Grace Design m902 The core of the m902 is a meticulously designed high-current transimpedance amplifier circuitry, which is designed to effortlessly drive even the lowest impedance headphones and provide the high-resolution and low-level ambient detail for which all Grace Design products are famous. The m902 includes a crossfeed circuit, or XFeed, which simulates the natural acoustics of a loudspeaker listening environment and HRTF (Head Related Transfer Functions). This circuitry, designed by Dr. Jan Meier, can significantly improve imaging, while reducing listening fatigue when using headphones. The m902 also cleverly adds stereo unbalanced analog line outputs for connection to studio monitors or any speaker system, allowing it to double as an elegantly simple high fidelity monitor controller or even a purist audiophile preamplifier / DAC. Features - balanced and unbalanced analog inputs - 24bit/192kHz digital stereo inputs- AES3, S/PDIF, TOSLINK and USB (USB: 16 bit/44.1 and 48k only) - s-LockTM phase lock loop sample clock regeneration for ultra-low jitter and rock solid digital stability - high-current transimpedance headphone amplifier circuitry built to drive low impedance headphones - variable level balanced or unbalanced analog outputs for studio monitors - all electrical and mechanical design elements maximized for absolute purist, audiophile performance - precision level control with a 95dB range in .5 dB steps - channel level matching accuracy of 0.05dB - crossfeed circuitry (XFeed) for improved headphone imaging - optional infrared remote control available - internal linear power supply with custom wound toroidal transformer - no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path - highest quality metal film resistors used throughout - sealed gold contact relays used for all signal switching - five year warranty on parts and labor more info
Grace Design m802 Alternatively the m802 can also be controlled directly from Avid ProTools|HD systems, compatible control surfaces and many other MIDI devices. Grace Design has adapted Avid's control spec to directly address the m802 as an integrated part of a ProTools|HD system. Additionally, the m802 can be controlled by a wide variety of MIDI mappable devices, making it easily integrated into a wide variety of remote recording situations. Further control options include the all new Studio Six Digital stand alone computer based (PC or Mac) MIDI control utility 'Grace Design m802 Commander'. Additionally there is an optional 8 channel 24bit/192kHz A/D card option. Developed as the perfect complement to the m802 mic preamplifier design, this converter card provides pristine, musical A/D conversion together with the unique s-Lock dual stage PLL for low intrinsic jitter. DPA 4000 series 130V microphones are widely regarded as some of the finest reference-quality microphones available. Yet, with their unique 130V power requirement, preamplifier options for these mics are quite limited. So we have made the m802 an excellent complement for DPA microphones by adding a 130V power option, available on a per channel pair basis. The m802 now includes ribbon mic mode, which shifts the preamplifier’s entire gain range up 10dB, while deactivating 48V phantom power, optimizing input impedance and bypassing the decoupling capacitors. Features - fast, musical transimpedance amplifier architecture - fully balanced, transformeless design - flexible digital metering with peak hold and reset - controllable from ProTools|HD systems and compatible control surfaces (and many other MIDI devices) - 130V phantom power available, per channel pair, for DPA microphones - dual high-current outputs (XLR+D-Sub) drive long cable runs and loads down to 50 Ohms - fast, efficient Philips I2C serial protocol to control preamplifiers from up to 300m away - gain range of -7dB to +63dB in 1.5 dB steps - new selectable ribbon mic mode - channel group mode (perfect for stereo pairs, subgroups) - RCU able to address up to 8 units (64 channels) from up to 300m away - front panel lockout mode - large white backlit LCD display - 15 User preset memory locations, for saving preamplifier settings (gain, phantom power, phase) - optional reference quality 24-bit/192 kHz A/D converter card - A/D outputs include 2x8ch AES3 on DB25, 1x8ch AES3-id on 4 BNCs (supports double wire mode) - optional ADAT Lightpipe output with SMUX for 96kHz - s-LockTM dual stage PLL for extremely low jitter without sample rate conversion - wordclock in and out - five year warranty on parts and labor more info
Grace Design m801 The m801’s signal path is fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in wider dynamic range, while the high current output drivers enable longer cable runs without signal loss. Included on each channel is a dedicated ribbon microphone switch, which shifts the preamplifier’s entire gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power and bypassing the decoupling capacitors. There is an additional set of 8 channel balanced outputs for sending signals to a secondary recorder, workstation or console. Features - fully balanced, transformerless design - high-current outputs drive for long cable runs - ribbon mic mode switch - fast, musical transimpedance amplifier architecture - precision 24 position gold contact rotary switch gain controls - 48V phantom power, 20 dB attenuator and phase reverse - no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path - sealed gold contact relays for all signal switching - larger, two color, bi-phase LED peak indicator - regulated linear power supply with custom wound toroidal transformer - highest quality components used throughout - five year warranty on parts and labor more info
Grace Design m501 The m501 module is a balanced, transformerles design, with 48V phantom, a 75Hz HPF and a 1/4” HI-Z instrument input. Also standard is the exclusive ribbon mic mode, which raises the mic input impedance, bypasses the input decoupling capacitors and deactivates 48V phantom to protect delicate ribbon mics from damage. Large diaphragm, vintage ribbon or trusty dynamic - the m501 brings out the very best in any microphone and takes the guesswork out of your input chain. more info
Grace Design m201 With the A/D converter module installed, the microphone preamplifier section or the M+S matrix can be routed to the A/D converter input directly for standard recording applications. Or, with the additional analog line inputs on the A/D converter module, the mic preamplifier and A/D converter sections can be used separately, which allows for external processing to be inserted between the mic amp and the A/D converter. External synchronization to word clock or Avid LoopSync is available, and features a dual stage PPL with s-Lock for extremely low jitter and rock solid digital stability without the use of sample rate conversion. The m201 A/D converter module also features two independent A/D sensitivity configurations. From the front panel interface, the user can easily switch between two calibrated settings (A) and (B), each of which can be configured to one of four provided standard A/D sensitivities. Features - Low latency A/D converter capable of up to 24bit/192kHz operation - Selectable input source: mic pre channels 1&2, MS matrix L-R output, and external balanced line input - Four output connectors: 2x AES3 on XLR, AES3-id/S/PDIF on BNC, and TOSLINK optical - External synchronization to word clock or Avid TM LoopSync - Wide range low noise VCO based PLL followed by our crystal based s-Lock ultra low jitter PLL - Two input sensitivities selectable on the front panel, each is independently calibrated - 20 segment peak reading LED meters show 60dB range - AES3 outputs can be configured for single or dual wire operation - Four standard sensitivities are supported: +18dBu = 0dBFS (14dB Headroom), +20dBu = 0dBFS (16dB Headroom), +22dBu = 0dBFS (18dB Headroom), +24dBu = 0dBFS (20dB Headroom) more info
Grace Design m103 The 3 band EQ section is built around single stage parallel tuning architecture, which minimizes circuitry and delivers natural, musical tonal shaping at all frequencies. Controls include a fully parametric mid, with shelving and peak modes on the high and low bands. The compressor circuit is based on an optical attenuator - one of the purest, high fidelity gain control mechanism available. It provides gentle limiting to fairly heavy compression, while remaining neutral and transparent. The perfect way to zip it all up and send it downstream - clean, intact and alive. Comprehensive I/O options allow the mic pre and EQ/COMP sections to be accessed independently of each other, and the order of the EQ/COMP is switchable. The compressor controls can be linked for stereo applications, and 10 segment gain reduction and output meters make monitoring signal status simple. more info
