Charter Oak AcousticsMPA-1 Dual Channel Microphone Preamp
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MPA-1 is a dual-channel microphone preamp that gives an engineer control over how clean or colored the signal becomes. Transformerless input circuitry is paired with a transformer-balanced output, while separate input and output gain controls move from an ultra-clean, transparent result toward coloration from the output stage and Cinemag output transformer. Variable high-pass and low-pass filters, a -6 dB pad, +48VDC phantom power, and phase reverse provide further control at the preamp stage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Shaping a microphone signal from ultra-clean transparency toward output-stage and Cinemag transformer coloration.
- Managing microphone signals with filtering, pad, phantom power, and phase-reverse controls at the preamp.
