Fall in love with your vinyl again!
Hot on the heels of the Drawmer MC2.1 well known for its functionality and transparency comes its new sibling the MC1.1 Monitor Preamp, offering the same fantastic sound but with a revised feature set more suitable for a less complex post production booth or home use where multiple speaker setups are not permissible or even required, and with the addition of a new RIAA phono stage the MC1.1 is a great solution for your precious turntable setup.
Not only has the MC1.1 been developed with the serious musician and engineer in mind, allowing you to monitor your personal workstation with complete accuracy, transparency and the ability to faithfully reproduce what has been recorded, the MC1.1 has also been designed for music lovers. As well as being able to connect your MP3 player, iPod or smartphone, you can also enjoy the warmth that only vinyl brings via the integrated RIAA phono stage. It takes just seconds - connect a turntable and active speakers or headphones to bring your vinyl collection to life.
.....It really is that good — and it did all I needed it to do: I could hear everything I expected and needed to hear, and it performed flawlessly.
The front panel is dominated by the two large, independent volume controls for the main line outs and the headphone amplifier, both incorporate a paralleled custom quad pot for excellent channel matching and the smoothest possible action. There are also individual switches for each input source and output section making an elegantly simple yet functional user interface.
Whilst being smart and stylish the rugged enclosure will withstand the knocks and bumps of the studio, and, coupled with the high quality components used, the MC1.1 is built to last.
The MC1.1 can be rack mount using the option rack kit. The MCB Rack Mounting Kit contains two side panels/ears, a front facia, and also a lead that brings the AUX input from the back of the MC1.1 to the front panel for easy access. Also included are the necessary screws, an assembly instruction manual and even an allen key.
