26CB 1/4" CCP Standard Preamplifier for Microphone with Microdot Connector
The GRAS 26CB 1/4" CCP Standard Preamplifier with Microdot Connector is a general-purpose preamplifier optimized for use with prepolarized condenser microphones. It is a small, robust unit and uses a GRAS CCP power supply, e.g., GRAS 12AL. It has a very low inherent noise level, a large dynamic range, and a frequency response from below 2 Hz to above 200 kHz.
Its small ceramic thick-film substrate has a very high input impedance and is shielded by a guard ring to minimize the influence of stray capacitance and microphonic interference.The GRAS 26CB is delivered with a built-in TEDS chip and can be programmed as a single unit with a microphone fitted.
The diameter is 6.35 mm (1/4"), length 44 mm and weight 19 g (0.67 oz)
