Rane MS 1B Datasheet

Data Sheet-

MS 1b

MICROPHONE STAGE

General Description

The Rane MS 1b Mic Stage preamplifier 

provides the answer when you need just 

one microphone input in an otherwise 

line-level world. Give us a call to go from 

either a dynamic, condenser or electret 

microphone to a line-level input with a 

minimum of noise, distortion, cost and 

hassle.

The MS 1b provides 48 V switchable 

Phantom Power with indicator LED, 

continuous rotary Gain trim between 18 

dB and 66 dB, Signal/Overload LED, and 

XLR balanced Input & Output connec-

tors. A Polarity switch and high-current 

cross-coupled output line driver round out 

the features.

The MS 1b utilizes one of the finest 

ultra low noise amplifier designs available. 

Featuring a true differential input with 

high common-mode rejection, use of the 

MS 1b guarantees performance usually 

found only in mixing consoles costing 

thousands of times as much. Of course, 

for all of that extra money you receive a 

proportional increase in KPSI (knobs per 

square inch).
