SCA T15-500 Series Microphone Preamplifier Module
This is the 500 series module only! It will not work in any of the SCA chassis! There is an SCA only version of the T15 available as well in the Classic series section. The 500 Series kits require voltage measurement and calibration which can be easier with the use of a 500 series extender kit.

Not available as a DIY kit
The SCA T15 is a transformerless microphone preamplifier designed around the excellent THAT Corporation 1512 and 1646 ICs. These state-of-the-art chips enable the performance of the T15 to approach that of sophisticated discrete and hybrid designs (such as the C84) while using far fewer components. While it does not have the same headroom and output drive capability as the C84, the T15 has similar noise and distortion specifications and excels in the same applications. only available as a fully assembled mic preamp module.
FEATURES
High Gain
The T15 can provide 70dB of gain, more than enough gain for most applications, especially with modern high-output condenser microphones.
Stepped Gain Control
A 12 position Grayhill switch provides accurate and repeatable gain settings in 5dB steps from 15dB to 70dB.
Gain Trim
Since 5dB is often too big a gain step, the T15 also has a gain trim control which provides up to 6dB of cut at any gain setting. This allows very fine adjustment of gain between steps. This control can also be configured as a full fader.
Phase Reverse
Inverts the signal phase.
Phantom Switch
Slow-rise phantom power minimizes pops and thumps.
Neutrik Connectors
High quality PC mount connectors eliminate cabling and ease assembly.
Dual DC Servos
Similar to the C84, the T15 employs two DC servo circuits.
