Geoff Daking and Company is to launch the Mic Pre 500 single-channel microphone/instrument preamplifier module at the AES Convention in San Francisco. Derived from the company’s Mic Pre One freestanding unit, the Mic Pre 500 is designed for installation in 500 Series format equipment. The new unit features switchable phase, 20dB mic input pad, +48V phantom power, and a selectable quarter-inch line/hi-z instrument input.
Like the Mic-Pre One, the Mic Pre 500 shares the gain structure and class-A, discrete transistor circuitry design of Daking’s Mic Pre IV. The front panel controls include a variable high-pass filter (0-200Hz) as well as continuously variable input gain. It also includes an eight-segment tri-colour LED meter with simultaneous vu and peak display.
