Grace Design m801mk2 8-Channel Microphone Preamp Review
The m801mk2 builds on Grace Design’s long history of precision audio while bringing important upgrades. Its new circuitry lowers noise, improves low end accuracy, and offers better protection from interference in busy studio environments. Ribbon mode adds extra gain and a higher input impedance for low output microphones. Each channel includes a 24 step gold contact gain knob, switches for phantom power, polarity, and pad, plus peak LEDs you can adjust. With eight XLR inputs, eight main outputs, and eight parallel outputs, you get flexible routing for modern setups.
