When used in conjunction with the LEGEND L10 or L6 500 Series Rackmount Chassis, the MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 502 provides the ideal solution for users seeking the legendary MIDAS sound in a modular format that boasts upgraded, premium-quality performance. Additionally, the 502 module utilises the same swept low and high pass filters found in the iconic XL4 Live Performance Mixing Console. Award-Winning Mic PreampThe MIDAS Microphone Preamplifier is considered by leading live sound and recording engineers as the very essence of the famous MIDAS sound. Decades of design experience paired with premium-grade components is the foundation of that acclaimed warmth and depth, which brings out subtle ambience, maintains spatial positioning, and more effectively captures a precise sound image. That warm and organic MIDAS sound has been heard by millions of concert goers – and recorded for posterity on countless live albums. The award-winning mic preamplifier in the 502 module has even been upgraded via the implementation of four discrete ultra low noise input transistors for even more transparent and ultra low noise performance. Sweet ForgivenessOver the years, many mix engineers have found this robust and overload-tolerant preamp design takes on a whole new dimension when driven hard. The 502 module’s input stage allows up to +24 dBu signal levels with no pad requirement, while featuring the much loved soft clipping characteristic that provides crystal-clear audiophile reproduction with just the right amount of harmonics. Classic MIDAS XL4 FiltersOur XL4 mixers are legendary for their uncompromising sonic characteristics, impressive versatility, and ease of use. The 502 mic preamp honours that legacy by bringing back the low and high pass filters that helped make the XL4 so popular. The low pass filter control adjusts the filter frequency from 1 kHz to 40 kHz, while the high pass filter control adjusts from 10 Hz to 400 Hz (both -3 dB points). Selectable Balanced OutputsThe default output of the 502 module is the same electronically balanced output you will find on most MIDAS mixing consoles. This configuration provides an extremely clean signal even when operating at very high signal levels. But you also have the option of selecting a discrete transistor-driven transformer balanced output stage by engaging the TX switch. 502’s transformer provides galvanic isolation and generates a more vintage sound, and becomes saturated at lower frequencies to add colour when driven hard. The output levels of the electronic and transformer outputs are matched to allow true A-B comparisons on the fly. Precision LED I/O MeteringA mic preamp of this calibre requires equally accurate I/O metering – and the 502 delivers in a big way. The high precision 11-segment rotary LED meter reads the signal post amplifier/pre fi lter, providing input metering from -20 dBu to + 20 dBu in 4 dB steps. A similar meter is provided for output trim adjustment from -20 dBu to + 20 dBu in 4 dB steps. High Accuracy I/O Rotary ControlsGain control is provided by a large precision 12-position rotary switch with gain settings from 0 (unity gain) to +60 dB in 5 dB increments, while a fully variable potentiometer is provided for the output trim across a ±20 dB range. When used in combination, total maximum gain is an impressive + 80 dB, more than enough to accommodate even low level ribbon microphones. Additionally, the output trim control can be: used to control colouration; set high to allow output transformer saturation (TX switch selected); or turned down to prevent the output level from running too high – and the input gain can be increased to take advantage of the overload tolerant mic amplifier. Illuminated SwitchesAll of the 502 modules push-button switches feature LED illumination when activated for fast and easy status verification. Switches include the low pass filter IN switch, which inserts the low pass filter into the signal path; the high pass filter IN switch, which inserts the high pass filter (both post inputgain/pre output-trim); the phase reverse switch, which inverts signal phase 180°; the 48V switch, which supplies +48 Volts phantom power via the 500 Series Rackmount Chassis; and the output transformer (TX) selector. Add this to the 502’s brilliant metering and you have instant at-a-glance confi rmation of all preamp parameters.Features :Award-winning Midas preamp, enhanced with quad discrete ultra-low-noise input transistorsInput allows up to +24dBu levels with no padFeatures the much-loved Midas pre soft-clipping characteristicClassic Midas XL4 swept lowpass and highpass filters with independent actuation switchesSwitchable electronic or discrete transistor-driven, transformer-balanced output for sonic flexibilityDual precision 11-segment LED circular input and output level meteringHigh-accuracy rotary switch gain control with 60dB range in 5dB stepsOutput gain trim (+/-20dB range) controls input and output stage colorationImpressive gain range (-20dB to +80dB) easily accommodates low-output micsLarge gain trim knobs for precise control of input/output gainIlluminated switches for filters, +48V phantom power, polarity reverse, and electronic/transformer output selectPower-up mute relays prevent switch-on thumpsPremium-quality components throughout for audiophile-grade signal pathDesigned and engineered in the U.K.
