The VSP-2 is VERTIGO SOUNDs 3rd BIG IMPACT DESIGN and is setting a new
benchmark in microphone amplification.
The heart of this unit is Vertigo Sound 100% discrete Twin Op Amp circuit
called the OPA (operational amplifier) 1976.
These "in house" engineered & built discrete amplifier stage is
combined with Jensens world famous JT-16 Mic transformers and provide a
smooth warm and defined sound from the lowest bass to the very top end of
the sonic spectrum.The JT-16 transformer can handle very high input levels
and provides a very linear phase behaviour because of low capacitance
problems due to it`s low ratio of 1:2. Further the low ratio of the
transformer forces the discrete OP Amp to provide most of the
amplification in the VSP-2. This " full throttle","pedal to the floor"
circuitry enables a unique, rich, full and characterful sound.
Controls and Features of the VSP-2
Gain control:
10-position Grayhill Rotaryswitch with 6db step increments. The full range
of the unit is 12-72db
Fine Gain control:
41 click Alps 0-6db fine gain trim
120Hz/off/80hz:
Switch that engages lowcut input filter 12db/oct at 80hz or 120 HZ.
Signal & Clip LED:
This LED either indicates Green for a reasonable signal level presence at
the output or red for close to Overload.
There is no inbetween orange state to indicate clipping clearly.
LED green:
- 6dBu to 19dBu at the output of the VSP-2 >>>> reasonable
output level
LED red:
+19dBu at the output of the VSP-2 >>>> close to clipping level
Note: The maximum output of the VSP-2 is +24dbU, the red clipping led
indicates the maximum capable input level of most common converters and
analog gear.
INSTRUMENT IN:
This is an unbalanced input for guitar, bass, samples, etc. This
unbalanced input goes directly to the TWIN OPA input without using any
circuitry inbetween. (Real DI Input)
Simply throw the toggle switch and you're off. The output is muted when
switching to avoid loud clicks in your monitors.
48V :
48V switches ramped phantom power.
-20dB:
Pads the input signal 20dB down. The pad does not affect the input
impedance of the VSP-2!
The pad circuitry is switched out of the Input stage completley when
disabled.
Please use the Pad for the gain Settings 12dB-18db-24dB and 30dB only!!!
The Pad does not effect the sound of your signal but settings like 54dB
with Pad engaged e.G. will worsen your signal to noise ratio.
PHASE:
Reverses the polarity of the pre amp's output.
The heart of the VSP-2 – the discrete OP AMP 1976
99% of all newer designs use an I-ntegrated C-ircuit for this job which
makes production easy and cost extensive.
Here's the big difference!
The Vertigo Sound 1976 is a fully DISCRETE OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
This very well thought out classic circuitry together with the Jensen JT16
transormer and Panasonic Coupling Caps plus the specific choice of
components of the OP Amp gives you a fresh, punchy precise colourful sound
without sounding dull or nasty at anytime.
