The elixir preamplifier module is an excellent compliment to the "fatter" sound of many modules now available in the API* 500VPR Series format and has been designed to provide exceptionally low noise wide bandwidth amplification of microphone and instrument signals. The elixir will suit those who desire a recording preamplifier where just a slight amount of bass colour is added to the original signal whilst retaining full treble extension and a smooth midrange - warm, sweet, liquid - the perfect blend.
Min Gain Mic = +22dB (-2dB with pad in)
Max Gain Mic = +70dB
Min Gain Instrument = +12dB (-3dB with pad in)
Max Gain Instrument = +60dB
Maximum Output Level = +34dBu into 3k ohm load.
Frequency Response Mic = 10Hz to 300kHz @ 20dB gain (-3dB).
Frequency Response Instrument = 10Hz to 120kHz @ 20dB gain (-3dB).
Slew Rate = 30V/uS @ +20dBu output level
Harmonic Distortion measured at -20dBu input level, gain adjusted for +10dBu output level
Mic = 0.15% @ 100Hz, 0.01% @ 1kHz, 0.005% @ 10kHz
Instrument = 0.15% @ 100Hz, 0.015% @ 1kHz, 0.015% @10kHz
EIN Mic = -132.5dB A wtg, 150ohm source Z.
Signal to Noise Ratio Mic = -73dB A wtg, input shorted.
Signal to Noise Ratio Instrument = -76dB A wtg, input shorted.
CMNR Mic = -78dB @ 100Hz, -100dB @ 1kHz, -100dB @ 10kHz.
Input Impedance Mic = 4k ohms/1k2 ohms switchable.
Input Impedance Instrument = 1MEG ohms/20k ohms switchable.
Controls = Gain, Mute, Phase Reverse, 20dB input Pad, Input impedance, Phantom pwr.
Indicators = 4 LED peak reading meter.
Size = (37Wx132H). Fits 1 space in API(TM) 500 series rack format
Power requirements = 150mA +/- 15-18 volts DC, as supplied by frame power supply.
