sE Electronics DM2 TNT - Active Inline Preamp with Switchable Gain (Black)

sE Electronics DM2 TNT – Active Inline Preamp with Switchable Gain (Black)

The sE Electronics DM2 TNT is an ultra-compact active inline preamp that redefines clean gain for dynamic and ribbon microphones. Based on the “DYNAMITE” technology of the DM1 and DM2, it offers two selectable gain levels (+15 dB or +30 dB) and eight impedance settings (50 Ω to 10 MΩ) to perfectly match any capsule without overloading the signal. With exceptional headroom , it handles distortion-free outputs up to 805 Vp-p (~10,000 W), and its Class A circuitry and high-quality FETs keep the signal intact and free of coloration.

Main features

• Switchable gain: +15 dB or +30 dB clean boost.
• Ultra-high input impedance: Adjustable in eight steps from 50 Ω to 10 MΩ.
• Frequency range: 10 Hz – 120 kHz (–0.3 dB) for unlimited pickup.
• Massive Headroom: Withstands peaks up to 805 Vp-p without distortion.
• Integrated attenuation pad: –15 dB / –30 dB to control excessive signals.
• Three-position ground-lift: “On+” eliminates hum, buzz, and RF simultaneously.
• ¼″ lockable connector: Prevents accidental disconnections in high-speed scenarios.
• Dedicated Class A Buffer: Low impedance XLR output for lossless signal.
• Inline metal chassis: Robust construction, compact form factor (Ø 19 × 96 mm) and light weight (80 g).

User benefits

• Faithful reproduction: Preserves the original character of pickups, dynamics and ribbon without degrading the signal.
• Total Flexibility: Adjustable impedance and gain to optimize any microphone.
• Portable solution: Pocket size to always carry it in your cable case.
• Noise reduction: Ground-lift “On+” eliminates interference and ground loops.

Use cases

• Direct connection of dynamic and ribbon microphones to interfaces or mixers without the need for extra cables.
• Recording and reinforcement of guitars, basses and keyboards with high output.
• Streaming and mobile production where space and silence are critical.
• Live environments with in-ear monitors and demanding PA.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it need phantom power? Yes, it requires 48V phantom power to operate properly.
• Is it compatible with condensers? No; it's optimized for dynamic and passive ribbon microphones, not for microphones that already require phantom power.
• How do I activate the pad? Press and hold the recessed switch to select –15 dB or –30 dB.
• What does “On+” do? In addition to lifting the ground, it attenuates radio frequency interference.
