Developed through collaboration between Sound Techniques and Warm Audio, it brings the historic console design into a modern stereo recording format. The circuit was designed by Geoff Frost, whose work helped establish the character of the original consoles. Jude preserves the architecture responsible for the distinctive depth, punch, and musical response associated with classic British recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"iframe-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yI63DFfcoVM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Channel Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JUDE-MP2 provides two independent microphone preamp channels for stereo recording and multi-microphone applications. Each channel uses the dual-discrete 3035 Class-A amplifier design and provides variable gain according to its selected impedance setting. This configuration makes the unit suitable for stereo recording techniques as well as tracking multiple sources simultaneously. It is particularly useful for stereo instruments, drum overheads, ensembles, and other applications requiring two matched recording paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZ-Match Impedance Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach channel incorporates a 9-position Z-Match control derived from the original Sound Techniques impedance-matching design. The circuit changes the interaction between the connected microphone and preamp, allowing engineers to explore different tonal responses. Available microphone impedance settings include 60Ω, 200Ω, and 1.5KΩ. This flexibility allows the preamp to work creatively with a wide range of vintage and modern microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Transformer Stages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JUDE-MP2 uses custom-wound CineMag transformers in both the input and output stages. Its input transformers provide three impedance configurations, while the output transformers use a high-purity nickel design. These transformer stages complement the discrete Class-A circuitry and contribute to the unit's overall sonic character. Wima and Nichicon audio-grade capacitors and carbon resistors are also selected as part of the circuit implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Recording Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JUDE-MP2 is designed for engineers and producers who want classic console-style character across two recording channels. Its combination of variable impedance, transformer coupling, Class-A amplification, and flexible I\/O makes it suitable for vocals, guitars, pianos, drums, stereo overheads, and other sources. Independent channel operation provides flexibility for both stereo and dual-mono recording setups. Phantom power, polarity switching, and line-level switching further support common professional studio workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-Channel Console Microphone Preamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sound Techniques A-Range Console Preamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-Discrete 3035 Class-A, Per Channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 to 76 dB per Channel at 40Ω Source Impedance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60Ω, 200Ω, 1.5KΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-Position Z-Match, Per Channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Transformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom-Wound 3-Impedance CineMag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Transformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom-Wound High-Purity Nickel CineMag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nichicon Audio Grade and Wima\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Input Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e -128 dBu, A-Weighted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e -99 dBu, A-Weighted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz to 25 kHz, ±2 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhantom Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 in.
