Channel strip... it doesnt roll off the tongue or smack of a high fidelity recording device. Maybe thats why its taken us so long to build one. But we got over it. All labels aside, our new m103 is a powerful tracking tool for virtually any recording scenario. It starts with our tried and true m101 transformerless microphone preamplifier circuity. Headroom, detail, clarity, musicality its all there. Complete with our exclusive ribbon mic mode, a 75Hz HPF and 48V phantom.
