Our transformers are made to Geoff’s exacting specifications by the old Marinair crew in the United Kingdom. This results in the warm yet extremely punchy sound that only great iron can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe adjustable input impedance coupled with 80 dB of available gain makes the GTQ2 ideal for cleanly amplifying everything: low power ribbon mics, classic dynamic mics, and high output condensers. You don’t always have to stay clean though. Turn up the gain on the GTQ2 and hear the classic harmonics and overtones that made the Class A British sound so sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe GTQ2 EQ is made to be engineer and musician friendly. This 3-band small wonder is an incredibly powerful tone shaping tool. Geoff saw the opportunity to simplify the EQ section by focusing on the most musical frequencies so you can spend your time recording and not twiddling knobs. The High end shelving at 12k provides air and sheen while never getting thin or shrill. The Low end shelving at 80 Hz gives you enough power to fill out an anemic sound or cut to get rid of any offending rumble. The Midrange control at 400 Hz, 1.6k, and 3.2k can help you get rid of mud and get tracks to cut though your dense mix.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen is a DI not just a DI? When it’s the GTQ2 DI! The 10 Megohm DI input allows for a full frequency experience. You will hear Bass and Keyboards with a whole new sense of clarity and fullness. For those recording instruments “in the box” like electric guitars, amp and room simulations will sound more real than ever since the GTQ2 provides an unparalleled source material for the modeling program to react to.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe GTQ2 is truly an all-purpose mic pre. Ideal for any instrument, vocal, or sound effect, the GTQ2 is being used around the world by professionals in Music, Film, and TV.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput impedance = 1,200 ohms or 300 ohms balanced and floating\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced and floating Output will drive any impedance from 600 ohms upwards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eD.I.
