MPE-200 Microphone Preamplifier / Equalizer
"I love the sound - I would say it has that elusive 'magic' quality that makes everything sound better." -- Andrew

The MPE-200 is the first product in the Element 78 line of Class A solid state signal processing units from Summit Audio. The MPE-200 features two channels of microphone preamp and two channels of parametric EQ, all discrete class A transformer coupled, designed by Summit Audio with Mr. Rupert Neve. Add to the incredible sound of these preamps and EQ's the versatility, precision, and control of a digital interface, and the vision of Element 78 is realized: a no-compromise analog signal path combined with an easy-to-use and powerful digital front-end.
