THE MDP-1 (S#1070) IS A MODERN TWO CHANNEL VACUUM TUBE MIC/DI PREAMP DESIGNED TO BE THE ULTIMATE WAY TO GET YOUR MIC OR SOURCE DIRECTLY TO TAPE OR HARD DISK. UNLIKE VINTAGE OR HYBRID DESIGNS, THE MDP-1 USES A PURE TUBE, CLASS A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT TOPOLOGY WITH A TRANSFORMERLESS OUTPUT STAGE TO DELIVER AN OPEN, INTIMATE SOUND WITH A LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MOST DEMANDING RECORDING APPLICATIONS. THE SHORT SIGNAL PATH DESIGN EXCELS IN AUDIO PERFORMANCE, DELIVERING EXTREMELY WIDE BANDWIDTH, LOW NOISE, AND HIGH HEADROOM.

THE MDP-1 ALSO HAS ALL THE THINGS YOU'D EXPECT IN A FULL-FEATURED MIC PREAMP; PHANTOM POWER, PHASE REVERSE, -20DB INPUT PAD, A LO CUT FILTER WITH 10 FREQUENCIES AND LARGE, ILLUMINATED VU METERS.

THE DI SIGNAL PATH IS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMERLESS, WITH A SELECTION OF THREE INPUT LOAD IMPEDANCES: 10M FOR PIEZOELECTRIC ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENT PICKUPS, 1M FOR MAGNETIC PICKUPS, AND 100K WITH A 20DB PAD FOR LINE LEVEL SOURCES SUCH AS KEYBOARDS OR OTHER -10DBV EQUIPMENT.

I PURCHASED THIS ITEM IN 2001 AND IT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. I USED IT FOR TWO ORCHESTRAL PROJECTS AND THEN IT WAS PUT ASIDE.
