Description
The Glensound GS-MCA001 is a portable, battery powered microphone preamplifier with limiter. It's lightweight, small and rugged construction makes it ideal for outside broadcast and film production. As well as offering a high quality compressor/ limiter circuit (with bypass) it also has selectable LF cuts, 48 volts phantom power and a rotary stepped gain control. A belt clip is included for hands free operation and the single PP3 9 Volt battery offers good operational life. Manufactured in Glensound's UK factory using high quality components & trusted manufacturing techniques the GS-MCA001 will give many years of reliable performance.
