This AEA RPQ500 has been fully tested by our expert team and comes with a money back guarantee and lifetime support. It came from the private studio of a vocalist with light use.
The AEA RPQ500 is a single-channel 500 Series microphone preamp that packs the acclaimed rackmount RPQ’s circuit into a lunchbox-friendly module. It’s built around the same JFET amplifier as the full-size RPQ, delivering 81dB of gain with a noise floor below -130dBu and frequency response spanning 3Hz to 100kHz. Its NoLoad input impedance above 10K Ohms keeps the preamp from loading down a microphone and altering its sound, while a Low Energy Storage circuit design allows instant recovery from overloads. Though optimized for low-output ribbon microphones, it also works well with condenser mics and includes a switchable 48V phantom power option. The standout feature is its CurveShaper EQ, originally designed to capture every nuance of ribbon mics, with a tunable low-frequency filter that tames proximity-effect bass buildup and a high-frequency shelving boost for adding air and presence. A Line/Mic switch lets it double as a mixing or mastering tool, making the RPQ500 a versatile workhorse for both tracking and post-production in any API 500-series rack.
