The Fredenstein HD MicPre Microphone Preamplifier is a 500 Series module with 96khz/192khz sampling rates, modern A/D converters and a fully discrete signal path. The Fredenstein HD microphone preamplifier utilises a completely unique approach to microphone level amplification. With 96 kHz/192 kHz sampling rates becoming popular whilst tracking, studios are still using equipment that cannot provide the frequency response or bandwidth provided by modern A/D converters.
The HD Pre overcomes these limitations, especially for wider bandwidth sources such as acoustic instruments. Besides incorporating a fully discrete signal path and a Class-A balanced output stage, the HD Pre uses a revolutionary current amplification circuit, which neutralises limiting internal transistor capacitance. As a result, the HD Pre features an unprecedented bandwidth of over 900 kHz.
