AKG C480 B-ULS Reference Modular Pre-Amp

Just pure sound designed for the most demanding studio and broadcast applications The C480 B is the pre-amp for the ultralinear series capsules,CK61,CK62,CK63,and CK69 ULS,and represents one of the quietest microphone amps ever built. The C480 B offers excellent audio quality and maximum flexibility. Its electronic circuitry coupled with a transformerless output stage assures completely linear transfer characteristics across the entire frequency range,while achieving self-noise figures close to the theoretical minimum.

A specially designed output stage drives difficult loads like excessively long cables without harming the signal quality. The C480 B offers a two-step high-pass filter and two gain stages of either -10dB or +6dB.
