{"product_id":"caveman-audio-ap1-acoustic-preamp","title":"Caveman Audio AP1 Acoustic Preamp","description":"The AP1 is a high-quality preamp, specially designed to enhance the natural sound of your acoustic instrument. Its simple controls make the preamp easy to use, and it is just as useful on stage as it is in the studio. Over the years, Caveman has succeeded in developing a design philosophy that enables them to reduce ground-borne noise by up to 120dB, while also making their products virtually immune to both radio frequency interference (RFI) and external magnetic fields. The AP1 Acoustic Preamp is therefore not only exceptionally musical but also extremely low-noise. Despite the absence of an input level control, it is unlikely that you will need to worry about overloading the AP1’s input stage, as both the wired and wireless inputs can handle up to +20dBm. The maximum output level is also +20dBm (with a load of 1.5kΩ or greater). The wired input has an input impedance of 5MΩ, making the AP1 compatible with a wide range of piezo pickups, including older acoustic pickups from the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngaging the boost switch gives you access to up to +18dB of boost and the AP1’s selectable high-cut filter. The high-cut filter functions as a high-shelf EQ that reduces high frequencies the more boost you add; an 18dB boost will therefore result in an 18dB reduction in the highest frequencies. The high-cut filter is particularly useful for softening any harshness in the treble range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe AP1 Acoustic Preamp is equipped with an unbalanced high-impedance jack input for your instrument. In addition, you get transformer-balanced amplifier and tuner jack outputs, as well as a 9V DC output to power your tuner; the red and green LEDs indicate whether an input cable is working correctly or is shorted. The toggle switch next to the power input is for lifting the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are a dedicated hobby musician or a touring professional musician, the Caveman Audio AP1 acoustic preamp is an outstanding tool that you can use to take your acoustic sound to a new and higher level. With its first-class sound quality, versatile features, and wireless connectivity options, the Caveman Audio AP1 will be a valuable investment.","brand":"Caveman Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53752835899730,"sku":"CAVEMAN-AP1","price":5995.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9256\/6610\/files\/Caveman-Audio-AP1.webp?v=1781516938","url":"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/en\/products\/caveman-audio-ap1-acoustic-preamp","provider":"Akustikken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
