TurtleAV JEF Dante-Enabled Microphone Preamp

JEF puts a low-noise mic preamp and onboard DSP right at the microphone, so a single balanced XLR input leaves the stage as clean two-channel Dante audio instead of a long analog run back to a rack. That is the model for boardrooms, stadiums, and broadcast positions where the mic has to live somewhere the console cannot, and remote gain control from Dante Controller means nobody has to walk back out to adjust it.

The small aluminum housing draws its power over PoE, with dual Dante ports (primary on 802.3at, secondary on 802.3af) so the unit can stay on the network if one link drops. Frequency response runs a flat 20 Hz to 20 kHz and dynamic range clears 110 dB, numbers that hold up next to a rack preamp despite the unit's size.
