Balanced transformerless design ensures minimal signal distortion for pure audio capture
Exclusive ribbon mic mode increases input impedance and bypasses phantom power to protect ribbon microphones
Precision audio path with 0.5% metal film resistors delivers high-fidelity signal processing
12-position gold-plated rotary gain switch allows flexible gain control
Three output connectors (XLR balanced, TRS balanced, 1/4" unbalanced) provide versatile connectivity
