The MicPre 5.0 is a complete single channel microphone preamp
that offers features and flexibility for use in recording, live sound
or any application that requires a high quality microphone preamp.

In this manual the MicPre 5.0 will also be referred to

as the MP 5.0.

The signal path consists of a matched discrete transistor front-end,
premium IC's, and transformer output stage. With the push of a
button, the MP 5.0 can change from a "Transformer-Balanced"
output to a "Active-Balanced" output.

The MP 5.0 also includes a mix section that makes it perfect for
DAW's and remote recording. With an optional interface cable, the
mix section of the MP 5.0 can linked with additional MP 5.0’s to
form a fully integrated mix section.

The compact ½ rack format of the MP5.0 can easily be rack
mounted and combined with the Speck Model ASC equalizer to
create a highly functional outboard channel strip.

The MicPre 5.0 is available in 2 versions; The Model MP5.0-NA
designed to operate with 100 and 120 VAC power, and the Model
MP5.0-EU that is designed to operate with 220, 230 or 240 VAC
power.
