Inspired by the popular channel and 207D preamps. The DUAL RPA 500 features the Aphex patented Mic-Limiter technology from the 207D and 1788A that works before the preamp. With the limiter on, it is nearly impossible to clip the input of the preamp. Front panel 10megaohms, 1/4-inch inputs for the connection of instruments like guitar and bass. These inputs override the inputs on the rear of the receiving frame when connected.
3-way switches allow the selection of +16, +20 or +24dBu output levels
20-segment input meters allow input levels to be easily seen, even from a distance
65dB of gain to properly operate dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones and a 26dB pad for very loud sources
Illuminated buttons control phantom power, phase reverse, 75Hz high pass filter and mic limiter on/off
