Features
- Eight remote-controlled microphone preamps for Dante
- Up to 24-bit/192 kHz A-D conversion
- Gain adjustable from 10 to 65 dB in 1 dB steps
- Per-channel 48V phantom power
- 20 dB pad, high-pass filtering and polarity inversion
- Control from front panel or RedNet Control software
- Separate direct and automatically gain-compensated outputs per preamp
- Dual power supplies and redundant network connections
- Locking etherCON Ethernet and XLR mic connectors
Why We Like This
The MP8R can position microphone preamps close to stage or studio inputs while operators adjust settings elsewhere on the network. Its direct and gain-compensated outputs address workflows where two destinations need different gain behavior.
FAQs
Q: Can preamp gain be adjusted remotely?
A: Yes. The source identifies RedNet Control and front-panel adjustment.
Q: Does each channel provide phantom power?
A: Yes. Independently switchable 48V phantom power is specified.
Q: Can one preamp feed two output paths?
A: Yes. Each preamp has a direct output and an automatically gain-compensated output.
