phase reverse switch allows the operator to avoid phase cancellation when identical microphones are used in close proximity to one another. The phase reverse switch also can compensate for different XLR connector
∙A 20 dB pad is available on each channel for reducing the
∙The M80 has +28 dBu of headroom on each channel. This feature gives you a very wide dynamic range and excellent transient response characteristics.
∙A Rumble filter is located on each channel to eliminate low frequency noise. This lets you greatly reduce background noise such as air conditioners or wind noise with the flick of a switch without effecting the desired frequencies.
∙Each channel of the M80 has a Mic/Instrument connector using the Neutrik ® Combo connector. This revolutionary new style connector lets you use either 1/4” phone or XLR connectors in the same female input.
∙The M80 offers a high quality transformer on each channel. These feature an IDSS control (this control adjusts the drain current on the input FET amplifier altering the even harmonic levels of the signal being passed) with an adjustment range of 0% to 100%. The 0% position passes a pure signal. As the control is rotated to the 100% position, the signal’s even harmonic series is boosted giving the signal “warmth” very much like a vacuum tube or analog tape saturation. This remarkable effect gives you the sound of a tube without the headache of uneven performance often encountered with vacuum tube devices ( no tube to
∙The M80 has a stereo mix bus for combining the input signals assigned to the bus using the L/R function switch on the front panel of the M80. A pan knob allows the placement of the selected signal anywhere in the stereo array of the stereo mix bus
∙Inserting stereo headphones into the jack on the front panel of the M80 enables the user to monitor the signals assigned to the Mix bus. Ample power has been provided to allow the operator to hear the processed signals in loud ambient noise
