Focusrite RED 1 Four Channel Microphone Preamplifier Top-notch and quality reliable hardware that does not to be recommended. The device comes from a professional, non smoking recording studio in Warsaw. It is in a very good condition, both technically and visually. This device has never left its studio rack and never disappointed us. Has a slight traces of use, scratches on the screws visible in the photos. I add two power cords (EU and US) to the preamp. Shipping at the expense and responsibility of the buyer.This sales is on behalf of my friend. You will get the bank details after winning the auction. Postage costs quoted are a GUIDE and ultimately depend on buyer location. Please contact me BEFORE buying the item to request a postage cost. Pictures depict real equipment exhibited in this offer. Below is a description of the device: With four mic pre-amps in a single unit, the Focusrite RED 1 Four Channel Microphone Preamplifier is ideal for upgrading the inputs of an existing studio console, or for multiple microphone location recordings. Each channel offers switchable phantom power and phase reverse, selected by illuminated push-button switches activating relays, an easy to read illuminated VU meter, and a handy scribble disc. Microphone gain is switched in 6dB steps over a 66dB range, for accurate and precise channel matching. Some of the features of the Red 1 preamp are superb common-mode rejection, a good overload margin, and with its shared gain structure (20dB from transformer and up to 40dB from the amplifier,) a very low noise floor with high gain bandwidth. It also maintains this level of performance with a very wide range of impedance across the inputs. In practice, this makes the four preamps revealing yet forgiving. The output stages of the Red 1, with custom transformers, will easily drive very long cable runs - up to several kilometers - without significant loss of quality, making it ideal for remote recordings. The unit, when used with high quality ribbon, valve and condenser microphones, obtains outstanding results with all sound sources, but especially with voice, piano and string instruments. *Four channels of microphone preamplification *The Red preamp circuitry offers extremely low noise and distortion *Frequency response 10Hz to 140kHz *Versatile, yet straight forward operation *Ideal upgrade of inputs in existing studio consoles *Switchable phantom power and phase reverse upon each channel, selected by illuminated push-button switches activating relays *Large, easy to read illuminated VU meter *Microphone gain in 6dB steps across 66dB range *Superb common-mode rejection, overload margin, and a shared gain structure for low noise and high bandwith *Accepts very wide range of impedance across inputs *Custom transformer output stages easily drives very long cable runs SPECS: Number of Channels 4 Inputs 4 x XLR Output 4 x XLR Phantom Power +48V Multi Function No Gain Range -6dB to +60dB in 6dB steps
