The d.W. fearn Vt-12 Vacuum tube 70dB microphone Preamplifier is designed to accommodate the low output level of ribbon and dynamic microphones. it can also be used with condenser microphones. (Our Vt-1 and Vt-2 Vacuum tube microphone Preamplifiers are optimized for condensers.) The Vt-12 is very similar to our Vt-2, but with higher gain (the Vt-2 has 53dB of gain). We use the same custom Jensen transformers and the same sonic philosophy as the Vt-2. So the trademark sound is there _definitely in the d.W. fearn family of products. to make the Vt-12 more versatile, we include provision for phantom powering condenser microphones. But since many engineers are concerned about possible damage to ribbon mics if phantom power is accidently applied, we have a rear panel switch that disables all possibility of applying phantom power.The front panel “+48” switches are inoperative in this mode, and a dual red/green indicator displays the status (green for disabled phantom power, off when phantom power is available but not turned on and red when phantom power is turned on.)
