At Prolight+Sound 2017, DiGiCo will show and, more importantly, allow attendees the opportunity to hear, a newly designed 32-bit ‘John Stadius’ Mic Pre-Amp for the first time.
John and his team have been designing Pre-Amps for over 40 years. Now, this new improvement in converter technology has allowed them to develop a Pre-Amp with audio qualities that they have long aspired to achieve.
The specifications of the 32-bit SD Mic Pre-Amp Card include:
- Fully differential audio path from input to converter
- Twin 32-bit ADC conversion per channel
- Lightening quick conversion time; 73uS
- Dynamic punch and increased audio depth; Dynamic range of 123dBA
- Incredibly low noise; 128dB EIN
- Transparency and clarity of audio; 20-22kHz <0.002% THD+N
- Class leading frequency response; 20-44.5kHz ±0.1dB
- Open and clear audio reproduction; 12dB harmonic weighting improvement
- 8 channels of temporal perfection; 0deg phase shift 20-22kHz
- Dedicated analogue, ultra-low noise linear power supplies; including +48V phantom power
- Only one, phantom power blocking, capacitor in the audio path; Gold Nichicon “MUSE” acoustic series
- Fully shielded analogue stage
- Precision clipping with no artefacts
- Reduced operating temperature (Sounds cooler)
- Roadworthy metal XLR connectors
