The Empirical Labs EL9 Mike-E Microphone Preamplifier With Compressor is a Microphone Preamplifier that is digitally-controlled, with features to warm and soften your signal, along with a compressor/limiter.
The Empirical Labs EL-9 Mike E offers a performance transformer-coupled mic preamp, whose noise floor is well below any microphone's self noise. The unique 'CompSat' section is a compressor and saturator circuit that offers versatile 'colouring' and a classic knee compression.
The Empirical Labs EL 9 Mike-E Microphone Preamplifier With Compressor Main Features Include:
- Mic Preamplifier with super low noise & stepped gain switching.
- Built in ‘Direct Box’, called the ‘Inst In’, offers unparalleled
distortion, noise, and frequency response when pre-amping
instruments.
- ‘Coloured’ 80Hz High pass filter emulates the warm low
frequency cut of our favorite vintage equalizers.
- Phase Switch to invert the audio signal 180 degrees.
- Exclusive CompSat™ Section: Offers both a musical Compressor/Limiter and a unique tape-like saturation circuit.
- Emphasis high-frequency emphasis system softens high
frequency ‘pile-ups’ and further the creamy color of the Mike-E.
