MPA-201 Dual Channel Class A Mic Preamplifier

The Miktek™ MPA-201 dual channel, Class A microphone preamplifier provides a pristine signal path with a sweet and linear response that will please the most sophisticated listeners. With 70 dB of gain, 48-volt phantom power and variable impedance selector, the Miktek MPA-201 will highlight and enhance the sound of most any microphone. Each channel boasts a large analog VU meter that can be switched from input to output, plus an LED Peak output meter, making it easy to set a good level. This innovative preamplifier design also features a Phase switch and variable High Pass Filter, which allows you to reduce unwanted low frequencies in your recording and help reduce stage rumble in live sound applications. The MPA-201 preamplifier features discrete transistors and six Miktek custom transformers, which produce a quality sound you would normally expect only from a vintage piece. It features Direct Inputs on each channel, through a dedicated transformer, for recording instruments like guitar, bass and keyboards. Do you like to record your guitar or bass with an effects pod or plug-ins? Plug in to the MPA-201 first to capture that big studio sound that’s far beyond what’s possible with a standard audio interface. The MPA-201 has a unique “2X” feature on the Direct Input which routes the output of the line transformer into the input of the mic input transformer, giving you four different impedance loaded tone contours. Perfect for adding a world-class signal path in front of your digital recordings, the Miktek MPA-201 is a must for any serious recordist.
