The Opre2 Two Channel Preamplifier

Designed for the serious user in mind, the Opre8 preamplifier combines solid and reliable electronics, with specifications surpassing audiophile standards. The rugged construction of the Opre2 lends itself to use in a variety of live applications, and its superior components make the Opre2 a premium element in high-end studio situations.

Among other uses, the Opre2 is ideal for strict recording situations where the acoustical integrity of the subject is paramount. Optimally, this unit can be used as a complimentary unit to the Curtis Technology AL-2 Stereo Microphone System.

The Opre2 is packaged in a black 19" rack-mount case. On its face, each channel features a calibrated multicolor 10 segment LED VU meter as well as backlit buttons for 20dB pad, phantom and phase.

Internally, the Opre2 power supply is based on a torroidal supply resulting in ultra low noise. In addition, the internal topology includes a distributed dual voltage regulation to minimize crosstalk between channels. Each channel features a separate digital control circuit which controls top grade relays within the main analog path. The design is based on a straight-line-with-gain approach employing premium operational amps and encapsulated switching elements.

Each channel has transformer balanced input and electronically balanced outputs for driving long cable distances with minimal signal degradation. All inputs and outputs feature gold plated XLR sockets.
