The DM2 TNT Dynamite is an active in-line microphone preamplifier for passive ribbon and dynamic mics. Select 15 or 30 dB of gain to lift the signal into your preamp, mixer, or interface without adding noise or coloration.

Eight load-impedance settings from 50 ohms to 10 megohms help you match microphone and preamp combinations. The Class-A FET design delivers clean gain with low self-noise, a dedicated output buffer reduces RF interference and hum, and the slim all-metal housing is built for stage use. Requires 48V phantom power. Not for use with phantom-powered or condenser microphones.
