Prodott Overview
The TMP-1 features a robust design with intuitive controls for optimal audio processing.
Din l-immaġni turi angolat view of the DYNASTY PROAUDIO TMP-1 Professional Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier. The front panel with controls and indicators is visible, along with the sturdy black casing.
Din l-immaġni tipprovdi close-up view of the TMP-1's front panel. It clearly displays the "OUTPUT LEVEL" LED indicators, "Gain Input" and "Drive" rotary knobs, and push-buttons for "Phantom Power", "Limit", "Phase", and "Gain".
This image shows the rear panel of the TMP-1, highlighting the input and output connections. It includes XLR and 1/4-inch (6.35mm) input jacks, XLR and 1/4-inch (6.35mm) output jacks, and the AC 9V power input.
Kontrolli u Indikaturi tal-Panew ta' Quddiem
- OUTPUT LEVEL LEDs: Indicators for signal level (-10, -5, 0, +3, +6dB Peak).
- Gain Input Knob: Adjusts the input gain from minimum to maximum.
- Drive Knob: Controls the amount of tube saturation/drive.
- Phantom Power Button (ON/OFF): Activates/deactivates 48V phantom power for condenser microphones.
- Limit Button (ON/OFF): Engages/disengages the built-in limiter to prevent clipping.
- Phase Button (Reverse/Normal): Ireġġa' lura l-fażi tas-sinjal tad-dħul.
- Gain Button (+20dB/Normal): Provides an additional +20dB gain boost.
Konnessjonijiet tal-Panew ta' wara
- INPUT (XLR & 1/4-inch): Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch (6.35mm) inputs for microphones or instruments.
- OUTPUT (XLR & 1/4-inch): Balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch (6.35mm) outputs for connecting to mixers, audio interfaces, or other audio devices.
- AC 9V: Power input for the included AC adapter.
Setup
- Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the supplied AC 9V power adapter to the "AC 9V" input on the rear panel of the TMP-1, then plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet.
- Konnessjoni tal-Input:
- For microphones: Connect your microphone to either the XLR or 1/4-inch INPUT jack on the rear panel.
- For instruments: Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar, bass) to the 1/4-inch INPUT jack.
- Konnessjoni tal-Output: Connect the TMP-1's XLR or 1/4-inch OUTPUT to your mixer, audio interface, or recording device's input.
- Settings Inizjali: Before powering on, ensure the "Gain Input" and "Drive" knobs are set to their minimum positions. Ensure "Phantom Power" is OFF unless using a condenser microphone.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Tixgħel
Once all connections are made, power on the TMP-1. The "Power" LED on the front panel will illuminate.
Użu ta 'Power Phantom
If you are using a condenser microphone, press the Qawwa Phantom button to activate 48V phantom power. The corresponding LED will light up. Warning: Do not activate phantom power when using dynamic microphones or ribbon microphones, as this can cause damage.
Aġġustament tal-Gwadan tal-Input
Dawwar bil-mod il- Gain Input knob clockwise to increase the input signal level. Monitor the "OUTPUT LEVEL" LEDs. Aim for the signal to primarily light up the -5 and 0 dB LEDs during normal operation, with occasional peaks into the +3 dB LED. Avoid consistently hitting the +6dB Peak LED, which indicates clipping.
Applying Drive (Tube Saturation)
Il- Drive knob controls the amount of tube saturation. Turn it clockwise to add warmth and harmonic richness to your signal. Experiment with this control to find the desired sonic character.
Using the Limiter
Agħfas il- Limitu button to engage the built-in limiter. This helps prevent signal peaks from exceeding a certain level, protecting your recording equipment from clipping and providing a more consistent output level.
Treġġigħ lura tal-Fażi
Il- Fażi button allows you to reverse the phase of the input signal. This can be useful in multi-microphone setups to correct phase cancellation issues or for creative effects.
Additional Gain Boost
If your input signal is very low, you can press the Gwadan button to apply an additional +20dB gain boost. Use this judiciously to avoid introducing unwanted noise or distortion.

Manutenzjoni
- Tindif: Uża drapp artab u niexef biex tnaddaf il-barra tal-unità. Tużax prodotti tat-tindif likwidi jew solventi.
- Ħażna: Aħżen l-unità f'post frisk u niexef 'il bogħod mix-xemx diretta u minn temperaturi estremi.
- Sostituzzjoni tat-tubu: The 12AX7 vacuum tube has a finite lifespan. If you notice a degradation in sound quality or increased noise over time, the tube may need replacement. This should be performed by qualified service personnel.
Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Ebda qawwa | Power adapter not connected; faulty outlet; faulty adapter. | Check power connections; try a different outlet; test adapter if possible. |
| Ebda output tal-ħoss | Incorrect cable connections; gain too low; phantom power not engaged for condenser mic; faulty cable. | Verify all input/output cables are securely connected; increase Gain Input; activate Phantom Power for condenser mics; try different cables. |
| Ħoss distort | Gain too high (clipping); faulty tube; incorrect impedance. | Reduce Gain Input; check OUTPUT LEVEL LEDs for clipping; if distortion persists, consult service for tube inspection; ensure proper impedance matching. |
| Ħum jew storbju | Linja tal-art; kejbils difettużi; interferenza minn elettronika oħra. | Use balanced cables; try isolating power; move unit away from other electronic devices; check for faulty cables. |
