M80
Eight-Channel Mic-Preamplifier with Stereo Summing Bus
The PreSonus M80 is an Eight-Channel Mic-Preamplifier with Stereo Summing Bus featuring high quality transformers, FET,
Class A Discrete Input Buffers and Twin Servo Gain Stages. NO CAPACITORS!
The M80 was designed to enhance the performance of any console or digital audio workstation by providing eight very high
end microphone preamplifiers. The M80 affords you an amazing front end for two, four, or eight channel analog to digital
converters. The M80 was designed using the very best components and design parameters to truly be called a "World Class"
mic-preamp.
Special features found on the M80 that set it apart from other multi-channel mic-preamps include: Left/Right Mix Bus assignment
and panning for multiple microphone/instrument stereo imaging. (Not only does the M80 give you eight discrete outputs, but
it also serves as an 8x2 mixer as well.) The M80 also provides an Auxillary Input section that allows you to "daisy chain"
several M80s together and have them all share the last Stereo Output in the chain. You can add warmth to any microphone
using the M80's proprietary FET IDSS adjustment. The unique IDSS feature allows for adjusting the harmonic distortion on
each individual channel from 0.001% to 0.5%, thereby emulating a tube coloration and analog tape saturation. This is our
way of giving you the best of both worlds. An extremely valuable M80 provision is the Servo-Balanced Send & Return Jacks
on each channel for external balanced processing. In addition, each channel on the M80 features Gain Control, Phase Reversal,
Phantom Power (48V), a 20db Input Pad, 80Hz Rumble Filter and full Output Metering.
A Neutrik™ Combo Jack handles XLR or 1/4" input connections for microphones or instruments. The output connectors are
balanced XLR on every channel. Send & Return jacks are 1/4" servo balanced connectors. The L/R Mix Output and Auxillary
Input are all XLR connectors. The M80 occupies two rack spaces and presents itself with an anodized aluminum face plate
and all steel chassis. The power supply is internal and the torodial transformer is switchable for international use.
