Description

Like the updated m801mk2, our freshly redesigned m201mk2 provides a full serving of our unique brand of audio performance. It delivers massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character.

The fully balanced signal path has been refined, resulting in incredible dynamic range. A new power supply design provides the lowest noise performance we have ever achieved. This all means the new m201mk2 will translate a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which captures the essential character of the music being recorded.
Proudly covered by our 20 year EON transferable warranty.

Remarkable, transparent, bright, trivial to use, excellent build quality. What more could you ask for? The LEDs associated with the buttons (48V, Phase, -20dB, and Ribbon Mic) are ultra-readable, even in full light. The 2 buttons allowing gain adjustment are notched, and the coupling between the channels is perfect (within 0.1 dB).

Grace Design true to its reputation, no bad surprises. Obviously nearly 2000 for 2 preamps, it's not cheap, but the quality is there.
