Empirical Labs EL9 Mike-E

Der Mike – e ist das erste Gerät von Empirical Labs mit einem Mikrofonpreamp! Der Mike-e ist ein moderner digital gesteuerter Mikrofonpreamp, der mit ungewöhnlichen Features und einem exzellenten Kompressor/Limiter, für einen warmen und seidigen Klang sorgt. Mike-e bietet einen unglaublich leistungsfähigen travosymetrierten Mikrofonpreamp, dessen Eigenrauschen weit unter dem von Mikrofonen liegt. Die einzigartige ConpSat Section bietet eine kompromisslose Kompressor und Bandsättigungs-Schaltung, die es möglich macht den Klang vielfältig zu färben und durch klassische Knee Kompression zu komprimieren.
