It seamlessly combines an Element Pickup with a high quality FET condenser capsule for an affordable, simple-to-use, one-cord mix. By using clever and efficient design, LR Baggs have added these features without raising the price or compromising the quality.The Pickup: The Element Pick-up is a minature internally mounted microphone/pick-up mixing system that seamlessly combines the patented Element transducer with a high quality FET condenser microphone. The ultra-quiet preamp mounts non-destructively inside of the instrument and features all-discrete audiophile circuitry for LR Baggs signature quality sound and a great one-cord mix right out of box. The preamp controls have ample flexibility to fine tune the response to your individual guitar.The Microphone: The Dual Source mic is a high quality omni-directional FET condenser capsule encased in a small block of acoustically transparent foam. It mounts easily on the back of the inside of the guitar with Velcro. It is designed to use the entire back surface as a "pressure zone." This minimizes the effect of standing waves and hot spots inside of the guitar. Consequently, the sound is closer to that of an outside microphone than with other internal mic placements. This location also gives increased protection against feedback.Element undersaddle pick-upOnmidirectional FET condenser microphoneAll discrete miniature preamp/mixerMono or split stereo operationPhase reverse on pickup channelTunable low cut filter for microphoneBattery Bag battery retentionPrewired strapjack harnessRemote control II

Lr Baggs Ds Pre Dual Source Preamp $135.99 The Dual Source Preamp is available independently of the Dual Source System, offering players an all-discrete, Class A, two-channel onboard mixing preamp -- an essential component for those building custom two-source acoustic guitar amplification systems. The Dual Source PRE also comes with a Remote Control, which mounts nondestructively to the soundhole and puts volume and mix controls at your fingertips. Universal Onboard Mic/Pickup Mixer The Dual Source Preamp is a miniature onboard microphone/pickup mixer. It features all-discrete, Class A circuitry and provides a perfect mix between the most popular pickups and mini-microphones. Like a rack in a matchbox, the Dual Source Preamp provides a great sounding, simple to use and affordable way to enjoy the benefits of a blended system without hauling around a rack full of gear or cutting your guitar for knobs. The Remote Control Unique to the DS, and a must for stage use, is the exclusive soundhole mounted controller, the Remote Control. It attaches nondestructively to the edge of the soundhole and puts master volume and microphone volume controls right at your fingertips. In mix mode the Remote Control provides a pan control between the pickup and mic, plus a master volume. However, simply flipping a switch separates the mic and pickup for independent access by simply plugging in a stereo "Y" cable. Importantly, in split mode, the Remote Control provides individual volume controls for both the mic and pickups. The Electronics If you have ever wondered how LR Baggs can make such great sounding stuff for such a low price, here it is - they do more with less. They strive to find the most elegant and simple circuit solutions possible. They also continually work to eliminate any unnecessary or sonically degrading parts in their circuitry. Not only does this make for the purest possible sound, it actually reduces the cost. The entire Dual Source Preamp/Mixer signal path, for example, contains only six transistors and a few film caps. LR Baggs also insists on all-discrete Class A circuitry, with no negative feedback, for the lowest noise and the sweetest, most transparent sound possible. Contrast this with common "Op-Amp" based circuits, where each Op-Amp contains dozens of transistors, and the genius of LR Baggs designs will be apparent.

Tonelux Mp5a All-Discrete Mic Preamp $785 The Tonelux MP5A is a discrete mic preamp with a DI (direct input) on the front panel. The MP5As Mic In is transformer coupled in and out, and has a 20dB pad (affects both Mic and DI), 48V Phantom power switch, and Phase or Polarity switch. The pad and polarity switches affect both inputs. The inner, or larger (silver) knob sets the mic pre gain and the outer smaller (black) knob controls the output level. We chose the fader control for the outer knob so the gain knob, once set, won't be bumped when adjusting the output level.The 8-segment LED VU meter follows the balanced output of the preamp. The level of the VU meter is adjustable over the entire range from Off to +28. The Peak LED is set at +14VU or +18dBu and can grab a fast peak and display it. An internal jumper selects the Mic Pre Main Output or the Mic Pre Gain Stage signal to feed the VU Meter. This allows the engineer to monitor the real mic pre gain or output level of the MP5A. When monitoring the Mic Pre Gain, the meter shows the actual gain-stage level, and is not affected by the output fader.The Combo XLR/Direct input is for use with a Hi-Z instrument, etc. The Tilt tone control works with both the Mic in and DI, and has it's own Tilt EQ In switch, which is a hardwire bypass switch when out. When turned up, the Tilt control has a 0 to 6dB boost on the high end while cutting the low end the same amount. If turned down, Tilt will boost the low end up to 6dB and cut the high end up to 6dB. The front-panel XLR is multed to the rear-panel XLR, and is also multed to the D-Sub Input on the rear of the V4 Roadster 500-series rack. The Insert Return input of the V4 is a resistor-isolated mic-level input that can be used when the MP5A is in a live recording situation and there is no splitter. It will bridge the mic line with 10x the impedance to minimize loading the microphone. Included with the MP5A Mic Pre is the ability to PFL (Pre Fader Listen) the output to an external amplifier or to the mixer/master section for previewing the signal directly off the mic pre output.

Grace Design M201 Microphone Preamp $2375 The Grace Design m201 Microphone Preamp delivers unmatched audio performance, with massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and a very open, musical character. The signal path has been hot-rodded to be fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in a wider dynamic range, while high-current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. The rackmountable m201 mic preamp translates a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded.A ribbon mic mode is now included, which shifts the gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, bypassing the decoupling capacitors and optimizing the input impedance. Each channel has an 'input mode' rotary switch which selects between a standard 48V phantom input, ribbon mic mode, a front panel DI input or optional DPA high voltage inputs (130V or 190V). Included is a M + S (mid side) decoder circuitry with a built-in width control. The front panel width control is wired with a precision 12 position rotary switch which provides a range from 100% mid (mono) to 30% mid / 70% side. The ultra-precision summing and difference amplifiers feed a set of dedicated outputs, which allows simultaneous recording of discrete mid and side signals as well as the stereo matrix.The front panel mounted HI-Z inputs are designed to accommodate a wide variety of high impedance input sources, making the m201 preamplifier an excellent choice as a DI box which will flawlessly preserve the sound of any plugged-in instrument. Imagine the same resolution and detail as Grace Design microphone preamplifiers available for DI recording situations. Additionally, Grace Design will be offering the m201 with a state-of-the-art 24-bit/192kHz A/D converter option (retrofitable), rounding the m201 off as the ultimate transparent input solution for any recording facility.(Sold separately)Redesigned, fully balanced, transformerless designDual parallel XLR outputs for each channelRibbon mic modeFront panel DI / instrument inputsDPA microphones 130V (190V) phantom power optionBuilt in M+S decoder with dedicated outputs and front panel width controlOptional reference quality 24-bit/192 kHz A/D converter section available late 2007Precision 24 position gold contact rotary switch gain controlsHigher current outputs drive even longer cable runsNo electrolytic capacitors in the signal pathSealed gold contact relays for all signal switchingLarge two color, bi-phase LED peak indicatorRegulated linear power supply with custom wound toroidal transformerHighest quality components used throughoutFive year warranty on parts and labor

Grace Design M101 Microphone Preamp $685 In 2000, the Grace Design model 101 microphone preamp helped fuel a revolution. When people took professional recording into their own hands, it was there with all of the quality and performance of a high-end mic preamplifier, but with a price that made it available to the masses. Eight years later, and the cause moves forward with the newly redesigned m101 preamp.Maintaining Grace Design pedigree throughout, the m101 employs balanced, transformerless, transimpedance circuit topology. With incredible bandwidth and headroom, the m101 is natural, musical and detailed, allowing engineers and musicians to consistently record vibrant, amazing tracks.The m101 is equipped with a redesigned universal switching power supply that's dead quiet and accepts input voltages from 100 to 240V AC. The front panel is a tough black anodized/laser etched black, which ensures legibility and usability in varying light conditions. And all preamp functions have a dedicated indicator LED, including the 48V phantom power and HPF switch.Built in as standard is Grace's unique Ribbon Mic Mode, which bypasses the input decoupling capacitors, raises the input impedance from 8.1k to 20k, and defeats the 48V phantom power, preventing damage to delicate ribbon mic elements. Ribbon mics, you're welcome.The gain range is 10-75dB, including the additional +10dB of gain available with the output trim control. This provides ample gain for use of any type of microphone in any recording situation. The gain control is a precision gold-plated, 12-position switch, and the circuit path is built with 0.5% metal film resistors.Included is a HI-Z input on the front panel. Rear panel I/O options include both balanced TRS and unbalanced TS 1/4" outputs, along with the standard XLR balanced out and XLR microphone in.Equally at home amplifying a vintage condenser mic or a plugged-in acoustic guitar, the m101 delivers the kind of high fidelity performance previously available only to big budget recording studios and Grammy winning musicians. Add it all up while considering that the price is unmatched and the picture becomes pretty clear the m101 is one little hot rod piece of pro audio gear for everyone from home recording enthusiast to top professional.Note: For a truly outstanding sound and value, we suggest using the Grace m1011 with the CAD e300 condenser mic (see (#271261) for amazingly clear and detailed, yet warm-sounding vocals.Fast and musical transimpedance architectureUpdated audio path with 0.5% precision metal film resistorsNew 12 position gold-plated rotary gain switchHigh performance output line driver amplifier and HPF amplifierRibbon mic mode (also great for dynamic mics)- Relay bypass of phantom power decoupling capacitors, increased input impedance, and 48V lockoutWider 10-75dB gain rangeEnhanced RFI interference suppressionThree output connectors: XLR balanced, TRS balanced and 1/4" unbalancedBombproof laser-etched black anodized front panelSealed gold contact relay for Hi-Z i

Music Gear for The Composer

Music composers of the latest generation are no longer limited to just a keyboard, mixer, or specialty synthesizer to compose. Today a variety of gears is available in the market for composers to compose and program their music piece. However, as a composer of music one should remember that the music gear does not produce the music, you do.

The latest music gear for composers that are available on the market are friendlier than ever and easier to play. In modern keyboards the composer will find hundreds, even thousands of instruments all tweaked and ready for their specific applications. The music composer that is looking for drum beats can easily choose from a variety of Techno, rhythm and blues, Hip Hop, Country, Orchestral. They are all stored there in the sound bank ready on the press of GO.

Earlier in the days when the musicians used midi, they had to work very hard to get these sounds. Today the modern sound gears not only make the work easier but also produce great sound quality. Today, the gears are quieter and possess no hisses and hums. At the same time they usually have good support online with free patches and even operating systems which can be easily downloaded by the musician. The latest music gear is more reliable than the older gear.

For the first time, musicians can stop worrying about power supplies dying and battery backed Ram failing. Most manufacturers now produce gears that go through the process of more than two decades of research and development. The effort really shows.

However, composers should remember that high end gears require high end backup gear. Those musicians who are tight on the budget should keep that in mind. If you have invested in an expensive condenser microphone you cannot get away with a low quality pre-amp.

However, the recent few years have brought such tremendous advances to sound quality that the heavy line between pro gear and home gear is getting thinner. To get to higher sound quality you must have great preamps, converters, monitors, good microphones and an excellent sounding room.

As a music composer you can also face input output disasters with your music gear that can leave you irritated. You can avoid all these by just knowing what you have and where you actually are having the problem.

The next step is to identify your goals. If you have a two input soundcard and want to record the whole band where everyone has a track,. as a music composer you may think it is not possible. You go ahead and invest in a twenty-four track mixer only to realize that it too has only two inputs only.
