a pristine signal path with a sweet and linear response that will please the most

sophisticated listeners. With 70 dB of gain, 48-volt phantom power and variable

any microphone. Each channel boasts a large analog VU meter that can be switched

from input to output, plus an LED Peak output meter, making it easy to set a good

level. e MPA-201 also features a Phase switch and variable High Pass Filter,

which allows you to reduce unwanted low frequencies in your recording and help

guitar or bass with an eﬀects pod or plug-ins? Plug in to the MPA-201 ﬁrst to

audio interface. Perfect for adding a world-class signal path in front of your digital

recordings, the MPA-201 is a must for any serious recordist.
