Product Description
The TUBE-TECH MEC 1A Recording Channel is a one
channel recording unit, featuring a microphone
preamplifier equalizer and compressor. The shelving and
the bell filters are designed around a tube operational
amplifier.
Both Input and Output are balanced and have fully
floating transformers with a static screen. The power
supply and the sidechain circuit is based on solid state
circuitry. With the exception of the output stage all
DC voltages are stabilised.
