A Whole New Level of Sonic Realism!
The Model 801 is a new species of professional microphone preamplifier. You've never heard a mic preamp deliver such a full, natural sound. Grace Design devoted special care to the creation of the Model 801, including a painstaking attention to detail. The result is a bold design that combines state-of-the-art technology with a classic sound that will never go out of style. The Model 801 has that indefinable yet much-prized ability to sift out and find the sonic gold that makes all the difference between a good recording and a great one. And you tap into the uncompromising, professional sound you've been searching for. One of the many highlights of this sleek, shiny preamp is that it essentially combines 8 mic preamps in one chassis, opening a whole new world of possibilities for your recording studio. With the world of recording increasingly dominated by the use of MDM's, the 801 is the perfect front end for your DA-88 or ADAT. Its reliability and quality make it an excellent preamp for direct-to-tape recording, and its superior performance qualifies the Model 801 for a place in any world-class recording studio. Each gain control has 24 positions and adjusts the voltage gain from 18dB to 64dB in 2dB steps. For reference, the 9 o'clock position is 30dB, the 12 o'clock position is 42dB, and the 3 o'clock position is 56dB. The 801 is your gateway to a whole new world of sonic realism!
