Title: Alembic IN-2 info
Post by: lothartu on July 03, 2004, 09:12:22 PM

I keep hearing about this piece of gear called an IN-2.  From what I gather it's an old Alembic preamp that they haven't made in a long time.
 
So for those lucky few that own/owned one...
 
- What is it exactly?
- What makes it special?
 
Would someone be so kind as to post a pic or two of one? (front/back would be nice)
 
ty in advance

The IN-2 is not a preamp, but a power supply, or perhaps more properly, an Input Module.  They are quite rare and feature the following:
 
- 18V power supply for Series instruments
 
- two stereo channels with four phone jack outputs each
 
- low impedance direct outs for each channel
 
- mode switch for selecting stereo, mono, channel A or channel B
 
As for what makes it special; it has more functionality than a DS-5R.

And now blatantly asking the obvious: Why aren't they built anymore?
