at INR 2,19,000, the Neumann V 402 preamplifier will be available in
German studio specialist Neumann.Berlin has announced the launch of the V402, a
state-of-the-art microphone preamplifier with integrated headphone monitoring.
The V402 is Neumann’s first-ever stand-alone microphone preamp – although the
company has created several generations of top-quality preamp modules for its
mixing consoles, such as the now legendary V 476 B of the 1980s. Like its
predecessors, the V 402 preamplifier is conceived as the perfect complement to
all Neumann and other high-class studio microphones.
The V
402 is a dual channel microphone preamplifier carefully designed to maintain
the sonic integrity of the original signal. Its unique transformer less
circuitry amplifies the microphone signal without unwanted coloration or sonic
artefacts, such as noise and distortion. While this is also often claimed for
simple preamps such as those in audio interfaces, the V 402 is built to much
higher standards.
The V
402 is equipped with a studio grade headphone amplifier ensuring uncompromised
monitoring quality at the recording stage. Independent volume controls for each
channel allow to dial in a latency-free monitoring mix without affecting the
recorded signal.

As a
true Neumann product, the V 402 is characterized by exacting attention to every
detail. For example, the DI input is also designed for sonic purity. Its novel
high-impedance input stage captures the sound of electric guitars and basses as
well as other instruments with no loss of detail and free from audible noise.
Its switchable high pass removes rumble and pops very effectively without signal
degradation.
A 20-dB
pad allows the V 402 to be used with high-level sources up to 28 dBu without
distortion.
The V 402 comes in a 2U 19” rack enclosure measuring 89 mm x 483 mm x 242 mm.
