With the 992 you have the option of choosing between \ntwo unique input topology configurations- TLS or EG. The\n992 EG \n(extended gain) utilizes a Jensen\nJT-115k transformer and the timeless \n12AX7\/ECC83 vacuum tube, and is able to provide a generous \u0026gt;74dB of\nraw internal gain. With over 40dB of gain deployed to the input pot \nalone your ability to explore the sonic richness of each stage\nbecomes even more dramatic than that of the 992 TLS. The direct \ninstrument input (Hi-Z) utilizes a high performance\nCinemag direct transformer which feeds the balanced differential \namplifier input.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom there the signal reaches the cross-coupled push-pull output stage \nwhere we’ve place two 12AU7 tubes in parallel along\nwith the Jensen JT-11 transformer to balance the outputs. The balanced \nclass-A circuitry used throughout this amplifier provides twice\nthe headroom of single ended designs as well as low noise performance. \nWith the use of four tubes per channel, the 992 easily delivers\nperformance well beyond the limits of audibility.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn operation, the user has individual control over the input and output gain stages of each\nchannel. This provides uncommon flexibility to delve into the 992’s broad sonic pallet making\nit one of the most versatile preamplifiers in any environment. Push the inputs hard and capture\nthat elusive air that can only come from fully balanced tube gain. Or, pull the inputs back and\nfavor the output stage for a cleaner, more linear signal - the choice is yours. Output signal\nstrength is easily monitored through an isolated Sifam back-lit VU meter. There are also five\nilluminated toggle switches per channel for Meter On\/Off, 48v (Phantom), -20db input pad,\nphase reverse and Mute.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAll of this is housed in a chassis that is built like a tank. Designed with reliability and “on the\nroad” stamina as a requirement, we start with high grade aluminum stock milled to a sturdy 1\/4”\nfront panel with chip resistant powder coating for the finish. All internal components are well\nsecured using PEM type fasteners and tie-downs. And, of course, ultra-premium components\nare used throughout: 3\/4w Vishay resistors, ASC caps, sealed premium relays ... Our goal is to\ncommunicate a sense of robust sturdiness when interfacing with the 992. Each unit is assembled\nby hand with much care and attention to detail with the hope of preparing it to be the next\ncenter piece for any professional recording or broadcast environment. We encourage you to try\none and experience for yourself what we think is a new standard of pure tube amplification.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFeatured Highlights:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Isolated VU Meters\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight Total Vacuum Tubes\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully Variable Input~Output Control\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust Construction\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced Circuitry Throughout\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Z Instrument Input\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Tubes Components\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJensen JT-11 Output Transformer\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual Channel Mute Function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LaChapell Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449405501543,"sku":"18103","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_lachapell_992eg_front_3301e04b-db3a-40fc-8d30-aec91c377e54.jpg?v=1787088876","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/lachapell-audio-992eg-mic-pre-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
