That is a mediocre TOI amplifier for a "line driver" or
Most Beverages don't require a preamp of any type, in my estimation. The
shorter ones may need a bit of a boost but those over 500 ft seem to do
quite nicely on their own most of the time. If you do believe that some
amplification is necessary then 6-10 db is about all that you should
