- Page 3 1.0 About Daking Audio Congratulations! You’ve purchased a Mic Pre II, a very high-end piece of gear! The Mic Pre II uses discrete transistor Class A circuits, Jensen microphone transformers, THAT Corporation differential amps and printed circuit board- mounted switches. Signal capacitors are precision polypropylene or ultra low- leakage electrolytic types.
- Page 4 40-year-old switches, capacitors, resistors, connectors, and obsolete components can cause. The Mic Pre II is the latest in the line of Daking products that live up to that promise. It features input transformers made by Jensen, perhaps the premiere transformer maker in the world today, high quality capacitors, resistors, and discrete transistors, built in the USA.
- Page 5 A high-pass filter is literally a filter that passes frequencies higher than a designated point. The Daking Mic Pre II has a filter that’s variable from 12Hz to 200Hz as well as an ‘out’ position. You can use it to filter out rumble from air conditioning on vocal tracks, boominess from acoustic guitars, or anything that’s muddy from too much low end.
- Page 6 Meter The Meter on the Mic Pre II is a true VU Meter with 300ms averaging ballistics. The main difference between this LED meter and a mechanical VU meter is that this meter extends to +22dB, while a mechanical meter only goes up to +3dB.
- Page 7 0dB on the meter is in fact 0dBu. This means that when the Mic Pre II’s meter is reading 0dB and you patch into another standard VU meter directly from the mic pre you will show a reading of -4dB.
