Mic Pre Microphone Preamplifier. A device (or part or a larger device such as a mix-
ing console or audio interface) that takes the low output signal of a micro-
phone (referred to as mic level) and amplifies it to a higher level (referred
to as line level).
This must be done in order to make the microphone's output compatible

amplifier.
