TRANSFORMER-COUPLED ULN-2 OPTION NOW AVAILABLE
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 2007: Building upon the acclaimed sound
quality of the ULN-2, Metric Halo has developed a Jensen Transformer-based
front-end option for the ultra-low noise, ultra-high gain stereo mic pre.
Widely regarded for its pristine, wire-like gain, the ULN-2 has established
itself as one of the best values in the professional audio industry. The
ULN-2 provides virtually every characteristic that is coveted in a mic
preamp: exceptionally low noise at all gains, exceptionally high gain,
excellent common mode and RFI rejection, incredibly flat frequency response,
and ultra-low distortion. It simply increases the level of what you put into
it without having to consider the nature of the source: dynamic mics,
phantom powered mics, ribbon mics, instrument or line level signals are all
handled with equal ease and quality.
According to Joe Buchalter, president of Metric Halo, "The ULN-2 is an
incredibly good mic pre, but sometimes you want something that isn't quite"so pristine" - a certain amount of low-order harmonic distortion has a way
of adding "depth" and "sheen" to everything that passes through it, thus the
high regard applied to classic transformer coupled preamps. With the
transformer option installed, the ULN-2 acquires that classic character. A
second benefit is that the transformer completely electrically isolates the
preamp from the source, raising the common mode rejection above its already
excellent performance, and providing a measure of confidence when dealing
with the unknowns of location sound."
The Jensen Transformer option is available pre-installed from the factory
for an additional US $800. It may also be factory installed on existing
ULN-2 units for US $850.
Based New York's Hudson Valley, Metric Halo provides the world with
high-resolution metering, analysis, recording and processing solutions with
award-winning software and hardware.
