The Radial Engineering Jensen Twin-Servo 500 Series Mic Preamp is a faithful recreation of Deane Jensen's original Twin-Servo 990 mic pre, regarded by many audio professionals as one of the finest preamps ever made.

This mic preamp has pedigree. The circuit designed by the Jensen engineering team includes two cascaded 990 op-amps to share the load and provide 60 dB of clean gain. The two servos eliminate the need for signal-degrading capacitors in the audio path and allow for less than -120 dBu of noise.

Engineered for superior sound quality, the two oversized input and output Jensen transformers are a crucial part of the design. They contribute to lowering the noise floor and freeing the signal from hum and RF interference, while producing an extended frequency response and plenty of headroom.

Augmented by a 180º polarity-reverse switch, a -15 dB pad, and a high-pass filter that eliminates excessive low-end, the Twin-Servo opens musical tone-shaping possibilities. Other features include a dual-gang potentiometer for optimal gain, a 10-segment LED meter that gives instant visual feedback for the input signal and a 48V phantom power-activation switch to power condenser microphones. The front-panel Neutrik combo connector offers the choice of XLR microphone input and standard hi-Z 1/4" instrument input.

Re-imagined for today, this adaptation of the Jensen Twin-Servo fits the popular 500 series format.

Jensen Mic Input Transformer

The JT-16-PCJR is exceptionally quiet and linear from 5 Hz to 50 kHz with less than 0.06% distortion at 20 Hz

Jensen Dual Op-Amps

100% discrete audio signal path without any tone-shifting capacitors

Jensen Output Transformer

The JT-11-EM is linear from 2 Hz to 200 kHz with less than 0.001% distortion at 20 Hz

180° Polarity-Reverse Switch

Reverses pins 2 and 3 at the output to help phase-align microphones when two channels are in stereo use

10-Segment Meter

10-Segment Peak Indicator with Hold. Custom-designed circuit for greater VU accuracy

Dual-Gang Pot

Simultaneously controls the dual-990 op-amp topology for optimal gain at all levels

High-Pass Filter

Gentle high-pass filter may be inserted into the signal path to reduce excessive low-frequency content and control resonance

Pad

Reduces the input sensitivity by -15 dB when amplifying exceedingly high output sources

48V

Activates the 48V phantom power supply for use with condenser microphones and active direct boxes

Combo Input

Combination balanced XLR mic input and 1/4" instrument input is mounted on front panel for ease of use

Ground Lift Switch

Set-and-forget rear-panel ground switch lifts the pin-1 ground at the XLR input

Omniport

Available when used with the Radial Workhorse, the Omniport accesses a hi-Z instrument input

Full Enclosure

100% encased steel casing reduces magnetic interference from nearby modules that may cause noise pollution

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
