ARX is proud to release the new PC-pre2 Microphone Preamplifier

ARX's popular e-Pre has just received a complete redesign and feature update, adding an extra channel for true stereo operation. The all-new PC-pre2 features studio quality microphone pre-amps using the same internal components as high end mixing consoles, built into a compact, computer friendly package. PC-pre2 also features Left and Right output jack connectors. Summed Mono outputs on single RCA and Jack connectors are also provided.

Internally, the PC-pre2 is fitted with the latest ultra low noise and distortion Mic Preamp ICs from THAT Corp. It also has a High Current +48V DC Phantom Power, for driving condenser microphones, while a full Bi Polar Power Supply provides maximum headroom.

Audio Inputs are Combo connectors, providing both XLR Mic and 6.5mm jack Line inputs on the one connector.
Input Gain is individually variable from 10dB through to 60dB to suit all types of microphones, plus switchable 48 V Phantom Power to enable condenser microphones to deliver their best.

Compact and powerful, the PC-pre2 provides precision audio engineering for today's desktop audio production environment. It is the ideal microphone pre-amp for hard disk recording, designed by a dedicated team of audio professionals, not computer engineers.
