If you're looking at this you know what it is. Recording through this world class, Class A mic pre gives you that record sound. One of the best pre's there is.
With world class EQ, that can be used inline or separately. Not much else I can say except it's barely used, awesome on everything, it's many top Producer's fav mic-pre. Nary a mark on it. Free free to ask questions. I'll do my best to answer them. Now here's UTA's technical info.. The MPEQ-1 is the amalgamation of the UTA EQ and their new custom mic pre. It features the same flexible and musical Class A discrete circuitry, the uniquely powerful HP/LP filters, and an exciting new approach to a Class A mic pre. You can use the equalizer and the mic pre separately or as a complete channel strip. The mic pre has a custom input transformer and a carefully chosen output transformer.Both are optimized to accentuate the most flattering sonic qualities inherent in audio transformers. The unique mic pre design makes both of these transformers bypass-able. This offers users a choice between the detailed clarity of a Class-A transformer-less design or the vintage musicality of a dual transformer mic preamp. 10 to -60 dB boost range (in stepped 5 dB increments).
