The AEA TRP3 Ribbon Preamp provides two channels of high-output, high-impedance, and low-noise gain with a rich and natural sound that brings out the full potential of your microphones.
Specifically designed for ribbon microphones, the TRP3 excels at drawing out the warmth and lush sound that ribbons are uniquely known for. AEA’s 3rd generation circuitry is their cleanest and most musical design yet.
SMALL, BUT MIGHTY
The TRP3 is a half-rack powerhouse that provides unparalleled high gain with low-noise. With 85db of output, the TRP3 gives you enough juice to record soft sources without ever having to worry about noise.
Passive ribbons and other low-level sources require preamps that supply a high level of output. Without enough clean gain, low-level mic signals can sound too soft or too noisy. This noise can be especially evident when recording quieter instruments (acoustic guitars, strings), recording at a distance or when using long cable runs.
With the AEA TRP3 ribbon microphone preamp, you will never consider a source too quiet to record with a ribbon mic ever again.
The TRP3 offers all the classic features of the TRP and TRP2 with the added benefit of an up-to-date circuit design, upgraded components, more straightforward control markings and a dual-option high-pass filter for repeatable proximity effect taming..
The TRP3 faithfully reproduces even the smallest details of microphones, voices, and other sound sources. Great for stereo pair recording, easily recallable settings, and capturing true-to-source sound, the TRP3 is a simple yet versatile tool.
