A Secret Weapon for Your Passive Ribbon and Dynamic Mics

The sE Electronics DM2 TNT is an essential tool for recording and front-of-house engineers who want to get the most out of their passive ribbon and dynamic microphones. This active in-line preamp provides a robust 15 or 30dB gain boost, allowing low-output mics to reach optimal levels without added noise or coloration. With eight switchable load impedance settings ranging from 50 ohms to 10 megaohms, the DM2 TNT adapts to any mic or recording scenario, ensuring superior performance whether in the studio or live environment. Inserted between a microphone and a mic preamp, it also reduces the risk of interference while delivering a clean, healthy signal to your preamp.

High-Performance Class A Design

Featuring a state-of-the-art Class A circuit and hand-selected high-grade FETs, the DM2 TNT delivers some of the lowest self-noise in its class. Its dedicated output buffer ensures that the gain boost remains consistently at 15dB or 30dB regardless of the load, thanks to the eight switchable impedance settings. The DM2’s ultra-low output impedance allows it to drive long cable runs with minimal susceptibility to RF interference, buzz, and hum.

Note: For best results, plug the DM2 directly into the microphone output. If a cable must be used between the mic and DM2, keep it as short as possible to maintain optimal performance.

What sE Electronics Says...

Explosive Level for All Your Passive Mics

The sE Electronics DM2 TNT lets you choose between a moderate +15dB or an explosive +30dB gain boost for any passive microphone. Featuring an ultra-high impedance input and eight load settings, it ensures precise matching for dynamic and passive ribbon mics while maintaining clean, uncolored signal integrity.
