The TPS II is a two-channel high performance preamplifier coupled with V3 (Variable Valve Voicing) functionality. It also features variable input impedance that allows users to dial in and match any microphone type from large condensers to ribbon microphones.

The V3 feature provides optimized reference points to begin the recording process for guitars, bass guitars, synthesizers, acoustic instruments, percussion, vocals and more. The TPS II displays level monitoring with two analog meters as well as two newly added input monitoring LED meters.

The TPS II can accept +20dB peaks while maintaining over 120dB dynamic range, quiet performance and incredibly low distortion. The OPL (Output Protection Limiting) feature is used to control overshoots and normalize levels before clipping occurs. The unit also functions as a direct box, with impedance matching and preamplification for instrument or line-level sources. High-Z instruments or balanced microphone signals can be input through front and rear panel jacks.

Q: 9. with the 1.4 aperture will a shutter speed of 1/8000 be fast enough to shoot outdoors in sunlight without being blown out... seeing as how you cant attach any filters to it?

A: You don't mention an ISO setting, but based on the sunny 16 rule (shutter speed = the inverse of the ISO setting at f/16 for a typical sunlit scene), an ISO speed seven stops slower than 8000, or about 64, would yield the nominally correct exposure at your specified settings of f/1.4 and 1/8000 second. Do you really need the lens wide open? Otherwise you could also stop down (this lens goes to f/16).

Q: 10. Will this work with an eos t6i?

A: Thank you for your interest in Sigma products. The 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon is compatible with the Canon T6i.
