 The
microphone preamps provided on the two mono channels and two of the

packaged separately. These are highperformance head amplifiers that
will bring out the best in any dynamic or condenser microphone.

processing to individual channels as required.

provided on all input channels are one more sonic tool you can use to create

switchable high-pass filter that can be used to cut out unwanted low-frequency
noise.
