TRP3

TRP3 Preamp Overview

The AEA TRP3 mic preamp utilizes our newest 3rd generation circuit design. This versatile, half-rack 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.

• Two-channel, high-gain, half-rack mic pre
• Ultra-high 68KΩ input impedance (phantom power off)
• 7 to 85 dB of gain
• 48V phantom and polarity switch
• HPF switchable -3dB at 115 Hz or 230 Hz
• External PSU
• Optional rack ears (for one unit) or rack shelf (two units) for mounting purposes

Enhance Your Ribbons

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. Our 3rd generation circuitry is the cleanest and most musical design we’ve done 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 TRP3, you will never consider a source too quiet to record with a ribbon mic ever again.
