Know before you buy
No, the m108 does not feature built-in phantom power. You will need an external power supply or a different interface if your microphones require 48V phantom power to operate.
The m108 is designed specifically for microphone signals via XLR inputs. It lacks a dedicated instrument DI input, so you would need an external DI box if you plan to plug in guitars or basses.
Yes, the m108 features a dual-channel design, making it an excellent choice for stereo miking techniques like X/Y or spaced pairs.
No, the m108 is a pure, transparent preamp. It does not include onboard EQ, compression, or limiting, as it is designed to provide a clean, uncolored signal path for your DAW or external processors.
The m108 is built with a compact desktop form factor. While it is perfect for saving space on a studio desk or workstation, it is not designed for standard rack mounting.
