GML 8302 Series II has been reconfigured with front-panel-mounted phantom power and phase reverse switches and the +48v phantom supply has been completely redesigned
GML Microphone Preamplifiers are world-renowned for their life-like realism, high resolving power, and reference-standard transparency. The Series II models are available as 2 channel "8302" and 4 channel "8304" versions. Our continuing research and review of up-to-date componentry maintains the legendary transparency that we're well-known for. The GML 8302 and the 8304 Series II have been reconfigured with front-panel-mounted phantom power and phase reverse switches, and the +48v phantom supply has been completely redesigned resulting in lower noise. Their all-discrete, bipolar transistor circuit topologies are completely transformerless with no FETs, ICs,or electrolytic capacitors in the signal path. Even the outputs are direct-coupled with time-proven active servos that remove DC without adding any artificial color. 10dB to 65dB of gain is front panel selectable on the front panel in precise 5dB steps. A +24dBv clip indicator warns of any impending overloads. Both GML 8302 and 8304 will occupy 1U rack space. Both versions ship with an external power supply (GML Model 8355) and a 5pin XLR power cable. As always the model 8302 can be upgraded up to 4 channels later on.
A two-channel version of a classic
The GML8302 Two-Channel Microphone Preamplifier expands upon the time-tested 8300 Mic Pre, world renowned for its life-like realism, high resolving power, and reference-standard transparency. Whether you use it for recording or in a live performance situation that demands ultimate performance, the 8302 will deliver pristine sound with flexible control. Affordably priced, the 8302 is hand built and calibrated in limited production quantities using selected components.And all in a 1U rackmount case!
Transformerless circuits
The 8302's all-discrete, bipolar transistor circuit topologies are completely transformerless with no FETs, ICs, or electrolytic capacitors in the signal path. Even the outputs are direct-coupled; proven active servos remove DC without adding any artificial color.
15dB to 70dB input gain for any sound source
From 15dB up to a whopping 70dB of amplification, the 8302's input gain is selectable in precise 5dB steps. It accommodates all sources from low output ribbon mics through semi-pro keyboards to inserts in super hot mastering chains with one knob. A +24dBv CLIP indicator warns of any impending overloads and switchable phantom powering is built in.
