Product Description

The M-1 mic preamps are among the finest mic preamps in the world. They provide the accuracy and transparency that is missing in other mic preamps. No matter what your application, they will provide superior sound quality. The world's best input transformer (Jensen JT-16-B), best op-amp (990 discrete op-amp) and the elimination of all capacitors from the signal path combine to provide the highest performance.

The M-1 Personal is a self contained single channel mic preamp. There are two meter options and the best Jensen output transformer (JT-11-BMQ) is also available as an option. The M-1 Personal cannot be expanded to have additional channels like the standard M-1 version.

Highlights:

  • JT-16-B Input Transformer
  • 990 Discrete Op-Amp - faster, quieter, more powerful and better sounding than typical monolithic op-amps
  • Elimination Of all coupling capacitors from the signal path - results in less degradation of the audio signal

Options:

  • VU-1 Very accurate and informative 20 segment LED meter card with separate peak LED for monitoring preamp output
  • PK-1 Peak LED metering only (not required if VU-1 is installed)
  • JT-11-BMQ output transformer
  • Pin 2 or Pin 3 high - can be ordered either way and internal jumpers make changes in the field easy.
