Part of the TICA® series, the PRE2 is a compact two-channel line and mic mixer. Ideal for smaller installations, it allows you to mix stereo audio from any media source with a microphone for announcements.
The PRE2 is incredibly easy to use with two simple volume control knobs, with signal presence and clip indicators.
The built-in audio ducking function automatically reduces the music level from the stereo line input when an announcement is being made. Connect a wired remote for simple master volume control. Dip switches let you configure it to work in stereo or mono mode.
Its tiny form factor (106 × 44 × 222 mm) and included mounting plates allow it to be installed discreetly behind screens or under tables. Alternatively, it fits into a ¼ 19-inch rack. Use the optional rack tray to slot up to four TICA® series products alongside each other and build a system to your exact requirements, using minimal rack space.
The PRE2 uses an external 24 V power supply. Terminal block connections for the analogue inputs and outputs make wiring easy.
