Manufactured by: K&K Sound

About the TRINITY SYSTEM PREAMP:

This compact powerhouse includes a removable belt clip for convenient mounting on your belt or the edge of a music stand. Some players strap it to the back of their bass tailpiece.

Specifications:

• Tiny!! just 4 3/8 x 3 3/8 x 1.5 inches
• internal nine (9) volt battery powers both the preamplifier and provides phantom power to the Golden Bullet Microphone. Its life depends on use and the gain required, but battery life is excellent
• two external volume controls to balance the mic and pickup signals on the fly
• internal trim pots (small circuit board-mounted controls) that can be adusted using the tiny precision screw driver included and stored inside of the preamp.
  • bass and treble controls (incredible +/- 20 dB!) for the mic channel
  • bass, midrange, and treble controls (incredible +/- 20 dB!) for the pickup channel
  • two overall gain controls that let you balance the two channel's outputs as well as adjust the pre-amplification factor from 1 to 10!!
• Input: 1/4" stereo jack designed to handle the separate signals from the mic and pickup
• Output: the 1/4" mono jack on the left provides the mixed signal of the mic and pickup. If the Optional Mic center jack is used as well, the mic signal is removed from the mix and routed separately to the center jack only. This enables the player to send the mic signal to the PA, or apply effects to one channel and not the other... or perform any other type of audio magic the creative mind can conceive.
• extremely low noise operation.
• 10K ohm output impedances
• once you have found the proper EQ for each channel it is best to refrain from further adjustments -- use the EQ at your amplifier or board to accommodate room acoustics variations.
