Cine-Pre
New, lightweight 2-Channel Microphone Pre-Amp with Monitoring
The Cine-Pre is a new 2-Channel Microphone Pre-Amp with monitoring. It's also available with timecode! At just 5 ounces and 6.5 cubic inches, it is designed to have all the quality and features of larger high end pre amps, but without the size or weight. It is a 2 channel pre-amp with headphone monitoring, “EZ Gain Set Up,” high pass filter, limiter, rotary level controls, 4 switchable gain settings, phantom power on channel 1, and optional timecode generator. Another exciting design feature is it’s low current consumption which means it can be run from an existing camera or bag battery so no additional weight is added. The Cine-Pre is full of features, and yet it is so lightweight and small you will barely notice it is there.
At just 3” x 2” x 1”, the Cine-Pre footprint is easily compared to the size of a credit card. With its small size, it has been designed to fit on cameras, audio bags, etc... Shooters can be more easily mobile without having to worry about cables running to bulky mixers. But it’s not just the size, the Talon basically adds very little weight since it’s only 3 ounces. (note: optional camera mounting plate adds another ounce of weight).
