Raven Labs PMB-II | | The PMB-II (Professional Master Blender) from Raven Labs provides the professional musician the ultimate device in blending together two separate signal sources. It can be used with an acoustic guitar or bass having a piezo pickup and soundhole microphone, a stereo instrument, two separate instruments or keyboards, or an instrument and drum machine, tape deck, etc. Of course, it also makes a great preamp for any single instrument. The PMB-II features 6dB more gain per channel than its predecessor (the PMB-1) as well as improved phantom power filtering.
Great care has been taken in the selection of components and impedances to insure crystal clarity, wide frequency response, low noise and minimum distortion. As well, the unit is packed with useful features.
The PMB-II can be powered with two nine-volt batteries, or a wall mounted A/C adapter (sold separately). One A/C adapter is capable of powering several models from Raven Labs.
Each unit comes with a 3 year guarantee against parts and workmanship. | Front Panel Features | Instrument Channel Input.
