Dual Mic Preamp with Phantom Power and Direct Box
With the tremendous proliferation of PC based recording systems there has arisen a new need to interface mics and guitar to line level PC sound cards. Introducing Audio Buddy, the ultra quiet, phantom powered dual mic preamp and direct box. Audio Buddy is the perfect companion piece for any digital audio system. It’s the ideal audio gateway for recording the two most significant, non-line level instruments: microphones and electric guitars. Audio Buddy features include:
• 2 independent XLR, fully balanced inputs.

• Individual signal and clipping LEDs for each of the preamplifiers.
• XLR phantom power can be switched on and off for both of the Mic preamps.
