Saturday October 11, 2003. 03:31 PM | Computer Hardware > Apogee Electronics |
The Mini-MP 2-channel Analog Mic-pre, is Apogee's latest addition to their Mini-Series.
Featured in the Mini-MP are two, low distortion, ultra-fast, high-gain pre-amps that offer a full 70 dB of gain. Input/output options on the Mini-MP are strong and flexible. The phantom powered microphone inputs are capable of handling level of up to +18dB and the auto select High-Z inputs are a great feature for instruments and consumer level equipment are ideal for giving direct guitars, basses and keyboards that warm analog sound.
On the output side Mini-MP uses Apogee's newly developed electronically balanced line drivers, which simulate true transformer behavior and allow for perfect symmetry when used in balanced mode and no increased distortion when used unbalanced.
Other useful Mini-MP features include Middle-Side Mode, great for recording audio using an M-S configured mike setup, an 80 hZ High-pass filter, and a phase switch.
Mini-MP card at a glance:
- Two-channel microphone preamplifier with phantom power and HI-Z instrument inputs
- Low distortion pre-amps with 75dB of gain. THD+N: –105 dB at unity, -85 dB at 60 dB of gain
- Ultra-linear gain control
- Mid-Side (M-S) feature
- 80 Hz Hi Pass filter with a roll off of +18dB/oct
- Low power consumption allowing the use of several types of batteries and third party power packs
Availability: November 2003 - MSRP: $995
