Know before you buy
No, the 32Classic MS is strictly a channel strip focused on preamp gain, EQ, and summing. It does not feature built-in dynamics processing like compression or limiting.
Yes, the units are designed to be cascadable. You can link multiple units together using the serial mix bus inputs and outputs to expand your setup into a larger console-like configuration.
The Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer is known for adding a rich, musical tonal character to your signal. It provides that classic, high-end analog warmth and depth that is often missing from purely digital or transparent solid-state preamps.
Absolutely. It features a combo XLR/jack input and a dedicated Hi-Z impedance switch, making it fully compatible with both microphones and high-impedance instruments like electric guitars or basses.
This high-pass filter includes a resonance control, which allows you to introduce a 3 dB peak at the cutoff frequency. This is useful for adding a bit of punch or 'weight' to the low end while still filtering out unwanted rumble.
Yes, it provides both pre-fader and post-fader XLR outputs. This gives you the flexibility to send a clean signal to your interface while simultaneously monitoring or recording the processed signal with your fader adjustments.
