Description Effect/Enhancement: Parametric Equalization Number of Channels: 1 Model: CA81 MKII
To this the CA81mk2 adds a transformer-balanced line level input as well. Mic input has a gain range of -80dB to -20dB in 5dB increments, and the line input has a gain range of -20 to +10dB. Each channel features a mic/line sensitivity switch, front switches for phantom power, polarity, 300 / 1200 ohms input impedance, in/out switch for the EQ section, a level control for fine tuning of the output level, and a 5-segment headroom meter.In the EQ section the two mid bands and HP filter feature classic inductor based designs renowned for their musicality. Additionally, both mid bands feature a “Q” switch to select between wide and narrow bandwidth options. Low and high bands are selectable between shelf or peak.The new version uses relay-controlled gain switching, and the front XLR connector automatically overrides the rear connector when in use. So when you wish to use the front XLR, you don’t need to bother with disconnecting the rear XLR. You can have the rear connector permanently plugged in continuously.The CA81mk2 is built with gold-plated ELMA switch for gain and frequency selecting, tantalum caps in the signal path, gold-plated relays for internal switching, vishay potentiometers in a powdercoated steel chassis.Controls:
