1081R Mic Pre-Amp

...'s finest studios.
The 1081R is the ideal solution for engineers seeking multiple channels of Neve sound quality without investing in a new console. This system consists of a microprocessor-controlled 12-slot rack and a choice of two superb mic preamps, the Neve 1081 and Air Montserrat (from the vintage Air Montserrat console).
By selecting their desired combination of mic preamps, engineers have the flexibility to record Classical, pop, rock, or any other musical format, and control it all from a Neve Console or standalone PC. In terms of application, the Air Montserrat Pre is the optimum choice for ambient Recording, while the 1081 offers the perfect response for close miking of vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion.
The rack can be positioned remotely and controlled via an Encore system on a Neve console or a standalone PC, making it the perfect choice for studio or live Recording applications. (Connections come courtesy of a 9-pin serial control cable via RS232 to RS485 converter.) Operational settings such as gain, phase and 20dB pad can be controlled either from the rack or via the interface screen, and stored for later recall.
The 1081R allows these legendary mic preamps to be used as remote inputs for the 88RS analogue console, or provides the perfect comPanion to our digital consoles.

Mic Pre-Amp

The mic pre-amp (also known as the microphone preamplifier) is an essential sound engineering device that allows the microphone signal to be easily processed by other devices. Usually, the microphone signals are not strong enough to penetrate units like the mixing consoles and recording equipment. Thus, the microphone pre amp heightens the signal so it can reach the required signal strength by the devices. For instance, the dynamic microphone has an output voltage within the range of 0-100 (microvolt). This is too low so the microphone pre-amp heightens the level approximately 70 dB or 0-100 volts. The result is a stronger signal that creates better sound quality. The mic pre-amp supplies ample gain and at the same time, it prevents the noise generated that could possible distort the signal. It also serves as a transducer that generates a kind of coloration or effects to an audio mix. Normally, sound engineers would emphasize the effect of the mic pre-amp to the overall quality of the sound of the audio mix. The pre amplifier usually charges the microphone with low impedance and this makes the microphone to work double time, resulting in the modification of the tone quality. The audio mixers already have built in preamplifiers but the mic pre-amp adds extra effects to the audio mixer’s effects. There are some types of microphones such as the condenser microphones that need the mic pre-amp to function. There are also pre-amps that comprise the channel strip together with the recording equipment like equalizers, compressors, noise gates, etc.
