Mic Modeling Preamp
The Roland MMP-2 is a unique two-channel mic preamp with COSM Mic
Modeling, four bands of fully parametric EQ, modeled tube compression, an
enhancer and de-esser—plus ultra-intuitive control software for Mac or PC,
superb-quality analog circuits, and 24-bit/96kHz A/D conversion. You can
even download new effect plug-ins via USB, making the MMP-2 an indis-
pensable tool for recording microphones and acoustic instruments. Uses the
same carefully selected analog circuits and components as the mic preamps
used in Roland’s VS-2480.
COSM Mic Modeling
and DSP Effects

vintage and high-end studio microphones
◆ Four bands of fully parametric EQ
◆ Modeled tube compression,enhancer and
de-esser effects are also provided
Built-In USB Port
◆ Connect to a Mac or PC and use the bun-
dled control software to draw EQ curves or
set compressors using a graphic interface
◆ Download effects such as noise suppressor,
hum canceller,feedback eliminator and
modeled tape saturation
Inputs and Outputs
◆ Analog I/O includes two balanced XLR /
1/4˝ TRS combo mic inputs with phantom
power and two XLR line outputs
◆ Coaxial digital input, plus coaxial S/PDIF
and AES/EBU (XLR) digital outputs

8000ms) as well as switchable Knee curves
(soft/hard) and Level control (±24dB)
◆ AutoGain function automatically makes up
for any level lost during compression

creating and recording new music right out of the box.
◆ Tw o XLR-based, phantom-powered mic
inputs with analog inserts that allow hard-
ware devices (compressors,etc.) to be
placed into the recording signal chain.
◆ Tw o line-level inputs on balanced 1/4˝ TRS
jacks are switchable to guitar-level for direct
instrument recording.
◆ Adjustable zero-latency direct monitoring
provides a sonically pure reference point
before entering DAW processing.
◆ Tw o line-level outputs as well as headphone
output with level control
◆ 16 channels of MIDI I/O for use with
synthesizers and other MIDI equipment.
◆ Self-powered via USB making it perfect for
location recording based around laptop
computers as well as studio recording
◆ Mac and Windows compatible,ASIO,
WDM, GSIF and Apple Core Audio (OS X)
drivers turn any USB-equipped computer
into a powerful audio recording system.
