The AEA RPQ500 ribbon preamp and EQ provides a high-output, high-impedance, low-noise gain channel with rich, natural sound that brings out the full potential of your microphones. Specifically designed for ribbon microphones, the RPQ500 excels at extracting the warmth and lush sound that ribbons are particularly known for. The RPQ500 is a powerhouse that delivers unrivaled high gain with low noise. With 81 dB of JFET output, the RPQ500 gives you enough juice to record soft sources without ever having to worry about noise.
With the RPQ500, you'll never again consider a source too quiet to record with a ribbon mic. Passive ribbons with low output levels necessarily preamps providing a high output level. If the preamp you are using does not have enough clean gain, the mic signal may seem too weak or too noisy, which may be apparent when recording quiet acoustic guitars or strings, especially from a distance or with long cables. The RPQ500 solves this problem.
The RPQ500's CurveShaper™ EQ is a powerful tool that gives you the ability to control your ribbons from the start of the signal path. Adjustable low and high frequency controls allow you to address proximity issues and provide high frequency extension with slope control. High-frequency filter boosting lets you add presence and air to your source – perfect for sources like ribbons and 2-buses that often benefit from extra high end. Low frequency control easily eliminates bass buildup quickly and discreetly.
