Rane MS1S MS1S Mic Stage Manual - Page 6

MS1S MIC STAGE Features • -127 dB Equivalent Input Noise • Gain Control • Signal / Overload Indicator • Polarity Switch • Switchable 48 V Phantom Power • True Differential Input • Cross-coupled Line Driver • Internal 100-240 VAC Power Supply General Description The Rane MS1S Mic Stage preamplifier provides the answer when you need just one microphone input in an otherwise line-level world. Give us a call to go from either a dynamic, condenser or electret microphone to a line-level input with a minimum of noise, distortion, cost and hassle. The MS1S provides 48 V switchable Phantom Power with an indicator LED, continuous rotary Gain trim between 15 dB and 60 dB, Signal/Overload LED, and XLR balanced Input & Output connectors. A Polarity switch and high-current cross-coupled output line driver round out the features. The MS1S utilizes one of the finest ultra low noise amplifier designs available. Featuring a true differential input with high common-mode rejection, use of the MS1S guarantees performance usually found only in mixing consoles costing thousands of times as much. Of course, for all of that extra money you receive a proportional increase in KPSI (knobs per square inch). The MS1S replaced the MS 1B Mic Stage with a new internal universal power supply. The width increases by one inch, all other features are the same. 6
