General Description

The Rane MS 1 Mic Stage preamplifier provides the

answer when you need just one microphone input in an

otherwise line-level world. Give us a call to go from either a

dynamic, condenser or electret microphone to a line level

input with a minimum of noise, distortion, cost and hassle.

The MS 1 provides 48 V switchable Phantom Power with

indicator LED, continuous rotary Gain trim between 21.5 dB

and 60 dB, overload LED, and XLR balanced Input & Output

connectors. A Phase Invert switch and high-current cross-

coupled output line drivers round out the features.

The MS 1 utilizes one of the finest ultra low noise

amplifier designs available. Featuring a true differential input

with high common-mode rejection, use of the MS 1 guaran-

tees performance usually found only in mixing consoles

costing thousands of times as much. Of course, for all of that

extra money you receive a proportional increase in KPSI

(knobs per square inch).

MS 1 MICROPHONE STAGE Block Diagram Application Information Uses and applications for the MS 1 should be obvious. But then again, its obvious to us our taxes are too high and nothing is being done about that. With this in mind, perhaps a few words on using the MS 1 might not be wasted. BALANCED USE The MS 1 provides a true cross-coupled balanced Output. This is equivalent to an electronic simulation of a transformer output. Rane follows the AES standard of pin 2 = hot.
