With legendary Midas sound in a modular package, you can customize your signal chain however you like. The 502 preamp gives you premium Midas sound where you want it.

High Input Levels Without Distortion

The 502 preamp's input stage handles up to +24dBu signal levels without a pad, allowing you to capture loud sources without distortion. Even when pushed hard, the 502 maintains its clear, smooth character courtesy of Midas' signature soft clipping. The preamp's robust design takes on a new dimension when driven into overload.

Twin Balanced Outputs

With independent main and auxiliary outputs, the 502 gives you flexibility in signal routing. Send the main out to your mix bus while using the aux out for recording or broadcast feeds. The electronically balanced outputs deliver pristine signal integrity even at long cable lengths. Put the 502's twin outputs to work driving multiple signal paths.
