The NE5532 Preamplifier provides clean linelevel amplification using a dual NE5532 opamp and a dual AC power supply. It is designed to enhance linelevel signals with reliable, lownoise performance. Key benefits and why you need it Delivers clean linelevel gain to preserve signal integrity before further amplification or recording. Uses a dedicated dual NE5532 opamp for stable, consistent performance across typical audio ranges. Simple integration with standard linelevel sources for a straightforward upgrade to your signal chain. What it does and how it works Audio Input: Line enables connection to common linelevel sources such as DACs, CD players, mixers, or other audio sources. OPAMP Chip: Dual NE5532 provides the core amplification with emphasis on low noise and good linearity. Power Supply: Dual AC12V15V power input supports a dualrail supply for reliable operation. Compatibility and practical considerations Designed for linelevel devices and typical audio gear in home, studio, or small venue setups. Works as a preamplification stage before a power amplifier, mixer, audio interface, or recording device, helping to optimize signal levels and headroom. Performance attributes Focused on preserving audio quality during amplification while providing adequate gain for downstream equipment. Built around a proven dual opamp architecture to ensure repeatable results in everyday use. Use scenarios Home studio or editing setup: connect a DAC or mixer to the preamplifier, then route to a power amplifier or audio interface for recording or monitoring. Hifi system upgrade: insert the preamplifier between a linesource (CD player, streamer) and an amplifier to improve signal integrity and control. Small venue or rehearsal space: use as a linelevel stage preamp to drive a mixer or powered speakers with clearer, more stable input signals.
