  • Microphone Preamplifier 502

    Microphone Preamplifier 502

    MIDAS

    The MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 502 brings the award-winning Midas microphone preamp to the 500 Series format, available as an add-on to any mobile or recording system when used with the LEGEND L10, L6, or other standard 500 Series rackmount chassis. Considered by leading live sound and recording engineers as the very essence of the famous Midas sound, the preamp has been upgraded with four discrete ultra low noise input transistors and retains the soft clipping characteristic that provides crystal-clear audiophile reproduction with just the right amount of harmonics. The 502 also honours the legacy of the XL4 console by bringing back its swept low and high pass filters. A 12-position rotary switch sets gain from 0 to +60 dB in 5 dB increments, while a fully variable output trim potentiometer adds another ±20 dB of range for up to +80 dB of total gain. The input stage accepts signal levels up to +24 dBu without requiring a pad. Outputs are electronically balanced by default, with a switchable transformer-balanced output (TX) for additional tonal character.

  • Microphone Preamplifier 502 V2

    Microphone Preamplifier 502 V2

    MIDAS

    The MICROPHONE PREAMPLIFIER 502 V2 is the award-winning Midas microphone preamp delivered as a 500 Series add-on module for mobile or recording systems, particularly designed for use with the LEGEND L10 or L6 500 Series Rackmount Chassis. The V2 iteration upgrades the original 502 with four discrete ultra low-noise input transistors, retaining the legendary Midas sound while extending dynamic range. The input stage accepts signal levels up to +24 dBu with soft clipping, gain is set via a 12-position rotary switch from 0 to +60 dB in 5 dB increments, and a ±20 dB output trim potentiometer brings total maximum gain to +80 dB. Twin balanced outputs (main and an auxiliary TX output) feed independent destinations, with illuminated push-button switches handling low-pass and high-pass filter engagement, phase reverse, 48 V phantom power, and TX output routing. Variable low-pass (1 kHz–40 kHz, -3 dB) and high-pass (10 Hz–400 Hz, -3 dB) filters provide on-module shaping, and 11-segment rotary LED meters monitor input and output levels.
