements.
