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
