Red 1 500 offers a compact interface to digital recording systems or for location recordings as well as convenient access in any control room, with a Lindale LL1538 input transformer, just as in the original; switchable phantom power; polarity invert; and an illuminated classic porthole VU meter.

The unique Focus rite mica amp topology provides superb common mode rejection, excellent overload margin and, with its shared gain structure (14dB from the transformer and up to 46dB from the amplifier), a very low noise floor, combined with the traditional wide bandwidth of the original Red series (10Hz to 140kHz).
