Grace Design M201 2-Channel High Voltage Microphone Preamlifier with M/S Matrix
During its 12 years in production, the model 201 mic preamplifier has found its way into countless recording facilities around the world, while gathering a considerable amount of critical acclaim along the way. Now this classic two channel mic preamplifier has been completely redesigned and transformed into the m201.
The new m201 delivers unmatched audio performance, with massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The signal path has been hot-rodded to be fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in a wider dynamic range, while new high-current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. The m201 translates a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded.
