Sound Skulptor MP512

Almost new example, still under warranty. The MP512 is based on one discrete Op-Amp, one Cinemag input transformer and one Cinemag output transformer.

It delivers what is called the "LA" sound, popularised by the famous American consoles of the 70's : the punchy midrange and tight bass tone of the iron. This MP512 is great on drums, electric instruments and generally all close miked sources.

Just install it in your API* compatible LunchboxTM rack and start recording.

Highlights

• • Discrete Op-Amp (DOA) pinout compatible with the API* 2520
  • Original Cinemag (Reichenbach) transformers on input and output
  • 70 dB of gain
  • Variable output pad for those who like to drive it hot
  • Fet DI input, relay switched, the signal passes through the input transformer
  • Signal/Clip LED monitors signal with full wave rectifier
  • All low level signals switched by relays
  • Golden contacts on relays and switches
  • High grade components throughout
  • High grade double sided PCB with plated holes
  • Available assembled or as a full kit (everything included)

Controls

1 Output Pad: This potentiometer attenuates the output signal, after the output transformer.

2 Signal/Clip LED: Flashes green when a signal is present and turns red 3 dB before clipping

3 Gain: In combination with the gain switch, this potentiometer sets the total gain between 0 and +70dB.

4 Gain switch: Center and right positions set respectively medium and high gain while left position adds a -20dB pad on the input.

5 Polarity Sets the polarity (phase) of the output signal. Center is a mute

6 Sends phantom power to the microphone

7 High impedance input (> 1 megohm) for instruments. The instrument signal goes through both transformers.
