Phoenix Audio DRS-Q4 Stereo Discrete Mic Pre / DI / EQ

DRS-Q4 Stereo Discrete Mic Pre / DI / EQ description:

The Phoenix Audio DRSQ-4 is a 4 Band Gyratory-based Eq with 11 selectable frequencies, and Mic, Line, and DI inputs.

The Phoenix Audio DRSQ-4 is a Mic-pre/DI/Eq that has the advantages of more than 25 years experience in audio engineering, today’s component and manufacturing technology, but still retaining “that sound” uniquely achievable through Class A design.

The DRS-Q4 uses a Class A output stage (DSOP-2), also featuring transformerless Class A, Discrete, truly-balanced Mic Input Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound. It also incorporates a high input impedance DI circuitry.

Phoenix Audio DRSQ-4 main features include:

• 1U rack space unit: With 240V/110V mains voltage input selector switch
• Class A (DSOP-2) Output specs: Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz +- 0.5dB
• Maximum Output Level: +26dBu @ 1kHz
• Noise: -90dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz.
• Output connections: XLR and TSR 1/4" Jack on rear
• Phoenix Audio’s unique Class A, transformerless, True balanced Mic input stage.
• Microphone/Line input: XLR on Rear Panel
• DI inputs: 1/4 TSR Jack on Front Panel
• Individual Earth Lift: Push-button Switches
• Gain Range (Mic input): -30 to -70 in 5dB steps With 10dB more available on the fader.
• High Input Impedance DI: Mono 1/4" Jack on front panel (no FETs)
• Gain Meter: LED Metering. (Green = 0dB, Yellow = +8dB, corresponding to “4” and “6” on a PPM Meter).
