◆D-PRE (D-PRE Discrete Class-A Microphone Preamp)
The D-PRE microphone preamp employs an inverted Darlington circuit, traditionally used in high-end audio amplifiers. This circuit's multi-stage configuration of amplification elements achieves high current and low impedance. The resulting sound is thick and natural, with a sense of openness and airiness, based on a smooth, crisp, and lustrous midrange. Aiming to reproduce the original sound faithfully and with high quality, the D-PRE has been meticulously tuned to achieve flat characteristics across the entire frequency range.

◆The key to high-quality sound lies in the op amp.

For the development of the MG series, we developed a new, high-quality, custom-made op amp, the ""MG01."" While many op amps on the market emphasize electrical characteristics and efficiency, we created this op amp with a focus on sound quality. The MG01 op-amp is a product we're proud of, having optimized its internal components and wiring, and carefully selected materials such as high-quality silicon wafers and copper wire for superior performance.

◆A one-knob compressor that delivers professional sound with just one knob

Achieve optimal compression for everything from vocals to instruments, achieving a professional sound, without the need to memorize complex names or operating principles or connect a separate compressor.

◆EQ and high-pass filter

Mono channels on the MG10 and above are equipped with a 3-band EQ. Each mono channel is equipped with a high-pass filter to remove unwanted low frequencies and allow for clearer mixing.

◆Mono input channels that maximize channel utilization

Mono inputs feature high-quality, renowned Neutrik combo jacks, accepting both microphone and line-level signals. A 26dB pad is also provided for handling high-volume sources. The stereo line inputs on the MG12 and above also feature standard XLR connectors, allowing you to fully utilize the channel.

◆Output Channels with Flexible Output Configuration

Small models tend to omit the main XLR output, but all models feature XLR and phone jacks.

◆SPX Digital Effects

The SPX Digital Multi-Effects Processor offers 24 editable programs to suit any situation, allowing you to color your sound in a variety of ways. You'll be captivated by the natural, realistic, high-quality reverb and delay sounds. Connecting the optional FC5 footswitch allows you to turn effects on and off with foot control.

◆Metal Chassis for Durability

The powder-coated metal chassis enhances impact resistance, boasting unprecedented durability. The sleek design enables optimal convection cooling, and the internal layout separates the power supply circuitry from the analog circuitry, thoroughly eliminating the effects of noise and extending the life of internal components. Furthermore, the knobs' positioning is carefully considered to distribute impacts across the panel surface and absorb damage to the internal circuit boards.
