Frequently Asked Questions - RPQ2 AEA
What type of microphones is the RPQ2 designed for?
The RPQ2 is specifically designed for ribbon microphones, but it works excellently with dynamic microphones as well. It does not provide phantom power, so condenser microphones require an external phantom power supply.
Can I use the RPQ2 with a condenser microphone?
Yes, but you need an external phantom power supply (48V) because the RPQ2 does not have built-in phantom power. Connect the condenser mic to the phantom supply, then into the RPQ2 input.
What is the gain range of the RPQ2?
The RPQ2 offers a gain range from 0 to 80 dB, adjustable via a continuous knob per channel. This high gain is ideal for low-output ribbon microphones.
Does the RPQ2 have a low cut filter?
Yes, each channel has a switchable low cut filter at 80 Hz with a gentle -3 dB per octave slope, useful for reducing low-frequency rumble or proximity effect.
How do I clean and maintain the RPQ2?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Always disconnect power before cleaning. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Can the RPQ2 be rack-mounted?
Yes, the RPQ2 has a standard 19-inch rack width and occupies 1U (1.75 inches) of rack space. It includes rack ears for mounting.
What is the warranty on the RPQ2?
AEA provides a 2-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty service, contact AEA or an authorized dealer.
Does the RPQ2 have balanced outputs?
Yes, both outputs are balanced XLR connections, providing excellent noise rejection and compatibility with professional audio equipment.
Can I use the RPQ2 as a direct injection (DI) box?
While the RPQ2 is primarily a microphone preamplifier, it can drive a line input. However, it does not have a high-impedance instrument input typical of DI boxes. Use a dedicated DI for guitar or bass.
Where can I find the full user manual for the RPQ2?
The complete user manual is available for free download on notice-facile.com in PDF format. You can also request a translated version via the website.
