Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the M-Audio DMP3 Microphone/Instrument Pre-
Amplifier. The DMP3 gives you two completely independent channels of
high gain, ultra low noise pre-amps in a sturdy desktop unit. 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 DMP3 outputs can be used as balanced or
unbalanced via its 1/4” TRS jacks.
Microphones, guitars with magnetic or piezo pickups, and any instrument
that needs a boost in gain to "line level" will benefit from the superior sonic
quality of the DMP3. Two separate gain ranges are conveniently selectable
from the front panel for each DMP3 channel. Low cut "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 DMP3 in a stereo or dual mic situation. Large, classic VU meters give an
excellent visual representation of the DMP3 output levels.
