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

The m801 delivers unmatched audio performance - with massive headroom and ultra-wide bandwidth which contribute to a markedly open, musical character. The m801 is designed to effortlessly resolve even the lowest level ambient information, resulting in a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded.

The signal path is fully balanced from end to end, resulting in wider dynamic range, while new higher current output drivers enable longer cable runs without signal loss. Included on each channel is a dedicated ribbon microphone switch, which lifts the preamplifier’s entire gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power and bypassing the decoupling capacitors. And an additional set of 8 channel balanced outputs are included as a splitter to send the signals to a secondary recorder, workstation or console.
