INTRODUCTION
Specifically designed for ribbon microphones, the RPQ2 excels at
drawing out the warmth and lush sound ribbons are uniquely known
for. With 81dB of sweet JFET gain, the RPQ2 delivers the quietness,
and headroom needed for today's high-resolution recordings. With
phantom power disengaged, the NoLoad™ input impedance at 63K
Ohms means the RPQ2 won't load down a mic and change its sound.
The RPQ2's CurveShaper™ EQ gives you the tools to control your
ribbons right at the start of the signal path. Switchable and tunable low
and high-frequency controls allow you to tame proximity and provide
HF extension. The RPQ2 also includes front panel Direct Inputs, Mic/
Line switches for balanced line inputs and outputs, as well as inserts
for patching compressors or other effects between the preamp and
CurveShaper™ EQ section. This feature is particularly useful for
bypassing the preamp section when you want to use the unit in Line
Input mode for post-EQ processing. Engineers have discovered that the
RPQ2 also complements their moving coil and condenser microphones.
Like our Big Ribbons, we designed the RPQ2 to have a natural and
musical tonality.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
To maintain the best performance from your new AEA RPQ2 preamp,
take note of these two requirements:
1) Never place preamp in close proximity to electromagnetic fields or
hot surfaces. Electromagnetic fields created by power transformers,
motors, or RF transmitters can potentially damage or interfere with the
preamp functionality. Make sure to keep your preamp away from these
sources in addition to hot surfaces.
2) Before turning on the power, all connections to the preamp should be
made and the Mic Gain and Output Level controls set at their minimum
settings. Be sure to examine your signal chain before powering up the
preamp to ensure sudden loud noises are not emitted which could
damage your system or hearing.
