From Our Research Team:

An Elegant and Versatile Mic and Instrument Preamp

At Sweetwater, we like gear with versatile functionality - that's why we like the A Designs JM-3001 mono preamp and EQ. The JM-3001 combines a beautifully transparent mic preamp, an incredibly low-noise instrument input, and a sweet and smooth 3-band EQ for a one-stop shop for great audio. Best of all, the discrete signal paths of the JM-3001 make this a studio workhorse. Whether you're plugging in a mic or an instrument, your signal is routed to both the EQ section and the main output simultaneously, allowing you to creatively route your signal to the rest of your gear. And since you can use the EQ on its own, you can make great recordings by tracking through the A Designs JM-3001, and then use it to EQ great mixes!

A Designs JM-3001 Mono Preamp and EQ at a Glance:
  • Impeccable mic pre
  • Excellent instrument front end
  • Sweet and smooth EQ

Impeccable mic pre
The A Designs JM-3001 will do your mic and your music justice. The JM-3001 uses a C12X discrete transistor op amp for ultra-solid signal quality no matter what mic you use. You get plenty of gain and a -20dB pad for louder sources, as well as phase reverse and phantom power.

Excellent instrument front end
With amazing sound quality and discrete outputs, the A Designs JM-3001 could be the perfect instrument preamp for your studio. The High-Z instrument input on the front panel sends signal to the EQ output and the main output simultaneously for extra flexibility in your studio. For example, you could plug your bass in and record the main outputs of the JM-3001, while simultaneously EQ'ing the signal and sending it to a compressor and recording that separately for more options when you're ready to mix.

Sweet and smooth EQ
You get a specially-designed EQ in the A Designs JM-3001, with three parametric bands and the option to choose peaking or shelving EQ on the high and low bands. Best of all, the EQ section features an insert send and return for processing external line-level signals. And because the JM-3001 sends input signals to both the EQ output and the main output simultaneously, it's easy to record both the processed and unprocessed signals for extra flexibility when mixing.

A Designs JM-3001 Mono Preamp and EQ Features:
  • Flexible mic and instrument preamp with flexible 3-band EQ and versatile routing opportunities
  • Preamp uses C12X discrete transistor op-amp for high gain, low noise, and amazingly transparent audio
  • Instrument input with discrete signal path for detailed direct recordings
  • Inputs are routed to EQ output and main output simultaneously for flexible tracking signal paths
  • EQ section has a TRS send/return insert point to EQ line-level signals - great for mixing!

If you need a versatile mic and instrument pre with amazing EQ, get the A Designs JM-3001 mono preamp and EQ!
