Preamplifiers

Preamplifiers are electronic components found in a wide range of audio equipment, including computer sound cards, USB microphones, DJ mixers, large-format consoles, and audio interfaces. Additionally, preamps can be independent pieces of outboard gear, some of which are very well-known and you’ve probably previously heard of them. The wonderful thing about them is that, even if you weren’t entirely aware of it, there’s a decent chance you’ve used one. Most likely, you have an audio interface, a microphone, and have used the microphone to record using the interface. That is the preamplifier’s single most significant application. Alternatively, if you play the guitar, your amplifier features a preamp section that receives the output signal from the guitar’s pickups first.
