A Designs Showcases New MPA Microphone Preamps

A Designs Audio will be introducing a new series of switchable-tone MPA mic preamps at Winter NAMM 2006. The series includes the MP-1A all-tube mono microphone preamplifier and the MP-2A all-tube mono/mono stereo microphone preamplifier. More than just a new look, these are the first mic pres designed with tone switches enabling the units to sound like totally different preamps.

Each unit has two-tone switches per channel. When used in combination, the result is four different sounds on each channel. This feature offers users unmatched versatility in a mic pre, delivering big tube sound that's perfect for studio recording or live performance.

Additional features include a world-class Jensen input transformer, coupled with a custom wound output transformer to provide low-noise and high-performance users demand from a high-end mic pre. With 60dB gain, -20dB pad, balanced XLR input and output, a vintage VU meter, custom milled face plate, phantom switch, phase switch and a front panel direct inject 1/4 inch input jack.

MSRP: MP-1A - $1,800.00 MP-2A - $2,400.00
