SE ELECTRONICS / DM2 TNT

This is a high-end model of the company's DM1 that adds gain and impedance switching functionality, allowing you to obtain optimal gain for microphones with a wide range of impedances.

DM2 boosts the signal from passive microphones without adding noise or coloration, while minimizing the possibility of unwanted external interference. Its slim yet heavy-duty metal chassis, robust construction, and high manufacturing standards ensure reliability even on demanding stages. Using sophisticated Class A circuitry and carefully selected high-quality FETs, DM2's output impedance is extremely low, achieving nearly half the noise of similar products on the market. Two-stage gain adjustment ensures a signal level that matches the input microphone preamp. Eight impedance settings and a buffer amplifier ensure stable gain regardless of the connected load. This variable impedance function can be used for matching purposes, as well as for sound quality correction in a different way to EQ. *For best results, we recommend connecting DM2 directly to the output connector of a passive microphone. If necessary, you can use a cable between the microphone and DM2, but the shorter the length, the better the overall performance. ■Main Features and Specifications ○Clean and stable gain settings from moderate +15 dB to explosive +30 dB. Carefully designed for neutral and balanced sound quality. Eight impedance settings from 50 Ω to 10 MΩ are available to match any microphone. Two gain level settings provide flexibility for a variety of sources. Moreover, the signal can be thoroughly boosted regardless of the load impedance or cable length. ○Sophisticated Class A Electronics The onboard Class A electronics and high-grade FETs achieve ultra-low noise. In addition, the transformerless design is faithful to the original sound quality of the source and has the lowest noise among products in its class. ○Dedicated Output Buffer Amplifier Provides +15 dB / +30 dB output regardless of load impedance or cable length. Extremely low output impedance reduces the effects of RF interference, buzz, hum, etc. even with long cable runs. ○Slim and solid metal housing and premium finish Efficiently rejects all external electrical interference and noise. High-quality finishes and gold-plated XLR connectors ensure extremely reliable signal connections, and the slim design makes it easy to set up in the studio or on stage. ○Frequency response: 10Hz - 120kHz (-0.3dB) ○Gain: 15 / 30 dB ○Maximum output level (0.5% THD): 9.5 dBV (3.0 V) ○Output noise level: 1 μV @15 dB gain / 6.6 μV @30 dB gain ○Operating power: Phantom power 48 V (IEC 61938 compliant) ○Impedance: 135 Ω ○Recommended load impedance: 1 kΩ or more ○Current consumption: 3.1 mA ○Connector: XLR 3-pin ○External dimensions: 19 mm (diameter) x 95.5 mm (length) ○Weight: 80 g *Product introduction video (English) is available: https://youtu.be/M7vahdeD4nM ■Notes on DM2 TNT DM2 is a product designed exclusively for passive microphones (dynamic microphones / ribbon microphones). Since it does not supply phantom power to microphones, it cannot be used with microphones that require phantom power (condenser microphones/active ribbon microphones). In addition, in order to operate the DM2, a separate preamp/mixer/audio interface that can supply 48V phantom power is required.
