Polsen MP60 Overview
The Polsen MP60 is a versatile, single-channel microphone preamp solution that offers up to 60 dB of clean gain along with a high-pass filter, polarity reversal, metering, and 48V phantom power for condenser mics. Ready for a wide variety of applications, including recording, performance, broadcasting, and streaming, this compact preamp features balanced XLR and unbalanced 3.5mm inputs and outputs housed in a rugged metal chassis. Use it with a huge range of professional and consumer equipment, including mixers, PA systems, computers, and mobile devices. A 12V power supply is included.
Adjustable Gain with Meter
The gain knob lets you precisely adjust the preamplifier's gain level up to +60 dB. The 8-segment meter clearly displays your signal strength and provides a red clip indicator to help you avoid overloading the input.
High-Pass Filter
The high-pass filter decreases frequencies below 120 Hz by 3 dB. It comes in handy when you're recording in a room with a lot of ambient noise. It also minimizes low-end rumble from air conditioning ducts, fans, and overhead lights.
Phase Switch
Two-microphone setups, like drum overheads or stereo guitar mics, can lead to phasing problems and thin-sounding audio due to missing frequencies. The phase switch reverses the polarity of the microphone signal to maintain a full sound.
Balanced XLR Input and Output
Whether it's RF interference from local radio signals or EM interference from power cables or other pieces of gear, the balanced XLR connections help to eliminate outside noise and interference, even with long microphone cable runs.
Phantom Power
The MP60 offers selectable 48V phantom power for compatibility with condenser microphones.
Unbalanced 3.5 mm Input and Output
The MP60 is compatible with any device with 3.5mm audio connectors. Use it to connect devices like headsets and lavalier microphones.
Rugged Metal Construction
The rugged and durable metal chassis has been engineered to survive the rigors of repeated use in demanding studio, location, and stage environments.
