The Dual Mix Audio Preamp from AER is a high quality two-channel preamp for instrument, line or microphone signals.
Part of the acclaimed AER Pocket Tools series, the unit offers two inputs, each for one microphone or instrument and line-level signal with switchable 24V phantom power. The Dual Mix is especially suited as channel extension in connection with amplifiers, as an instrument/microphone stage preamp and as a headphone rehearsal amplifier.
The AER Dual-Mix 2 preamp features four multi-effect presets; two reverbs, one echo and one chorus.
With low noise and plenty of headroom, the quality of the AER Dual-Mix 2 is outstanding – this is a professional tool for players who are serious about their sound.
If you gig regularly with just an electro-acoustic guitar we recommend that you make the Dual Mix a permament part of your setup rather than rely on the vagaries of any particular venue’s own DI boxes.
With its headphone facility, aux input and digital effects, the Dual Mix is a winner.
