sE Electronics DM2 TNT (Black) Microphone Preamp

sE Electronics DM2 TNT (Black) Microphone Preamp

Choose +15 dB or +30 dB of microphone gain. The DM2 TNT plugs directly into the XLR output of a passive dynamic or ribbon microphone.

Selected FETs and Class A circuitry are designed for low-noise, neutral amplification. A dedicated output stage maintains consistent gain as the connected load changes.

Eight input impedance settings span 50 Ω to 10 MΩ, letting you explore how loading changes a passive microphone’s sound. Vintage ribbon microphones can respond more noticeably to these adjustments.

The black metal housing and gold-plated XLR connectors are built for studio and stage use. No extra cable is needed between the booster and the microphone.

The receiving microphone input must provide 48 V phantom power. This power does not pass to the connected microphone. The DM2 is unsuitable for condenser or active ribbon microphones that need phantom power themselves.

Main Features

• The +15 dB and +30 dB settings provide a choice of gain before your audio interface or mixer’s microphone input.
• The manufacturer suggests starting at 1.5–2.7 kΩ, then adjusting the load to suit the particular microphone and desired sound.
• Recessed gain and input-load controls are adjusted with a miniature screwdriver.
• The dedicated output stage can drive longer cables while reducing susceptibility to radio-frequency interference and hum.
