Dee-Eye Musical Instrument Preamplifier

The Dee-Eye Instrument Preamp offers a simple solution for connecting instruments with high-impedance piezoelectric pickups to a venue’s sound system. Any passive or active instrument pickup is supported.

The Dee-Eye high input-impedance allows piezoelectric pickups to operate essentially unloaded, which results in a smooth, natural, acoustic instrument tone. Low distortion, low noise, and generous headroom mean clear tone comes through even when an instrument is played percussively and loudly.

The Dee-Eye also works well with instruments that have magnetic pickups, such as electric guitars and electric basses.

Features:

• Input: high-impedance, 1 million ohms, maximum 5 volts peak-to-peak level.
• Low-impedance, balanced, XLR output, 600 ohms, will drive long cables to a mix-board.
• Requires XLR Phantom Power.
• Power OK Light is on when preamp is properly powered from the mixboard.
• ¼ inch output and input for accessory loop, suitable for stomp-tuners or effects boxes or for output to on-stage guitar amps or PAs.
• Internal filtering to reject radio-frequency interference from neon lights and cell phones.
• Small Size: 1.25 x 1.5 x 3.75 inches. Weight: 6 ounces.
