All-tube mono recording channel with microphone preamplifier equalizer and compressor



The MEC1A is an all-tube mono recording channel, combining the classic TUBE-TECH designs:
MP1A mic preamp, EQ 1A active EQ and CL2A compressor in one powerful, 2U recording package.

The MEC1A delivers true TUBE-TECH sound: Full and warm, yet open and transparent.

MEC1A is a compact and cost-effective solution if you need a superior front end that will deliver top quality recordings, no matter what source you are working with.
