Based on Award-Winning DMP2 Technology!

Based on the same DMP2 technology that won Pro Audio Review's highest rating, the DMP3 isn't just any two-channel microphone/instrument preamp. Whether you use it live or in the studio, the DMP3 is one of those pieces of gear destined to be integral in defining your sound.

An astounding frequency response of 20Hz to 100kHz makes the DMP3 ideal for today's 96k recording work-and the perfect companion for the M-Audio Delta line of PCI audio interface cards. High and low gain controls accommodate a wide range of microphone and instrument levels, offering up to a substantial 66dB of gain. And the classic VU meters are just one indication of the distinctive qualities you'll find in the DMP3's sound.


Features
  • 2-channel preamp with XLR microphone inputs and 1/4" instrument inputs accommodates any type of audio signal
  • Balanced outputs on TRS jacks deliver hum-free professional audio
  • Low harmonic distortion (THD + N: .002% @ 1kHz) for ultra-clean sound
  • Exceptional dynamic range to capture all the nuances of your music
  • 20Hz to 100kHz frequency response (+0/-1dB) ideal for 96k digital recording
  • High and low gain range controls offer up to 66dB of gain
  • Clip LED for visual feedback of detrimental levels
  • Low-cut filters remove unwanted rumble and hum
  • Phantom power to accommodate all types of microphones
  • Phase reverse switch on each channel insures optimal recordings

Super Clean Preamp

by Dave Percell from Corona, CA USA

 Music Background: Musician, Recording Engineer
When building my studio, I needed a preamp to warm my signal going into the MBox2 Pro. I did not want any coloration or alteration of my orig. tone. When you buy a mic or classical guitar, you buy bec... read more [+]ause of its personal sound. Going through a preamp that alters that sound is not an option. This preamp is super clean, super quiet with just the right amount of warmth. I have played through high end preamps. I love the DMP-3 close [-]

Absolutely Outstanding Preamp for the price

 Music Background: Semi-Pro Musician; Student (and sometimes semi-pro) Recording Engineer
I purchased the DMP3 after hearing it in a shootout with other mic preamps at the audio school I attend. On Classical Piano, the DMP3 gave one of my favorite sounds that we got that day, beating out p... read more [+]res costing several times as much. Since I got mine, I have used it on vocals, drum overheads, and acoustic and electric guitar and have always been happy with the sound. It is clean and detailed and has plenty of gain for everything I have needed it for. If you are into modding, replacing the power supply causes an even better sound, especially with phantom-powered mics, but I still have mine in its stock form and am very happy with it. A very awesome product! close [-]

Hands down best value

by josh from akron, OH

This is simply the best preamp you will find in its per-channel price range. It delivers surprisingly transparent, uncolored tone. I use it for my drum overheads, which require an even response across... read more [+] the entire frequency range, and it sounds clear as a bell. I've had mine for a year, logged around 40 hours through it, and have had zero problems. Great buy! close [-]
