DACS Micamp 2 channel preamp

DACS MicAmp two-channel microphone preamplifier

Designed and built in the UK by DACS, the MicAmp is a low-noise, low-distortion microphone preamp designed for clean and transparent recording. Each channel has stepped gain from 20 to 62dB, an additional 0–10dB trim, selectable 30Hz/80Hz bass roll-off and polarity reverse. There are separate phantom and non-phantom XLR inputs for each channel, with balanced XLR outputs.

A listening session published on Gearspace described it as follows (this is for the MicAmp 2, but it give a good idea of the quality of the unit):

“The Clarity offered a "presence" and detail captured by none of the other mic pres. At one point on listening back to the drum tracks recorded to RADAR through the Clarity MicAmp, I could even make out the sound of individual snares on the snare drum! Stereo recordings are also an area where the design of the Clarity reveals itself. We've been monitoring on a pair of Dynaudio Air 15s, and through them the imagery and depth of detail of the Clarity shines. The Clarity also rose to the top of the pack in acoustic guitar sessions with Schoeps CMC6-MK4, and on vocals it provides a sound that is at once transparent and yet in your face.”

The unit is in good used cosmetic condition, with normal marks from rack mounting and some light signs of use. The interior is very clean and the photos show the separate channel boards used in this original version.

The unit has been tested and is working correctly. It will be carefully packed and shipped fully insured. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
