sE electronics DM2 Schwarz

• Switchable gain in two stages: +15dB or +30dB gain
• Perfect for quiet, passive microphones
• Input impedance can be adjusted in 8 stages for a wide range of Pre amps
• High-quality sound, consistently transparent/true to nature
• State-of-the-art components and high-grade FETs for high SNR
• Also enables longer cable runs
• Reduces susceptibility to HF interference, humming and hum
• Gold-plated XLR contacts
• Robust and "explosive" design
• Requires 48V phantom power for operation
• Does not allow phantom power to pass through to the microphone
• Ideally placed directly on the microphone (but after the cable also works)

Two-stage amplification and switchable impedance

The sE Electronics DM2 T.N.T is an active inline preamplifier. Compared to its little brother, the DM1, it offers switchable amplification from a moderate 15dB to an explosive 30dB and even less noise. Thanks to the variable input load, it gets the best out of the existing microphone.

What can I use it for?

The preamplifier is predestined for microphones that only have a low output level due to their design. This is particularly the case with large-diaphragm dynamic microphones such as the SM7B or RE 20, or ribbon microphones such as the M160 or R-10. As many microphone preamps do not provide sufficient gain for such microphones, the DM2 T.N.T is a good alternative to buying a new preamp with the appropriate gain reserves.

Will my sound be ruined?

The DM2 delivers a very low-noise and true-to-life signal. Of course, every link in the signal chain is always associated with some losses, but here sE Electronics has actually managed to bring a product onto the market that reduces signal losses to a minimum. So you get your additional gain without losing the special features of the microphone in question.
