DJ PRE II - ARTcessory
ARTcessories are a full line of clever, affordable processing tools for live
sound, stage, and studio. The ARTcessories line is designed to deliver solutions
for a number of audio needs - like having phantom power, having one or two more
mixing channels, testing cables, headphone processing, preamplification for
microphones and turntables, and many more real-world applications. With their
affordable prices and simple design, the new line of ARTcessories will satisfy
the needs of working musicians and sound engineers everywhere.
The ART
DJPRE II solves the three basic problems common to vinyl records:
- It is physically impossible to press them with ridges that end up allowing
low frequencies to come out at the same reproduction level as mid and high
frequencies. Bass compensation is therefore needed during playback.
- Records produce a certain amount of hiss, which is covered up in
post-production by boosting the gain of the high frequencies before pressing.
Counter-EQing during playback compensates for this.
- Magnetic cartridges produce a weak signal, which must be boosted to match
the rest of the amplification, and this too is done during playback.
In the mid-1950s, the Recording Industry Association of America established
compensation standards. The resulting RIAA preamp has been built into every
hi-fi and stereo amplifier with phono or turntable inputs since then. A separate
RIAA preamp is necessary when you are connecting a turntable to a mixer that
does not have one built in.
The DJPRE II features an RIAA-type phono
preamp circuit housed in a rugged metal case with full patching facilities for
connecting it to a phono turntable and
mixer.
