Description
Compact, battery-powered preamp from Shure. The FP11 is a single-channel preamp with up to 84 dB gain switched in 6 dB steps. Like the Shure M267 preamp they have a switchable opto limiter in the output section which can be overdriven to produce compression & distortion
I’ve had a couple of FP11s out on loan and feedback from users is that it sounds very like the Shure M267– which means you can go from relatively clean right through to full-blown distortion just by increasing the gain
These are designed for use with mic-level signals: pad the signal down if you want to use the XLR input with line levels
I am contemplating building a 2-channel rackmount version with mains power, switchable phantom power for the mic input and line input on a combo XLR / jack connector. Please email if this sounds interesting
These are sold individually. I have multiple units in stock. Photos show two of the items I have in stock – others may look cosmetically different. Battery not included
