Input Conditioning
Themicrophonepreamplierprovides6to60dBofcleangain,
delivered from our classic hybrid discrete class-A transistor
and integrated circuit design. 48V phantom power and an input
impedance of >2k5 Ohms ensure that you will get the most from
your microphones.
Two features that should be very useful during tracking are
availableoneitherthemicrophonepreamplierorlineinput
paths(ifusingboutiqueexternalmicrophonepreampliers).
Thesearethe75Hzhighpasslterandpolarityreverse.
The HPF enables you to remove any rumble or subsonic noise
and polarity invert provides alignment of sources (for example
snare top and snare bottom). These features are tied to the mic/
line path and are not available on the DAW input – however
these are easily performed ‘in the box’ during mixing.
