Main Features
The MMP-2 is a microphone pre-amp that delivers high sound quality and is equipped with a large
number of functions, offering the following features:
Full Range of Input and Output Connectors and Pre-amps
The unit is equipped with two channels of XLR/1/4” phone jacks for balanced analog inputs. It supports
a wide range of input sensitivities, from line level (+4 dBu) to microphone level (-64 dBu). Features such
as phantom power and low-band cutoff are also provided. The unit provides not only balanced-XLR
analog output, but also digital output. It is most definitely ready to play an active role in a variety of
environments, including any place that uses a public-address system, or any recording studio.
Designed with Emphasis on Sound Quality
The design of the MMP-2’s analog circuitry is actually a direct descendent of the design responsible for
the high-quality sound of the VS-2480 Digital Studio Workstation. A separate shielded structure is
employed for the vital heart of the amp circuitry, and only carefully selected parts are used. These
exacting considerations result in the achievement of professional-spec sound.
Mic Modeling
Using Microphone Modeling you can process your input audio so that it models the characteristics of
audio from a variety of high quality microphones. Microphone modeling of even greater fidelity is
achieved through use of the best-selling C 3000 B microphone from AKG Acoustics as the source
microphone for your input.
A Wide Variety of Input Processing
The MMP-2’s four-band parametric equalizer has powerful specifications. The stereo 4 band parametric
equalizers can also be configured from 9 different choices including band-pass filters, and shelving equalizers The
MMP-2 also features a full range of dynamics processing including, models of vacuum-tube compressors.
USB-MIDI Interface
Connection to a computer can be made easily using a USB cable, and you can intuitively monitor and
modify the state of the equalizer and dynamics using the included editor program for Mac and PC.
You can use the MMP-2 for a wide variety of
applications such as:
• When you want to convert signals to digital at an early stage, because leaving them in analog makes
them prone to noise.
• When you want to route your signals through a high-quality pre-amp before inputting them to a mixer
or recorder.
• When you want to alter the response of a microphone or pre-amp.
