Each channel is driven by its own 12AX7 tube. A "Stereo" switch on the front panel allows both preamps to work in tandem when processing a stereo source. Full-featured mic preamps with warm tube character and complete controls Using a specially tuned version of the Valve Force technology so widely acclaimed in the Electribe X series and the TRITON Extreme, the new TP-2 tube-driven preamp imparts a robust warmth and a rich musical character that is ideal for your critical and challenging acoustic sources. Each preamp channel accepts either XLR or 1/4" TRS inputs, and switchable phantom power is provided. Equipped with a Hi-Z switch, 26dB pad button and a variable trim knob, the TP-2 assures the optimal gain setting for any source, from a premium microphone to a direct bass or guitar signal. A pair of faders controls the output level, and a low-cut switch and a phase reverse button offer even more flexibility. Includes transparent optical compression By using state-of-the-art optical compression, the TP-2 is able to respond quickly, breathing life and luster into your sound. In addition to enhanced response times, optical compression provides a wide range of dynamic control - without coloring the source material in adverse ways. Compression sensitivity knobs on the front panel are teamed with Fast/Slow release time buttons and audiophile analog VU meters for intuitive realtime control. Advantages of analog preamp with 24-bit/96kHz A/D conversion built in While the TP-2 works hard in the analog domain to achieve warm, smooth and musical results, its digital characteristics are no less stellar. Analog-to-digital conversion is 24-bit, using 64-times oversampling for error-free reproduction. Sampling rates of 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz are offered, and the digital output is provided in both S/P DIF optical and coaxial formats. Analog outputs are also provided. Ideal for live use, recording and mastering, and sampling While the TP-2 is obviously well suited to enrich your hardware or software based digital recordings, it is perfect for a variety of applications. Live, the TP-2 can be used to add warmth to any vocal mic or acoustic instrument. As a mastering tool, the TP-2 provides superior dynamic control. You can even use it as a preamp when preparing audio samples for your keyboard or computer. The TP-2 could be one of your most-used audio tools! Korg TP-2 Dual Preamp Features:
