Description
The MPEQ-1 Microphone Preamp/EQ/DI by Undertone Audio
The UnderTone Audio MPEQ-1 is a high-end analog channel strip that integrates a mic preamp, parametric equalizer, and instrument DI (direct input) into a single 19" 1-U rack unit.
It was designed by UnderTone Audio to give engineers flexible, musical sound shaping with Class-A discrete circuitry and transformer options for both colored and transparent responses.
You can use the mic preamp and EQ together as a channel strip, or separately depending on how you route your signals.
You can route signals to use the EQ independently via “SEP” mode (separate mic pre and EQ usage).
Front-panel combo jack (XLR + 1/4") serves as the instrument DI input.
When a 1/4" cable is plugged in, both mic inputs are disabled and the unit functions as a DI.
Specs:
• Designed for sonic flexibility while still being intuitive to dial in.
• Mic gain range: –10 dB up to –60 dB in stepped 5 dB increments.
• 20 dB pad: switchable attenuation before the mic pre for hot sources.
• Phase reverse: useful for phase alignment in multi-mic setups.
• 48 V phantom power for condenser mics.
• Class-A discrete design with custom input and output transformers optimized for smooth, musical tone.
• Fully parametric equalizer section with multiple bands and variable Q/shape allows shaping of frequencies with precision.
• Bypass-able transformers: choose between transformer-less clarity and transformer-rich vintage character for both input and output.
