- Expert Description
- En: 28 dB from a Class-A JFET stage with a buffered output: input impedance 10 kΩ, output impedance 135 Ω, current draw 3.0 mA. The low output impedance is why the gain stays 28 dB whatever preamp follows. · Uk: 28 дБ від каскаду класу A на польових транзисторах із буферизованим виходом: вхідний опір 10 кΩ, вихідний 135 Ω, споживання 3,0 мА. Саме низький вихідний опір і тримає підсилення на 28 дБ незалежно від того, який преамп стоїть далі.·

Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Gain Staging Advice
Output noise 9 µV (A-weighted) and max output 8.3 dBV at 0.5 % THD: with a hot source the 28 dB can push a sensitive interface input toward its own ceiling, so trim the interface, not the box.
Production Warning
The DM1 draws 48 V phantom to run and does not pass it to the microphone. sE state it directly: "not suitable for phantom-powered microphones (condenser microphones, active ribbon microphones)". Passive mics only.
