RB-DMA2 Dual Digital Microphone Amplifier
Category: Microphone Amplifiers &
Limiters.
Product Function: Amplification of two
mic level signals to line level & AES/EBU
outputs
Typical Applications: To amplifiy
additional microphones in a studio
talks area, court room microphone
amplification, converting mic signal where
mic and amp are a long distance apart.
Features: See RB-ADDA & RB-MA2.
The RB-DMA2 consists of two independent
low-noise microphone pre-amplifiers
for converting microphone level signals
to a digital AES/EBU or S/PDIF output.
Individual analogue balanced line level
outputs are also produced for use, for
example, to feed talkback systems. The
unit can either be used as two independent
microphone amplifiers, or one mic input
can be copied to both channels of the
digital output.

The microphone inputs are XLR-3 type and
are electr
onically balanced. The input gain
for each input can be adjusted individually
by a volume control on the front panel
enabling the use of dynamic and powered
microphones and each has a LED level
indicator. For each channel there are
independent switches to control a high pass
filter (low frequency roll-off at 125Hz) and
to provide phantom power at +48V to the
connected microphones.
The RB-DMA2 has AES/EBU, S/PDIF and TTL
word clock sync inputs and has the same
sync modes, bit depth selection, channel
status bit adjustment, front panel LED
synchronisation and calibration routine as
the RB-ADDA. Please refer to that product
for further information.
