It can be used with all microphones including ribbons and dynamic mics to drive the output stage for a vast range of pure Class-A tones�from bold clarity to vintage warmth�in broadcast TV or recording studio applications. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing a -15 dB input pad, LED gain metering, and push buttons for Hi-Pass Filter, Phase Reverse, and switchable 48V phantom power, the Ascent One microphone preamplifier offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Other features include XLR and TRS 1\/4\" DI input connectors, and XLR and TRS 1\/4\" output jacks on the rear panel. Additionally, the Vari-Filter control allows you to control and shape tones of all types.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Versatile, Modern Class-A Mic Preamp\/DI \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The Phoenix Ascent Mic Preamp\/DIs take a modern approach to Class-A circuit design that delivers a wide range of tones without sacrificing the beloved vibe of true Class-A design. The Ascent circuit can go from ultraclean sounds suitable for audiophile recordings all the way to the warm, saturated tones reminiscent of the UK's most heralded vintage designs. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Hi-Fi Transformerless Mic Input Stage \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The mic preamp's electronically balanced transformerless mic input circuit delivers fast transients and the full frequency spectrum (from sub-bass to the highest air band), while still delivering the full, warm, and smooth characteristics that make engineers love Class-A mic preamps. Boldly outperforming transformer-based designs in both the frequency response and the slew rate, the Ascent delivers articulate, punchy, and full-bodied input signals, allowing you to drive the output stage for a vast range of pure Class-A tones, from bold clarity to vintage warmth and everything in-between. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Transformer-Balanced Output Stage \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The DB694 output transformer is coupled to Phoenix's proprietary, fully discrete DSOP-2 output amplifier. The DSOP-2 is a direct descendent of the venerable TF1 amp, which Phoenix's head-designer, David Rees, developed as an upgrade for vintage Neve modules. Going beyond the TF1, the DSOP2 is the pinnacle of Class-A output circuit design, offering up a smooth transition from ultraclean to beautifully saturated tones. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Ultra-High Impedance DI Circuit \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e The Ascent mic pre series includes very high input impedance (10 MOhm) DI circuits, remarkably featuring no FETs, on every channel. This design means that guitar and bass pickups are not loaded, allowing the natural sound of both modern and vintage instruments to shine and enhance the sound, and sparkle and growl as if they were plugged into your favorite amp. Synths, drum machines, and even laptops can likewise be sweetened by the Ascent's DI. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Easy and Intuitive in The Studio \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Working with a clean, robust, electronically-balanced input signal, the Ascent Mic Preamp\/DI makes dialing in your exact sound easy, intuitive, and quick. By working the familiar stepped input gain control (up to 70 dB alone) and the -30 dB pad against the variable output fader (which provides an additional 10dB of gain), you can dial in your preferred tones without having to consider an overly complex gain architecture. It's all about driving the versatile DSOP-2 output stage to your exacting tastes, whatever they may be in any given moment. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003e Vari-Filter Control \u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e Powerful variable high-pass filter from 70 Hz to 400 Hz giving you the ability to control and shape tones of all types. \u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cspan\u003eUPC: 757440437476\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e In the Box \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e Phoenix Audio Ascent One Class-A Mono Microphone Pre-Amplifier\/DI \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cli\u003eAC Power Cord\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLimited 2-Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePhoenix Audio Ascent One Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e20 Hz to 20 kHz ±0.5 dB\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Output\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e+26 dBu @ 1 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNoise\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e-90 dB @ 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOutput Connectors\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eXLR and 1\/4\" \/ 6.3 mm TRS Jack on Rear\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMic Input\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eClass-A Transformerless Balanced Mic Input Stage: XLRs on Front and Rear Panels\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMicrophone Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e10 kOhms\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTransformer Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBalanced Class-A DSOP\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eGround Lift\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003ePush-Button Switches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eGain Range\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMic Input: -30 to -70 in 5 dB Steps with 10 dB more Available on the Fader\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eGain Reduction\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e15 dB Push-Button Pad Switch (Mic input only)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDI: Mono 1\/4\" \/ 6.3 mm Jack on Front Panel\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eGain Meter\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eLED Metering.
