Vertigo VSP-2 Dual Mic Preamp with Cinemag Transformers

Vertigo VSP-2 Dual Mic Preamp with Cinemag Transformers

The heart of this unit is Vertigo Sound 100% discrete Twin Op Amp circuit called the OPA (operational amplifier) 1976.

These in-house stages are combined with Cinemags world famous CMMI-2C transformers to provide a smooth warm and defined sound from the lowest bass to the very top end of the sonic spectrum. The CMMI-2C transformer can handle very high input levels and provides a very linear phase behaviour because of low capacitance problems due to it`s low ratio of 1:2. Further the close ratio of the transformer forces the discrete OP Amp to provide most of the amplification in the VSP-2. This full throttle “pedal to the floor” circuitry enables a unique, rich, full and characterful sound.

The Discrete OP AMP 1976

The Vertigo Sound 1976 is a fully discrete Discrete Operational Amplifier. This very well thought out classic circuitry together with the Jensen JT16 transformer and Panasonic Coupling Caps plus the specific choice of components of the OP Amp gives you a fresh, punchy precise colourful sound without sounding dull or nasty at anytime.

Features:

• Gain control: 10-position Gray hill Rotary switch with 6db step increments. The full range of the unit is 12-72db
• Fine Gain control: 41 click Alps 0-6db fine gain trim
• 120Hz/off/80hz: Switch that engages lowcut input filter 12db/oct at 80hz or 120 HZ
• Signal & Clip LED: This LED either indicates Green for a reasonable signal level presence at the output or red for close to Overload. There is no in between orange state to indicate clipping clearly
• LED Green: – 6dBu to 19dBu at the output of the
• VSP-2 >>>> reasonable output level
• LED Red: +19dBu at the output of the VSP-2 >>>> close to clip level
• 48V: 48V switches ramped phantom power
• -20dB: The pad does not effect the input imedance of the VSP-2! The Pad circuitry is switched out the input stage completley when disabled
• It is recommended to use the Pad function for 12dB-18dB-24dB-30dB only
