Summit Audio MPC-100A - Microphone Preamp and Compressor

The MPC-1OOA from Summit Audio is a single channel, tube preamplifier and tube compressor/limiter featuring 3 input types - microphone, line level and front panel Hi-Z input. By utilizing both tube and solid state technology, and working in synch with the Jensen microphone input transformer, the unit is able to deliver detailed sound with varying amounts of harmonically complex, yet pleasing overtones.

The 3 position ultra-fast attack of the compressor section yields highly optimized signals for working in the digital domain. The Hi-Z input features an impedance matching (load) control so that passive guitars and bass pickups have a wide level of tone control. Three separate gain sections deliver endless tonal variations, from clean to saturated, while true VU metering and multiple outputs provide accurate visual feedback and comprehensive connectivity.
