Grace Design m101
Überblick
Preamps
Der Gipfel der transparenten Vorverstärkung mit transformatorloser Topologie, die außerordentlich niedriges Rauschen und eine linealflache Frequenzgangkurve erreicht und zum Erfassen der reinsten möglichen Darstellung jeder Quelle konzipiert ist.
Instrumentendetails
The m101 is the antithesis of the 'vintage mojo' trend, offering a surgical level of clarity that has made Grace Design a staple in high-end studios. Its transimpedance circuit architecture delivers an incredibly fast transient response and a floor-level noise specification that makes it ideal for capturing the delicate nuances of acoustic instruments or high-resolution vocal sessions.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the dedicated Ribbon mode. By bypassing the input decoupling capacitors and increasing the input impedance, it breathes life into passive ribbon microphones, providing the necessary gain without the hiss associated with lesser preamps. The build quality is exemplary; the 12-position gold-plated rotary gain switch provides satisfying, repeatable steps, which is a massive plus for precise stereo matching if you pair two units for overheads or room mics.
While some might find its 'wire with gain' philosophy too clinical for already sterile digital environments, it's an essential tool for engineers who prioritize accuracy over coloration. It doesn't hide flaws, but it reveals the true character of your microphone collection. At this price point, you are paying for precision engineering and US-made reliability. It's a professional workhorse that will likely outlast most of the gear in your rack, making it a sound investment for serious tracking.
