{"product_id":"avedis-line-pad-z","title":"Avedis Line Pad-Z","description":"\u003cp\u003eBecause the MA5's gain is stepped, it makes a very accurate and great-sounding line amplifier to run mixes through. It will add its signature harmonic overtones to the low end. However it is important to optimize the input load and output source impedance's.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAvedis Line Pad-Z\u003c\/span\u003e is designed for mic pre's without line inputs, such as the MA5, enabling you to plug a line signal into the mic input.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The LINE PAD-Z adapter serves three important purposes: 1) It provides the proper load to your PT or other converters without overloading them. 2) It drops the level -35dB, to the range of a microphone. 3) Its output impedance \"looks\" like a microphone to the MA5 preamp, so source impedances appear normal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With the use of the LINE PAD-Z on the input of the MA5, unity gain would be at the 35dB position on the gain switch, with the output turned all the way up.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eIMPORTANT:\u003c\/span\u003e When coming out of the preamp into the A\/D converter, you must go into the LINE input of your digital converter, not the MIC input which would add gain; otherwise you will have headroom issues and a poor signal-to-noise ratio. Some inputs are both, so you must switch to LINE input or use the TRS part of the combo XLR - read the manual to find out.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The LINE PAD-Z works very well and can be used with other high quality, low noise preamps. Not recommended for unbalanced interfaces. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDO NOT ENGAGE PHANTOM POWER WHEN USING THIS LINE PAD!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMade with Switchcraft parts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance = 10K ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAttenuation = -36dB\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance = 150 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Avedis Audio Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449305526375,"sku":"10129","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/avedis_line_pad.jpg?v=1787088483","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/avedis-line-pad-z","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
