DPA Microphones MMP-A Preamplifier

High-Performance Preamplifier for Modular Microphone Systems
The DPA MMP-A Preamplifier is a premium transformerless preamp designed for use with the DPA d:dicate™ MMC series microphone capsules. Engineered to provide exceptional transparency and accuracy, this modular output stage ensures pristine audio capture with minimal coloration, making it an essential tool for professional recording, broadcast, and live sound applications.

Transformerless Design for Pure, Uncolored Sound
The MMP-A preamplifier features a transformerless circuit, allowing it to deliver a completely neutral signal with low self-noise and high dynamic range. This design ensures that the full frequency response of the attached MMC capsule is preserved, making it ideal for capturing everything from delicate acoustic performances to high-energy live events.

Switchable 20dB Pad for High-SPL Environments
With a built-in 20dB switchable pad, the MMP-A preamp is capable of handling extremely loud sound sources without distortion. This feature is particularly useful when working with high-SPL environments, such as amplified instruments, orchestral performances, or field recordings where unpredictable volume spikes may occur.

Phantom-Powered for Convenient Operation
The MMP-A preamplifier requires 48V phantom power, supplied by an external source such as a mixing console, audio interface, or professional field recorder. This ensures compatibility with industry-standard audio equipment, allowing seamless integration into any professional recording setup.

Modular Compatibility with DPA MMC Capsules
Designed as part of DPA’s modular microphone system, the MMP-A preamplifier is fully compatible with a range of MMC capsules, including omnidirectional, cardioid, wide cardioid, and shotgun options. This versatility allows users to tailor their microphone configuration to different recording scenarios without the need to purchase multiple microphones.

Durable Construction for Professional Use
Housed in a sleek black metal chassis, the MMP-A is built to withstand the demands of professional use in studios, live performances, and on-location recordings. Its rugged design ensures long-term reliability while maintaining a lightweight form factor for easy transport and setup.
