The NTMB-918 is a 3-band preamp and tone control that can operate on either 1 or 2 9V batteries. It has independent bass, mid, and treble controls with a very low noise floor and wide boost/cut range. The mid control has switchable frequencies of 250Hz, 500Hz, or 800Hz. It draws under 1mA of current, allowing over 1 month of use from a single battery or over 3 weeks from two batteries.

The NTMB is a tone control preamp with fully independent Bass, Mid and Treble controls with very low noise and wide boost/cut range. It consists of 2 prewired modules for ease of installation. The main module (NTMB) is 2/3 the size of a 9 volt battery. The second module (NTMB3) is 1/3 smaller. The sound is very clear and transparent. Distortion is well below 0.001%. This preamp can be used with either 1 - 9 volt battery ( 9 volt operation) or 2 - 9 volt batteries (18 volt operation) which yields 6 dB extra headroom. In 9 volt operation the NTMB-918 uses approximately 750 microamperes of current from 1 - 9 volt battery. This means 1 month of continuous duty or more than 6 months of average usage. In 18 volt operation the NTMB-918 uses approximately 1000 microamperes of current from 2 - 9 volt batteries. This means more than 3 weeks of continuous duty or more than 4 months of average usage. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 18 volt SUPPLY VOLTAGE OR EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES!
