Daking's Mic Pre 500 is a redesigned version of a single channel from their popular Mic Pre IV in a module format for use in 500 Series racks. Like the Mic Pre IV, the Mic Pre 500 uses Class A, fully-discrete transistor circuitry. The Mic Pre 500 uses a tri-color LED metering setup and accepts both line and hi-Z inputs via the 1/4" jack, in addition to the XLR microphone equipped with +48V phantom power. With a -20dB pad for added versatility, the Mic Pre 500 microphone preamplifier is ready for anything.Daking Mic Pre 500 Modular Single-Channel Microphone Preamplifier at a Glance:Modular Design to integrate into 500 Series racksClass A, fully-discrete transistor circuitryFully-loaded front panel controls and meteringModular Design to integrate into 500 Series racksThe same preamplifier that made the Mic Pre IV in an affordable, modular format.
