The mic pre and compressor are connected in series. The output mixer allows the user to simply mix the mic-pre and the compressor outputs. This mimics old-school fader blending of the compressed and uncompressed signals and can also be used to add a little “drive” if the input levels are turned up and the output levels are turned down. The mic-pre section features a switchable 20 dB pad, a low-cut filter, phase reversal and P48 phantom power. The maximum gain of the mic-pre is +60 dB, the minimum gain with pad activated is 0 dB. The high impedance Direct Input (DI) is compatible with balanced and unbalanced signals, which doubles as a convenient front panel spare input.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe FET compressor section features rotary controls for Attack Time, Release Time, and Compression Ratio, as well as a Stereo link switch. The F200 functions perfectly at line levels with the mic-pre gain turned down, so it can be used as a normal stereo compressor. You can still use some of the available gain and low cut filter for some creative madness.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEither the compressor gain reduction or the output level can be displayed through the VU-Meter. There is also a “Clip” LED for the mic-pre that turns on at +24 dBu output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe parts quality and build are first-rate. It provides professional performance and rather excellent specifications for all budgets. The F200 is easy to use, streamlines the work-flow plus has some rather cool creative potential and it just sounds better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fredenstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450673492071,"sku":"152998","price":919.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/fredenstein-f200_152998_1_01b56ac8-d861-40b4-baa1-97d3adc1272e.jpg?v=1787094023","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/fredenstein-f200-2-channel-microphone-preamp-compressor","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
