About Whirlwind DA-2M

The Whirlwind DA-2M is professional quality two channel analog audio distribution amplifier which accepts either mic or line level inputs There are eight electronically balanced XLR line level outputs with individual volume controls and clip indicators. The audio performance is of the highest quality, making it an excellent value. Great care was taken in the design so that the DA-2M can fulfill any distribution requirement, from broadcast audio feeds to loudspeaker audio input distribution.

Inputs feature Neutrik combo 1/4" TRS/XLR connectors, mic/line level input switches, variable input gain controls, low cut switches for reducing low frequency rumble or wind noise, four segment headroom indicators and 48 V phantom power that is applied to the XLR in mic mode and turned off when the input is used in line mode. The front panel COMBINE switch converts the DA-2M from two 1x4 distribution amps to a 2x8 distribution amp with the two inputs combining to feed all eight outputs. This provides the capability of having both a line and a mic input simultaneously. A headphone circuit allows signal monitoring of each input in mono or listening to both input channels in a stereo mode.
