Sonifex RB-MA1

The Sonifex RB-MA1 is a single-channel microphone amplifier designed to elevate mic-level signals to line-level, facilitating long cable runs to mixing equipment. It features electronically balanced XLR input and output connections, with the output configurable for unbalanced operation if required. A recessed gain control allows for precise adjustment of input levels, ranging from 36dB to 75dB, accommodating various microphone sensitivities. The unit includes a switchable 125Hz high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and offers +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, both controlled via rear-panel switches. Housed in a compact, rack-mountable chassis, the RB-MA1 is suitable for both studio and live sound applications, providing a reliable solution for professional audio setups.
