some of its main features:
•
A high quality microphone or instrument pre-amplifier using discrete transistor and tube gain cells.
•
On board Limiter for leveling the output is useful in recording and live sound applications.
•
The total amount of harmonic overtones or “warmth” can be controlled using the Saturation control.
•
An Input Gain control is included to maximize the overall input gain stage, handling levels from micro-
phones or instruments.
•
A pre-set “sweetening” equalization curve can be added using the Enhance switch.
•
Positive or negative phase can be selected using the Phase switch.
•
The addition of an Analog VU meter makes it easy to read the Output Level.

48-volt phantom power for powering condenser microphones is available by pressing the LED, backlit,
48-Volt push switch located on the front panel.
•
S/PDIF output via an internal, high quality A-to-D (analog-to-digital) converter sends 24-bit digital audio to
hard disk recorders via the rear panel RCA connector.
•
Sample rate selection via the front panel, backlit switch allows 48 or 96K sample rates.
•
Six segment LED Input VU meter displays the level after the Gain control.
•
Convenient 1/4-inch insert points are included for external signal processing.
•
Balanced XLR microphone input and 1/4-inch balanced line input connectors allow easy hook up of mics
or instruments.
