9k mic pre. -Someday I must get around to making a DIY version available for everyone... right after I get my memory fixed, perhaps.
Switchable E/G EQ. I've posted a schematic somewhere of the switchable topology, but I won't be making a DIY version available... Search constant bandwidth for more information... the designer Andy Millar also chimed in... -Where IS Andy, BTW...
The compressor is similar to the E series but they stopped using dbx/THAT chips, and went to SSM ICs. The result is a switchable quasi-peak/RMS sensing, which most users don't even realise is there and leave in RMS, from my experience...
-BR, what percentage of users would you say suddenly think: "I know... -Let's try peak sensing"? -Second question: How many first-time users you encounter even understand the difference?
It's all transformerless, as all pretty much SSL stuff is these days.
Fabio, the sound is NOT in the iron in this case, the sound is in the very clever design, which does exactly 'what it says on the box', with nothing else added and nothing else taken away.
Nice, steady, predictable... not something which I'd kill for, but VERY usable... -so much so that if you have 80 channels, the sound doesn't "add-up" and make you hate it. It doesn't overpower the music, it's quiet, it's just very, very VERY nice.
