General Description
The Rane MS1S Mic Stage preamplifier provides the answer when you need
just one microphone input in an otherwise line-level world. Give us a call to
go from either a dynamic, condenser or electret microphone to a line-level
input with a minimum of noise, distortion, cost and hassle.
The MS1S provides 48 V switchable Phantom Power with an indicator
LED, continuous rotary Gain trim between 15 dB and 60 dB, Signal/Over-
load LED, and XLR balanced Input & Output connectors. A Polarity switch
and high-current cross-coupled output line driver round out the features.
The MS1S utilizes one of the finest ultra low noise amplifier designs
available. Featuring a true differential input with high common-mode rejec-
tion, use of the MS1S guarantees performance usually found only in mixing
consoles costing thousands of times as much. Of course, for all of that extra
money you receive a proportional increase in KPSI (knobs per square inch).
The MS1S replaced the MS 1B Mic Stage with a new internal universal
power supply. The width increases by one inch, all other features are the same.
