- Total amplification range: 12-72db
- Unbalanced input for bass, guitar and synthesizer
- Basic gain selection: 10-position Grayhill rotary switch in 6db steps
- Fine gain adjustment: 41-step Alps potentiometer 0-6dB
The VSP-2 is Vertigo Sound’s third great success and defines a new standard in microphone preamplification.
The heart of the VSP-2 is Vertigo Sound’s 100% discrete Twin Op Amp “1976”.
The combination of this discrete dual operational amplifier and Cinemag’s outstanding CMMI-2C input transformer produces a uniquely warm and articulate sound.
The low 1:2 ratio of the input transformer reduces capacitance and phase problems.
The amplification of 12 to 76dB is realized solely by the operational amplifier.
This circuit design delivers the unique characterful and defined sound typical of the VSP-2.
- INSTRUMENT IN: Unbalanced input for bass, guitar and synthesizer.
The signal is now applied directly to the input of the ” TWIN OPA” without passing through any other amplifiers.
When the Instrument In/ Mic Input switch is activated, the output of the VSP-2 is briefly “muted” to avoid switching noises at the output - 48V: Activation of phantom power with ramp circuit
- -20dB: Input attenuation by 20dB.
The input attenuation does not change the input impedance of the microphone inputs.
When deactivated, this attenuator is bypassed completely.
Note: Use of the pad is only recommended for gains of 12dB-18db-24dB and 30dB.
Use at switch settings above 30dB leads to increased noise. - PHASE: Phase rotation of the VSP-2 outputs
- Basic gain selection: 10-position Grayhill rotary switch in 6db steps
- Total amplification range: 12-72db
- Fine gain adjustment: 41-step Alps potentiometer 0-6dB
- 120Hz/off/80hz: 2-stage high-pass filter
- Signal & Clip LED: This LED indicates level (green -6dBu) as well as approaching clipping (red +19dBu) at the output.
- LED green: – 6dBu to 19dBu at the output of the VSP2s
- LED red: There is a risk of overload at the output of the VSP2
- Note: The maximum output level of the VSP-2 is 24dBu, the lighting up warns of clipping on downstream devices such as A/D converters etc.
- 2-channel microphone preamplifier with 1.5K input impedance

1976 FLASHBACK
Most modern microphone preamplifiers use an integrated circuit (IC) here.
The use of such IC components saves costs in development and production.
Here is the fundamental difference:
A fully discrete amplifier module!
Vertigo Sounds “OPA 1976”.
This classic circuit concept in combination with Cinemag CMMI-2C transformers and Panasonic coupling capacitors is the basis for the outstanding sound quality of the VSP-2.
