The EBS MicroBass3 is a 2-channel preamp, built exclusively with premium components. It is engineered by EBS in Sweden with technologies from the famous HD360 and Fafner II amplifier designs. The preamp operates at a signal level equal to a professional mixing console (+/- 15V)which gives you plenty of headroom. The high signal level makes it suitable to use as a preamp in combination with any type of power amp.
Run theCleanandDrivechannels in series or parallel. Use the dual balancedXLR-outputsto tap the signal post and pre EQ at the same time. If you run theEffects loopin stereo mode, the balanced outputs become a Left and Right output instead. With 10 Mohms input impedance, it handles any type of bass –passive,activeor withpiezopickups.
Thebuilt-in tunermakes it easy to tune between songs without the need of an external device. The MicroBass 3 also carries an onboardcompressor, similar to the one found on several EBS amplifiers, and several more features.
The analog EBS MicroBass 3 delivers your tone – every time.
