Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the M Audio DMP2 Microphone/Instrument Pre-Amplifier. M Audio’s proven mixer and preamp technology has reached its pinnacle with the DMP2, delivering a clarity and brilliance of audiophile integrity. The DMP2 gives you two completely independent channels of high gain, ultra low noise pre-amps in a sturdy 1/2 rack space unit of exceptional design and quality.

Front & Rear Panels Front Panel ➏ ➊ ➋ ➌ ➍ ➎ ➊ ➋ ➌ ➍ ➎ ➐ ➑ 1. Gain Adjustment Knobs: Separate gain controls for pre-amps 1 and 2 adjust the output volume levels independently. Full counter-clockwise is the minimum gain position, while full clockwise is maximum gain. 2. Signal & Clip LEDs: The "Sig" LED, when lit, indicates the presence of input signal either at the XLR mic input or 1/4” high impedance input jacks.

2. Output Jacks 1 and 2: These 1/4” TRS jacks are the main outputs for the pre-amps. Using a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), or ‘stereo’ 1/4” plug, the DMP2 will provide a balanced line-level output. Using a TS (tip-sleeve) 1/4” plug, the outputs will be unbalanced. 3. Phantom Power Switch: When this button is pressed and locked to the ‘In’ position, phantom power (48v) will be sent to both XLR In 1 and XLR In 2. 4.

typically emit a low signal level, requiring a "pre-amp" such as the DMP2. Other instruments, such as keyboard sound modules, may also benefit from a little bit of punch from the DMP2. Plug in your mic or instrument with the gain controls turned down, then turn the gain up incrementally while testing the mic or playing the instrument. When the signal present or "sig" LED lights fairly consistently, you’ve reached a good signal level for the DMP2.

they can generate an output signal. If the condenser mic doesn’t come with its own power supply, then "Phantom Power" must be applied from the preamp. Pressing the "phan" button and engaging phantom power on the DMP2 will send the necessary voltage to both of the XLR Mic Inputs. Phantom power will not affect a dynamic mic adversely, so its okay to have a dynamic mic at the XLR input while phantom power is switched on.
