The EBS MicroBass
3 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 the
Clean
and
Drive
channels in series or parallel. Use the dual balanced
XLR-outputs
to tap the signal post
and
pre EQ at the same time. If you run the
Effects loop
in stereo mode, the balanced outputs become a Left and Right output instead. With 10 Mohms input impedance, it handles any type of bass –
passive
,
active
or with
piezo
pickups.
The
built-in tuner
makes it easy to tune between songs without the need of an external device. The MicroBass 3 also carries an onboard
compressor
, similar to the one found on several EBS amplifiers, and several more features.
The analog EBS MicroBass 3 ensures your sound – every time.
