MM-1 High Quality
Mic Preamp with Headphone Monitor Highly versatile and portable, Sound Devices' MM-1
is a single-channel, portable microphone preamplifier with a
powerful headphone monitoring function. Proven in mission-critical
applications, the high-performance microphone preamplifier uses a
transformer-balanced input and output with a bipolar ±15 volt
power supply to produce low-noise, low-distortion gain at all
switch positions. It features an "unclippable" dual-stage limiter
and two-position high-pass filter. Flexible microphone powering
provides phantom power at 48 volts or 12 volts and 12-volt T-power.
It is powered from two-AA batteries or external 5-18 VDC.
The MM-1 is at home in high-definition television production,
corporate/industrial environments, radio/television announce
booths, and music production. Its headphone monitor is an advantage
in applications where communications channels or mix-minus feeds
need to be monitored in headphones. The user can monitor both
microphone audio and external audio sources in headphones with
level control.
The MM-1 is designed to be durable. Its aluminum chassis, oversized
end panels, machined knobs, and panel mounted connectors assure
reliable mechanical operation.
