Undertone Audio MPDI-4 Four Channel Microphone Preamp and DI
Extreme Flexibility
The MPDI-4 is as musical as it is powerful and flexible. It features 4 individual Mic Preamp/DI circuits housed in a single 1RU chassis. With bypass-able transformers, switchable output headroom, and adjustable THD characteristics, the sound of the MPDI-4 can range from astonishingly pristine to warm, thick, and harmonically colorful. It may well be the only preamp that is truly perfect for every situation!
Class A, with or without transformers
The MPDI-4 grew out of the Class A console Eric Valentine and Larry Jasper built in 2007. Two things from that project make it possible: a Class A amplifier design that is as efficient as Class A/B, and high-voltage transistors with enough headroom that every transformer can be bypassed.
With the input and output transformers engaged, you get the familiar sound of a vintage Class A preamp in the tradition of EMI, Helios and Neve. Bypass them and the preamp runs transformerless and fully Class A, a strikingly pristine sound suited to classical, orchestral, jazz and film score recording.
