The Bento 2 Bundle (Bento 2 & 2x Artistic MicPre) is a first-class pre-amplification in the rack that consists of two excellent Artistic MicPre preamp modules as well as the Bento 2 rack for Fredenstein's 600 series modules and API-500 compatible plug-in cards.
The rack features a universal power supply with a range of 90–240V AC (50–60Hz), additional TRS inputs and outputs (parallel to XLR connections), internal audio routing for daisy chaining of slot 1 and 2 as well as the compressor buss linking function. The High Performance Artistic PreAmps can easily be pushed into the compartments and operated very intuitively. Features include a maximum gain of 65dB, a built-in 20 dB pad circuit for loud signals, a phase switch, selective input impedance as well as 48V phantom power. The generous eight-LED peak meter with a 50dB range allows precise operation, whilst a 100 kΩ direct input on the front receives balanced and unbalanced signals from guitars and basses. The combination of preamps and rack makes the Bento 2 bundle a quality studio companion for any type of production.
