WELCOME

Congratulations on your purchase of the AEA TRP3 microphone
preamplifier, AEA's third iteration of our low noise, ultra-high gain
and impedance architecture. Inspired by its older siblings the TRP
and the TRP2, the TRP3 improves upon a trusted blueprint using the
most up-to-date technology available. At AEA, we put the same
thought and care into our preamps as we put into the development of
our microphones: sonic quality comes first .
Since 2006, AEA's preamps have surpassed the limitations of 20th
century electronics, allowing you to fully appreciate the sonic
complexities of your microphone. The TRP3 leans on the side of
neutral but is unlike other "clean" preamps because of its rich and
musical tonality. It offers up to 85 dB of effortless gain for any
microphone and sonics that invite hearts to listen deeper.
Your TRP3 is 100 percent handcrafted in Pasadena, California. AEA is
a family-owned company with a small crew of skilled technicians,
many of whom are musicians themselves. Proudly independent, we
still manufacture all our ribbon microphones and preamps by hand,
in-house, from locally sourced parts. We hope the TRP3 helps capture
many magical musical performances. Read this manual thoroughly to
make sure you get the best sound and longevity from your new
preamp. We invite you to become part of the AEA community by
sharing your experiences with the TRP3 via email, phone, or our
social media channels.
The AEA Team
