8MP 8 channel MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER Made in Sweden by Line Audio Design

Based on carefully designed circuitry that ensures uncoloured and detailed audio offering higly transparent audio gain.

The design is DC-coupled throughout, except for the matched plastic film input capacitors and is based on a low noise, discrete, class A, matched transistor differential pair input stage, followed by low noise, low distorion O/P-amplifiers. Overall the signal path is short and audibly transparent and features excellent audio quality.
The inputs are electronically balanced XLR microphone inputs with 48V phantom power, capable of delivering full phantomcurrent on ALL channels without the voltage "diving" or adding noise and hum. The XLR outputs are electronically balanced (with a slow DC-offset servo).
All XLR sockets are goldplated original Neutriks'.
To minimize noise and distortion and to ensure good gain-potentiometer performance the first stage has only two fixed gains with the gain-potentiometer is inserted at a later stage.
Currently not available.
Due to increasing no. orders and limited capacity we decided to focus on the microphones in order to keep up.
