Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the M Audio DMP2
Microphone/Instrument Pre-Amplifier. M Audio’s proven mixer and pre-
amp 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. Each channel provides low impedance microphone
inputs on XLR connectors with optional phantom power, plus an alternate
high impedance instrument input on 1/4" TS jacks. The DMP2 outputs can
be used as balanced or unbalanced via a TRS jack.
Microphones, guitars with magnetic or piezo pickups, and any instrument
that needs a boost in gain to "line level" will benefit from the punch, yet
ultimate transparency of the DMP2. High pass "rumble" filters for each
channel eliminate unwanted low-end noise, while individual phase
inversion switches ensure that you will always achieve the greatest result
when using the DMP2 in a stereo or dual mic situation.
DMP2 Features
•2 independent XLR, fully balanced mic inputs.
•2 alternate, independent 1/4” unbalanced, high impedance inputs,
impedance matched for ideal performance with electric and acoustic
guitars and other high impedance mics or instruments.
• Exceptional frequency response, extremely flat throughout all
frequencies.
• Separate low-cut filters for each channel with switch and LED indicator.
•Separate gain controls for each of the pre-amplifiers.
• Individual signal and clipping LEDs for each pre-amplifier channel.
• XLR 48v phantom power can be switched on or off for both mic inputs,
with an LED indicator.
• Dual-purpose independent 1/4” outputs accept either tip-ring-sleeve
plugs for balanced outputs or tip-sleeve plugs for unbalanced outs.
• Individual phase inversion switches for each channel.
• Half rack size.
