Description
The Whirlwind PRESSPOWER 2 is an active, 4 RU rackmount microphone feed distributor designed for use at press conferences and other live broadcast applications involving multiple microphones. This version is housed in a convenient rack carrying case.
The PRESSPOWER 2 features two mic/line inputs with individual gain controls, and 16 transformer-isolated outputs that are individually switchable for mic or line level operation. The unit includes a 20-segment LED level meter, an internal test tone generator, a built-in headphone monitor amp with volume control, high-pass filters, and phantom power. All controls are available with front panel access.
The PRESSPOWER 2 will operate on either 115/230 VAC power, 9V internal batteries, or with an external 12-36 VDC supply connected via the rear terminals.

The unit will automatically switch to DC backup power in the event of an AC power interruption.
