Preliminary information -
Preamplifier channel ... It fully respects the audio quality of your high fidelity recorder without hiding anything . It is probably for this reason that it took us forever to design this preamplifier! But finally, there it is! Our new is an extremely powerful recording tool
suitable for any recording application. We started by selecting our famous
transformerless mic preamplifier circuit: it has proven itself time and time again. Dynamic reserve, detail, clarity, musicality - everything is there! You also have our
exclusive mode for your ribbon microphones , a 75 Hz high-pass filter and a switchable 48 V phantom power.
The 3-band corrector is based on a unique stage architecture with
parallel tuning , which minimizes circuits and offers
natural and musical frequency correction on all frequencies. You have a
fully parametric midrange correction, and
Baxendall and bell
type filters on the
high and low frequency bands.
The compression circuit uses an
optical attenuator - the purest and most reliable way to manage gain. It allows a wide range of attenuation ranging from deep compressions, while respecting the
transparency and
sound neutrality of the input signal. The best tool for managing the dynamics of your signals and transmitting a signal at
a perfectly homogeneous , clear, intact level which retains all its
lively sound .
The full input / output possibilities allow you to access the equalization / compression sections independently of the others. Also note that the position of the equalization / compression circuit in the signal path is switchable. Compressor settings can be linked for stereo applications, and the 10-segment output level and gain reduction meters let you know instantly where you are. That's it - we created it. The m103: a preamplifier by name, an extremely powerful tool by design. Take a look at the details.
