AWARD-WINNING DAKING MIC PRE ONE

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 2008: TransAudio Group, the worldwide distributor for Geoffrey Daking and Company, Inc., announces the introduction of the high-performance Daking Mic-Pre One single-channel microphone/instrument preamplifier.

At the recent AES Convention in San Francisco, the Mic-Pre One received Pro Audio Review's PAR Excellence Award The award is based on a unanimous vote by the editorial staff for the publication while previewing new products during the trade exhibition.

Sharing the gain structure and Class A, fully-discrete transistor circuitry design of the popular Daking Mic-Pre IV, the Mic-Pre One additionally features a unique variable high-pass filter and ships in a freestanding 'DI-style' steel enclosure, ensuring both strength and noise immunity. Essentially a single channel of the Mic-Pre IV, the Mic-Pre One features switchable phase, 20dB mic input pad and +48V phantom power, plus a selectable 1/4-inch line/hi-z instrument input, all utilizing relays with gold bi-furcated contacts. A unique feature, the Variable High Pass Filter (0-200Hz) offers a higher level of low-end control for recording. Two large knurled aluminum knobs control the variable high-pass filter and continuously variable 70dB of input gain, which is complemented by a full-width, twenty-segment bi-color LED meter. The rear of the unit offers a Jensen transformer-isolated mic input and fully-balanced XLR output, plus a 1/4-inch line output. A fourth connector introduces DC power from the external power supply to the unit.

Pro Audio Review (PAR) magazine awarded the new Yamaha LS9 console with its PAR Excellence Award during this year's AES show in San Francisco. The award winners are based on the unanimous vote by the editorial staff of PAR while previewing new products during the trade exhibition.

Noted Brad Lunde, president of TransAudio Group, "This Mic-Pre One is the very definition of value - a Daking-designed, Southern California-manufactured, high-end mic pre for those who only need one channel. It's ideal for pros on tour, studios that seek to locate the mic pre in the vocal booth or computer users seeking one high-end input channel. Even small project studios on a budget can now use the same thing as the pros."

TransAudio Group, founded by industry veteran Brad Lunde, has quickly become the premier U.S. importer/distributor and/or U.S. sales and marketing representative for high-end audio. Success hinges on TransAudio providing dealers and end users with a higher standard of product expertise and support far beyond the norm.
