Like the updated m801mk2, the newly redesigned Grace Design m201 Mk2 delivers the same exceptional audio performance, offering massive headroom, ultra-wide bandwidth and an open, musical character. Its fully balanced signal path has been refined to achieve remarkable dynamic range, while a newly designed power supply ensures the lowest noise performance to date. These improvements allow the Grace Design m201 Mk2 to capture sound with astonishing clarity and detail, preserving the essence of the music being recorded.
The latest design streamlines the Grace Design m201 Mk2, focusing on pure, high-performance microphone preamplification. The A/D option has been removed, as this function is now best handled by the Grace Design m108 8-channel mic preamp with integrated conversion.
Other refinements include the removal of the M+S matrix and select additional features, allowing for a more focused and purist approach to a two-channel mic preamp.
These refinements also make the Grace Design m201 Mk2 more accessible, offering Grace Design’s flagship microphone preamp performance at a more affordable price. It enhances the full potential of any microphone collection, bringing out the true character of large-diaphragm condensers with added detail and texture.
Dynamic microphones gain newfound clarity and responsiveness, while ribbon microphones benefit from the exclusive ribbon mic mode, which shifts the gain range up by 10dB, disables 48V phantom power, bypasses the decoupling capacitors, and optimises input impedance.
The Grace Design m201 Mk2 is available from authorised Grace Design dealers and is backed by a 20-year EON transferable warranty.
