The VSP-2 is VERTIGO SOUNDs 3rd BIG IMPACT DESIGN and is setting a new benchmark in microphone amplification.
The heart of this unit is Vertigo Sound 100% discrete Twin Op Amp circuit called the OPA (operational amplifier) 1976.
These "in house" engineered & built discrete amplifier stage is combined with Jensens world famous JT-16 Mic transformers and provide a smooth warm and defined sound from the lowest bass to the very top end of the sonic spectrum.The JT-16 transformer can handle very high input levels and provides a very linear phase behaviour because of low capacitance problems due to it`s low ratio of 1:2. Further the low ratio of the transformer forces the discrete OP Amp to provide most of the amplification in the VSP-2. This " full throttle","pedal to the floor" circuitry enables a unique, rich, full and characterful sound.

- Gain control:
- 10-position Grayhill Rotaryswitch with 6db step increments. The full range of the unit is 12-72db
- Fine Gain control:
- 41 click Alps 0-6db fine gain trim
- 120Hz/off/80hz:
- Switch that engages lowcut input filter 12db/oct at 80hz or 120 HZ.
- Signal & Clip LED:
- This LED either indicates Green for a reasonable signal level presence at the output or red for close to Overload.
- There is no inbetween orange state to indicate clipping clearly.
- LED green:
- - 6dBu to 19dBu at the output of the VSP-2 >>>> reasonable output level
- LED red:
- +19dBu at the output of the VSP-2 >>>> close to clipping level
- Note: The maximum output of the VSP-2 is +24dbU, the red clipping led indicates the maximum capable input level of most common converters and analog gear.
- INSTRUMENT IN:
- This is an unbalanced input for guitar, bass, samples, etc. This unbalanced input goes directly to the TWIN OPA input without using any circuitry inbetween. (Real DI Input)
- Simply throw the toggle switch and you're off. The output is muted when switching to avoid loud clicks in your monitors.
- 48V :
- 48V switches ramped phantom power.
- -20dB:
- Pads the input signal 20dB down. The pad does not affect the input impedance of the VSP-2!
- The pad circuitry is switched out of the Input stage completley when disabled.
- Please use the Pad for the gain Settings 12dB-18db-24dB and 30dB only!!! The Pad does not effect the sound of your signal but settings like 54dB with Pad engaged e.G. will worsen your signal to noise ratio.
- PHASE:
- Reverses the polarity of the pre amp's output.
- Dual Mono Mic pre with 1,5K input impedance
- Jensen Balanced In. That 1646 Balanced Out
- Dynamic Range: 116 db @ 36dB Gain
- Frequency response: 10 Hz … 35 kHz (+– 1db) @ 36dB Gain
- Max. Output Level: + 24 dBu / 600 Ohm balanced floating
- Noise: -81dBu (20 Hz – 22 kHz – unweighted, RMS) @ 36 db Gain
