Sanken HAD-48 Users Manual

HAD-48

Because dynamic microphones have lower
output levels than condenser microphones, long
cable lengths often result in a noticeably noisy
signal. Sanken's innovative HAD-48 microphone
preamplifier solves this problem by increasing the
microphone level considerably with no
degradation of signal. Providing a choice of
switchable 20dB or 40dB of gain, this greatly
improves the signal-to-noise ratio. Even when
using dynamic microphones and long cables
between the mic and the input of the mixing
console, this level boost can help overcome line
loss and diminished frequency response.
Additionally, increased noise due to added gain in

Microphone Pre-Amp

the microphone preamp can be reduced.

The HAD-48 features an XLR-style barrel (XLR­3M - XLR-3F) just 105.3mm long. No batteries
are needed, because the HAD-48 runs off 48V
phantom power from the mixer input and draws a
mere 3mA. The phantom power does not pass
through to the microphone, eliminating voltage
concerns of the microphone.
