Adjustable Impedance for Optimal Performance
To optimise the interaction between condenser, ribbon, and dynamic microphones, the G4M 500 Series Preamp offers adjustable impedance options of 300 and 1200 ohms. The ability to ensure precise impedance matching offers improved sonic performance for the best possible results.
Enhanced Connectivity
The G4M 500 Series Preamp also offers DI functionality that allows you to connect instruments directly to the preamp. The front-panel DI input offers a choice between active and passive modes, making it effortless to connect and alternate between instruments like guitars, bass, electric pianos and synths.
Pad Function for Attenuation Control
The preamp includes a pad function with incremental 5dB steps, allowing you to attenuate the input signal up to 10 dB. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with high-output sources, preventing clipping or distortion that could compromise recordings.
G4M 500 Series Compressor
At a Glance LEDs
The three LEDs featured on the module indicate whether the signal is below or above the threshold at all times, allowing users to easily monitor the compression effect in real-time. Additionally, they also help engineers identify if the signal is clipping, enabling them to take corrective measures and prevent unwanted distortion from compromising the integrity of their signal.
Versatile Compression
With a choice of ultra-transparent 1:1 compression to an extreme 25:1, the G4M 500 Series Compressor provides a wide range of compression ratios to suit various audio requirements. Whether users need subtle levelling or heavy compression for creative sound manipulation, this compressor gives engineers the flexibility to achieve the desired result.
The set-and-forget attack and release switches offer convenience and simplicity in setting up the compressor. By eliminating the need for complex manual adjustment of attack and release times, these switches ensure immediate and easy configuration, allowing users to focus on the creative aspects of audio production.
Tame Undesirable Low-Frequency Content
To address excessive low-frequency content, the G4M 500 Series Compressor includes a high-pass filter with a gentle cut at 100Hz. This feature proves valuable in eliminating unwanted rumble or bass-heavy elements, resulting in a cleaner and more focused sound.
Easily Compare
The A/B referencing switch on the G4M 500 Series Compressor facilitates easy comparison between the compressed and uncompressed audio signal. By engaging or disengaging the compression effect with a simple switch, users can instantly hear the impact of the compression on the signal, allowing them to make informed adjustments.
G4M 500 Series EQ
Surgical Tone Shaping
Engineered with meticulous attention to detail, this EQ unit is equipped with three bands - low, mid, and high - each offering a range of -15dB to +15dB gain. These bands allow users to precisely sculpt their source, enhancing or attenuating specific frequencies as needed.
In addition to the three-band EQ, the G4M 500 Series EQ also includes a high-pass filter that can be adjusted up to 300Hz. This filter serves as a powerful tool to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble or interference from the audio signal, allowing for cleaner and more focused sound reproduction.
Compact Design
Featuring a sleek and robust 500 Series modular format, the G4M EQ seamlessly integrates into any compatible rack system, providing flexible connectivity options and effortless integration with other studio equipment. Its compact design allows for easy installation and allows users to customise their signal chain according to suit their needs.
