CL- 125/2 mic preamplifier has been conceived to offer to the professional user a unit that combines high reliability, rugged design, audio quality, versatility and ease of use. CL-125/2 is perfect for recording every kind of music from classic, pop/rock, electronic and in all the situations where maximum sound quality and special attention to dynamic range and signal to noise ratio is needed.

The CL-125/2 technical specifications shows that it is the perfect audio system for actual digital recording 24bit/192kHz environments where superior performance is required. CL-125/2 is based on the use of the latest circuit topologies, characterized by very low distortion, ultra-low noise and very wide frequency response. The amplifier architecture is based on two high dynamic range gain stages in order to avoid any saturation.

Even if the input stage of the CL-125/2 do not saturate up to +24 dBu, a special protection circuit limits the input level at +20 dBu in order to prevent any damage. The extended input dynamic range avoids the necessity of the input pad.

Moreover a special circuit allows the connection of microphones even if the unit is turned on with the Phantom Power activated. CL-125/2 is dedicated (due to his absolute sonic level quality) to high professional vocal recordings, classical instruments, high dynamic range instruments such as drums and percussions.

    CL-125/2 Key-Technologies

  • LARGE BANDWIDTH (LBW)

    Large Bandwidth (LB) means a very fast transient response able to represent the original sound with the maximum temporal resolution. LB is required to improve the perception of a “real sound” and to represent the details of the original sound.

  • PERFECT SQUARE WAVE (PSW)

    Large bandwidth plus very low total harmonic distortion means a perfect square wave reproduction.

  • ULTRA LOW NOISE (ULN)

    Ultra Low Noise (ULN) active and passive components and ULN design techniques. This requirement is especially important when the audio bandwidth is large as in the case of ARREL Audio products.

  • HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)

    High Dynamic Range (HDR) means that the saturation probability of the output stages is very low. This is obtained by using special rail to rail circuits and by increasing the power supply voltage of the analog circuits.

  • ELECTROMECHANICAL FAULT TOLERANCE (EFT)

    Electromechanical tolerance means that electromechanical components are doubled in every situation in which maximum reliability it is important due to a frequent use (switches, push buttons, potentiometers).

  • THROUGH-HOLE TECHNOLOGY (THT)

    Through Hole technology means the maximum reliability in terms of thermal and mechanical stresses especially for connectors and electromechanical components.

  • NO INPUT PAD TECHNOLOGY (NIP)

    In the ARREL preamplifiers, special input circuits and a high output dynamic range output stage guarantees no saturation, consequently the input pad is not required.
