Acquiring good sound and listening
   accurately to what is happening -
 arguably the most important things
you ever do in professional audio

The m103 is the new and first channel strip from Grace Design, incorporating the renowned m101 preamplifier input circuitry, and providing the same highly acclaimed Audiophile quality.

Fully balanced with transformerless inputs and outputs, and using Transimpedance or “current feedback” amplifiers in place of traditional “voltage feedback” op-amps

The m103 has a new parametric 3-band equaliser and a dynamics section built around an optical attenuator - the purest and most transparent technology available, and the order of these processing elements is reversible via a front panel switch. The ideal tracking tool!

• Fast and musical transimpedance microphone preamplifier architecture
• Updated audio path with 0.5% precision metal film resistors
• New 12 position gold plated rotary gain switch
• High performance output line driver amplifier and HPF amplifier
• Ribbon mic mode (also great for dynamic mics) -  Relay bypass of phantom power decoupling capacitors, increased input impedance, and 48V lockout
• 3-band presicion EQ, fully parametric mid band, peak and shelf mode for hi and low bands
• new design optical compressor
• Mic amp direct output
• EQ/Dynamics section line input
• EQ/Dynamics blocks switchable to Dynamics/EQ
• Bombproof laser-etched black anodized front panel
• Sealed gold contact relay for Hi-Z input switching
• Built-in power supply
• Led indicators for +48V, Ribbon mode, and HPF
• powerful 10 segment meters for gain reduction and output level
• Five year warranty on parts and labour
