Description
 
The AEA RPQ503 is a 500 Series preamp that delivers the same rich, natural sound as the RPQ3, now in a compact format. With ultra-high input impedance, up to 85dB of clean gain, and an expanded EQ section, it provides exceptional clarity, detail, and flexibility for any recording setup.

AEA RPQ503 Product Features:

  • 1-Space 500-series preamp
  • AEA Gen 3 preamp circuitry
  • Ultra-high 68KO input impedance (phantom power off)
  • 7 to 85 dB of gain
  • LF/HF sweepable frequency
  • EQ boost/cut, +/-20 dB
  • EQ in/out switching; center detents on EQ gain pots
  • +48V phantom
  • Polarity switch
  • Mic/line input switching (line input bypasses mic pre)

The RPQ503 is the next evolution in AEA’s trusted lineage of high-impedance, high-gain preamplifiers.

Based on the 3rd Generation circuit design of our celebrated RPQ3, the RPQ503 brings the same rich and natural sound to the 500 Series Format. Featuring a powerful combination of ultra-low noise, low distortion op-amps, ultra-high 68KΩ input impedance, and 85dB of clean gain, the RPQ503 delivers exceptional clarity and detail. More than just a preamp, the RPQ503 also includes the expanded EQ section of the RPQ3, with boost and cut controls for both low and high end, on custom, compact, dual concentric potentiometers.

At once open and transparent but equally responsive and dynamic, the RPQ503 is a versatile tool for the front end of any signal path.
