DATA SHEET / MANUAL
General Description
The Rane MS 1b Mic Stage preamplifier
provides the answer when you need just
one microphone input in an otherwise
line-level world. Give us a call to go from
either a dynamic, condenser or electret
microphone to a line-level input with a
minimum of noise, distortion, cost and
hassle.
The MS 1b provides 48 V switchable
Phantom Power with indicator LED,
continuous rotary Gain trim between 18
dB and 66 dB, Signal/Overload LED, and
XLR balanced Input & Output connec-
tors. A Polarity switch and high-current
cross-coupled output line driver round out
the features.
The MS 1b utilizes one of the finest
ultra low noise amplifier designs available.
Featuring a true differential input with
high common-mode rejection, use of the
MS 1b guarantees performance usually
found only in mixing consoles costing
thousands of times as much. Of course,
for all of that extra money you receive a
proportional increase in KPSI (knobs per
square inch).
