High Fidelity 2 Channel Microphone Preamp

2-channel preamp featuring Grace Designs renowned audiophile transparency. The Grace Design m201 Microphone Preamp delivers unmatched audio performance, with massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The signal path has been hot-rodded to be fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in a wider dynamic range, while high-current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. The rackmountable m201 mic preamp translates a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded. A ribbon mic mode is now included, which shifts the gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, bypassing the decoupling capacitors and optimizing the input impedance. Each channel has an 'input mode' rotary switch which selects between a standard 48V phantom input, ribbon mic mode, a front panel DI input or optional DPA high voltage inputs (130V or 190V). Included is a M + S (mid side) decoder circuitry with a built-in width control. The front panel width control is wired with a precision 12 position rotary switch which provides a range from 100% mid (mono) to 30% mid / 70% side. The ultra-precision summing and difference amplifiers feed a set of dedicated outputs, which allows simultaneous recording of discrete mid and side signals as well as the stereo matrix. The front panel mounted HI-Z inputs are designed to accommodate a wide variety of high impedance input
