How to Set Up Your PPA50:
Description:
Top quality low noise preamp
The main job of a pre-amp is to control the signal going to your amp or powered
speakers. They are the first part of your signal and a good pre-amp is essential
to having great sound quality. Having a separate pre-amp that specializes in
that one job will give you better sound quality than an all in one receiver or
integrated amplifier.
Inputs and Outputs
What makes our model different from some of the standard ones on the market is
that we carefully chose the inputs and outputs. We have (3) RCA aux inputs that
will support any audio device. We also have a Phono RCA to support turntables.
There are (2) ¼” inputs that can be run in stereo for any pro audio devices.
There is also a front combo jack with selectable mic/line. The mic preamp is
extremely low noise.
Recording interface
Yea, we did it. We added a USB computer interface! Yes, this will work with any
of your favorite DAW’s such as pro tools or Ableton live. You can record the
final mix into one stereo channel in pro tools or any other DAW. Anything being
played through the pre-amp will be recorded including the microphone inputs, as
well as any source you are playing. It will be summed to one stereo channel in
your DAW. You can also use Ableton live or any other software to play music as
an input device on the preamp. The interface is 2-way and you can use it as an
input playback device or as an output recording device.
Bluetooth and USB playback
We wanted to make this product extremely versatile, so we added Bluetooth audio
playback. This is perfect for home audio use as well as for some pro audio
applications in between sets etc. There is also USB playback so you can play
back audio saved on a thumb drive.
Amazing controls
There is a high quality 3 band EQ so you can adjust and fine tune your sound.
There are bass, mid, and treble controls. Also,we added a low-cut crossover
which is great if you will be using a subwoofer so that you can cut some lows out
of your main speakers. The mic/line input on the front has its own volume
control and can be used at the same time as any of the other sources like
Bluetooth or RCA.
