Martinsound Introduces Discount Price
For Martech MSS-10 Mic Preamp
 January 29, 2000
Martinsound, Inc. announces a special discount price
for their Martech MSS-10 'Natural Sound' microphone preamplifier. The
retail price has been reduced to $1,995.
Joe
Martinson, president of Martinsound, says, "The 'Natural Sound' of
the MSS-10 goes far beyond the quality of tube and discrete units, introducing
a new category of microphone preamplifier that is in a class by itself.
We want more people to be able to experience 'Natural Sound' and are therefore
very pleased that the higher than anticipated sales have allowed us to
make the MSS-10 more affordable to customers."
The MSS-10 comprises two stages of non-inverting amplification. The
microphone preamplifier provides 20dB to 65dB of gain, switchable in precise
5dB steps. A 20dB pad, phase reverse (in fact, polarity reversal at the
input XLR) and +48V phantom power switching is included.
The secondary line driver offers additional level adjustment from µ
to +10dB of gain. Its source may be selected from either the microphone
preamplifier or a separate balanced line input. Mic/line and mute switches
are provided. A CAL switch bypasses the line level control to provide
a unity gain output. A professional, full-size VU meter indicates level
at the line output.
The MSS-10 earned its 'Natural Sound' description as a result of many
months of evaluation and extensive listening tests down to component level,
and has been designed to produce exceptional resolution and musicality.
The input transformer and discrete transistor gain blocks were designed
and custom-built when commercially available electronics failed to meet
the rigorous standards required. Capacitors have been completely eliminated
from the audio path, while custom private-label capacitors are used in
other areas.
