The RTS 2 pairs the Ribbon Transducer with a dedicated all-discrete class A preamp built into an endpin jack for convenient installation. The voicing of this preamp is slightly warmer than that of the Ribbon Transducer System. The RTS 2 is recommended for players who simply want the Ribbon Transducer and an onboard preamp in an easy-to-install, plug-and-play package.

The Ribbon Transducer preamp utilizes purist audiophile circuitry that is usually reserved for the finest mic preamps and recording desks in the world. With its 100% discrete circuitry, pure Class A operation, no negative feedback, hand selected input FET and minimalist signal path, and includes a small, removable soundhole-mounted volume control for added convenience and versatility. The RT Preamp is ghostly quiet and faithfully amplifies the glorious sound and dynamics of the Ribbon Transducer.
