At the heart of the m103 is the same preamp found in the well-loved m101, known for its pure, open sound. Add in a 3-band EQ for precise tone shaping and an optical compressor that keeps dynamics under control without coloring the sound. It also features a ribbon mic mode, a high-pass filter, and a Hi-Z input, making it versatile for both studio microphones and instruments. Built with top-shelf components and designed for professionals, the m103 delivers high fidelity performance while staying user-friendly.
