The SSM2019 is a latest generation audio preamplifier, combining SSM preamplifier design expertise with advanced processing. The result is excellent audio performance from a monolithic device, requiring only one external gain set resistor or potentiometer. The SSM2019 is further enhanced by unity gain stability. Key specifications include ultralow noise (1.5 dB noise figure) and THD (<0.01% at G = 100), complemented by wide bandwidth and high slew rate. Applications for this low-cost device include microphone preamplifiers and bus summing amplifiers in professional and consumer audio equipment, sonar, and other applications requiring a low noise instrumentation amplifier with high gain capability.
