Mercury Recording Equipment Co. will introduce the new Mercury M76m studio microphone amplifier at
the upcoming 117th AES Convention in San Francisco. Designed and built in the
tradition of the highly regarded Telefunken Studio-Mikrofonversarker V76m of
the late 1950s and early '60s, the dual-channel Mercury M76m features
all-tube and all-transformer circuitry and adds several features not found
on the original classic.
New features include a high/low impedance select and an output fader, which
take the M76m a step beyond the original classic. Front panel
features also include stepped input attenuation (Gain) 0 to 60dB, backlit
illumination for gain like the original, as well as 0 to 10dB fine gain,
phase reverse, a direct input connection and 48V phantom power on/off.
With classic audio processors such as those originally made by Fairchild,
Pultec, and Telefunken/Siemens now difficult to find, expensive to buy, and
costly to maintain, Mercury Recording Equipment Co. is dedicated to bringing
the sonic and aesthetic character of those devices to new generations
through an expanding line of hand-crafted classic recreations. Incorporating
similar circuitry, tubes, custom transformers, and design ideas to the
originals, all Mercury Recording Equipment Co. products are hand-wired using
silver solder, are fully transformer balanced, and feature a distinctive
vintage look with powder coating or baked enamel finish with engraved
lettering.
MSRP
is $4,999. For more information, visit their web site at www.mercury-rec.com. |
