Transformer enhanced technology for superior sonic performance. Bringing science to sound.

The JensenTwin Servo 990 Mic Preamp is considered the world's finest mic preamp by audio experts. It's the ideal integration of advanced design software, hardware, engineering know-how, and carefully controlled 'golden ears' tests. It has earned high marks for sonic performance since its introduction in 1988.
 
The basic circuit was originally published as an application note by Jensen Transformers for their finest microphone input transformer, the JT-16-B. Each channel usestwoprecision 990C operational amplifier modules, developed and patented by Deane Jensen, to achieve one tenth the distortion and twice the bandwidth of a single stage design.
 
TheJensen Twin Servo 990mic preamp has a 19" wide mainframe rack-mount chassis (1.75"H x 19"W x 8"D) and can be ordered with 1 to 4 channels. Additional channels can be easily added later up to the total capacity of the mainframe.

The Highlights
- JT-16-B Input Transformer: Jensen's best mic input model
- Two 990 Discrete Op-Amps per channel: faster, quieter, more powerful and better sounding than typical monolithic op-amps
- Elimination of all coupling capacitors from the signal path results in less degradation of the audio signal
- JT-11-BMQ Output Transformer: Jensen's best line output transformer.
- Input Bias Current Compensation Circuitry And DC Servo Circuitry
- Eliminates signal degrading coupling capacitors
