| MPE-200 DESCRIPTION |
|
Dual-channel Mic Preamp Controllable by MIDI The MPE-200 is the first product in the new Element 78 line of Class A solid state signal processing units from Summit Audio. The MPE-200 features two channels of microphone preamp and two channels of parametric EQ, all discrete class A transformer coupled, designed by Summit Audio with Mr. Rupert Neve. Add to the incredible sound of these preamps and EQ's the versatility, precision, and control of a digital interface, and the vision of Element 78 is realized: a no-compromise analog signal path combined with an easy-to-use and powerful digital front-end. Features include 25 on-board presets for instant recall and reset capabilities, full MIDI support for storage of settings and automation, support for Digidesign's Pro Tools, two world-class microphone preamps, two four band parametric equalizers (preamps and EQ can be used separately or routed together internally), two filters per preamp (high and/or low pass, stackable for 24 dB/ octave rolloff), 48 volt phantom power, phase reversal, analog fading and more. • Two Channels • High Performance Microphone Amplifiers with Dual Range HP/LP Filter Section • Coarse and Fine Gain Control for Each Section • Instrumentation Type Input Amplifiers • Independent Four Band Classic Equalizer • Massive Dynamic Range • Virtually No High Order Harmonics • Store and Reset, Copy and Remote Control • MIDI Controllable • Twenty-Five User Definable Memories • Floating and Balanced Output Transformers • Traditional Analog Type Controls and Readouts for Ease of Operation MICROPHONE PATH: • Input Impedance for Minimal Microphone Loading 10,000 Ohms • Low Noise Phantom Supply for Capacitor Microphones 48 Volts • Coarse Stepped Gain Control, 4.0 dB Steps 17 Positions: Unity To 64 dB • Fine Stepped Gain Control, 1.0 dB Steps 17 Positions: +/- 4 dB, Center 0 • Factory Output Levels Set for Maximum Dynamic Range and S/N: +20 dBu.
