The M80 provides eight very high-end mic preamps featuring Jensen transformers, FET, Class A discrete input buffers, twin servo gain stages, and no capacitors. Features that set it apart from other multichannel preamps include left/right mix bus assignment and panning for multiple microphone/instrument stereo imaging. It not only gives you eight discrete outputs, it also serves as an 8x2 mixer. Add warmth to any microphone using the FET IDSS adjustment for harmonic distortion that emulates tube coloration and tape saturation. An auxiliary input section allows daisy chaining several M80s together -- all sharing the last stereo output in the chain. Servo-balanced send and return jacks on each channel allow external balanced processing. Each channel has gain control, phase reversal, phantom power, a 20dB input pad, 80Hz rumble filter, and full output metering. Unit requires 2 rack spaces.
