Get the most out of your mic preamps. Use your preamps as line-level saturation devices, or pad their output so you can drive them harder.

The L2P is a two-channel, balanced line/mic pad with two attenuation options. The -10dB setting is perfect for padding the output of mic preamps so you can run them hot without clipping your converters. The -30dB setting is a "line-to-mic" pad that allows you to run tracks directly from your audio interface or mixer to the inputs of your preamps.

Features:

  • Selectable -10dB or -30dB pads
  • Two channels
  • Excellent matching between channels for stereo operation
  • Line-to-mic pad 
Input Impedance 8.1k/5.5k (line out / mic out)
Output Impedance 2.7k/150
Attenuation 10dB/30dB, selectable
Noise Floor -113dBu/-115dBu (line out / mic out)

    Excellent build

    The contents of the kit were well sorted. All of the instructions were very clear and concise. I tested each component before assembly with no issues. Assembly took 30 minutes plus testing which total time was one hour. Test was very quiet, no added noise. The tone of the amplifier sounded uncolored by the L2A. Through a SSL2+ interface. Excited to get into the next kit.

    Fun and useful project

    This little device is quite useful around the studio, fun little project, high quality parts, clear instructions. What else can you ask?

    Perfect

    Great little box to allow you to send sound from your interface to external preamps, or to reduce gain from outboard processing before coming back into your DAW.

    I have two.

    They were easy to make.

    Fun project that does what I need

    This was a fun, quick project. I put this together in about 20 minutes and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Literally doesn’t have a “sound” to it. Super transparent, no noise either. Good stuff!

    Great tool, super fun and fast to build

    Eventually you will need or at least want one of these if you have a home or pro studio. It's a simple circuit and fun to build too.
