101:

The model 101 is the highly desirable, yet surprisingly affordable single serving of the critically acclaimed Grace Design microphone preamplifier. It uses the same fast, musical transimpedance amplifier architecture as our venerable models 801 and 201, but is packaged and priced to be within the reach of any recording engineer, musician, or studio.

The model 101 maintains Grace Design pedigree throughout. It employs our fully balanced, transformerless, transimpedance circuit topology and has no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path. With incredible bandwidth, headroom and resolution, the model 101 is remarkably natural, musical and detailed. It is also available with an extended gain range input (20-70dB), designed for gain-hungry ribbon microphones.

The included instrument DI input is designed to accommodate a wide variety of high impedance input sources, making the moldel 101 an excellent choice as a DI box which will flawlessly preserve the sound of any plugged-in instrument. Imagine the same resolution and detail as our microphone preamplifiers available for DI recording situations. Lackluster sounding instrument pickups become alive with clarity and detail.

To top it off, the model 101 is thoroughly rugged and road worthy, so discerning live performers can use it to achieve studio quality sound with their live performance setups. It is rack mountable in a standard 1U rack tray, and two units happily nest side by side in one rack space.

Equally at home amplifying a vintage condenser mic or an acoustic guitar, the model 101 delivers the kind of high fidelity performance previously available only to big budget recording studios and Grammy winning musicians and engineers. This is hands down the ultimate single channel microphone preamplifier available for under $1,000.

201:

After 12 years in production, the model 201 has been discontinued to make way for its successor, the m201. The m201 will deliver the same transparent, musical performance as its predecessor with many useful new features, including ribbon mic mode, front panel HI-Z inputs, option DPA 130V inputs. Please stay tuned for more information regarding this soon to be released mic preamplifier.

Presenting the model 201 microphone preamplifier- Using the same critically acclaimed circuitry as the model 801 microphone preamplifier, the model 201 delivers the same stunning audio performance in a two-channel package. The model 201's immaculate circuit topology and carefully selected electronic components combine to create a microphone preamplifier of unsurpassed quality.

The model 201 uses our fully balanced, transformerless design, with a fast, musical transimpedance amplifier architecture. No electrolytic capacitors are present in the signal path and its high current output section is able to drive extremely long cable runs (up to 1500 feet) and loads down to 50 Ohms.

The signal path is more than simply transparent or neutral; it is an invisible link between your microphone and recorder. So after your careful microphone selection and placement, you can be confident that what your microphone hears is what your recorder will capture. While possesing some of the finest technical specifications in the industry, the real achievement is that the model 201 is among the most detailed, musical and natural sounding microphone preamplifiers available.

In the world class production facility, remote truck, concert hall or project studio, the model 201 faithfully delivers both reference quality tracks and total reliability.

801:

Introduced in 1995, the model 801 microphone preamplifier was slightly ahead of its time. But as digital audio workstations flooded the industry, an accompanying high performance 8 channel mic preamplifier suddenly made perfect sense. So the model 801 quickly became an industry standard which remains inimitable and unsurpassed.

So eleven years later, with a nearly flawless service record and an endless supply of critical acclaim, the model 801 gets a much deserved update, including an updated audio path, a new chassis forged of stainless steel and a slightly new name: the m801.

The new m801 delivers unmatched audio performance – with massive headroom and ultra-wide bandwidth which contribute to a markedly open, musical character. The m801 is designed to effortlessly resolve even the lowest level ambient information, resulting in a sonic picture of astonishing clarity and detail, which serves to capture the essential character of the music being recorded.

The m801’s signal path has been hot-rodded to be fully balanced from start to finish, resulting in wider dynamic range, while new higher current output drivers enable even longer cable runs without signal loss. Included on each channel is a dedicated ribbon microphone switch, which shifts the preamplifier’s entire gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power and bypassing the decoupling capacitors. And we’ve added an additional set of 8 channel balanced outputs for sending signals to a secondary recorder, workstation or console.

While its predecessor now takes its place in pro audio history, the new m801 faithfully furthers the tradition of breathtaking audio performance and perfect reliability in a beautiful and functional 8 channel package.
