The RPQ2 Ribbon Preamp and EQ from AEA provides 2 channels of high-quality, high-gain, low-noise preamplification with a rich, musical sound that complements your microphone's natural tonality. Specifically designed for ribbon microphones, this device is great at drawing out the warmth and lush sound that ribbon mics are uniquely known for. With 81dB of gain, JFET circuitry, and an input impedance of 63 kOhms, the RPQ2 delivers the quietness, precision, and headroom needed for today's high-resolution recordings.
The second iteration of AEA’s original high-performance RPQ preamp, the RPQ2 adds some new and useful features. It's now possible to plug your instrument directly into its high-impedance circuit via its front-panel direct inputs. It also includes a Mic/Line switch for balanced line inputs and outputs, as well as inserts for patching compressors or other effects between the preamp and CurveShaper™ EQ section. Speaking of the CurveShaper EQ, it offers the tools to control your ribbons right at the beginning of the signal path. Switchable, tunable low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) controls allow you to tame proximity problems as well as provide HF extension and slope control.
Engineers have found that it's a terrific fit with condensers and moving coil microphones. Because of its sonic qualities and versatility, the AEA RPQ2 is the tool of choice for all kinds of mics, whenever a true and pristine signal path is desired. Detailed and accurate, the AEA RPQ2 is a high-quality, high-gain choice for all microphones.
