Expert Description
En: Two independent booster channels in one housing: +25 dB per channel into 10 kΩ, input impedance 7 kΩ, maximum input -15 dBu, maximum output +10 dBu. Both channels draw 48 V phantom from the console or interface, so a two-channel boost costs two phantom supplies. · Uk: Два незалежні канали бустера в одному корпусі: +25 дБ на канал при навантаженні 10 кΩ, вхідний опір 7 кΩ, максимальний вхід -15 dBu, максимальний вихід +10 dBu. Обидва канали живляться 48 В фантомного від пульта чи карти, тож підняття двох каналів коштує двох фантомних джерел.·

Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Gain Staging Advice

Two channels of a fixed +25 dB with no trim: matching a stereo pair has to be done on the preamp behind it, not here.

Production Warning

Same family, same restriction: the maker's Quick Start Guide says phantom power cannot be passed to condenser mics, so both channels are for passive dynamics and passive ribbons only.
