Preamplificatore microfonico a controllo digitale
- Sette circuiti in un'unica unità
- Rumore bassissimo e guadagno a gradini
- DI box integrata
- Filtro passa-alto colorato
- Inversione di fase
- CompSat, Enfasi e controllo Mix
Nell'era di DAW e plug-in, Mike-E è la soluzione per ottenere un segnale pulito e forte ma allo stesso tempo caldo e musicale, con un pannello frontale talmente lineare da risultare immediato anche per i meno esperti. È un preamplificatore microfonico accoppiato a trasformatore ad alte prestazioni, con rumore di fondo ben al di sotto di quello di qualsiasi microfono, abbinato a un circuito compressore/saturatore unico che replica molte delle migliori caratteristiche delle apparecchiature analogiche vintage.
Preamplificatore
Sezione d'ingresso a trasformatore a bassissimo rumore con guadagno a controllo digitale a gradini, insensibile all'usura tipica di potenziometri e commutatori. Un LED "Bad!" segnala il sovraccarico del circuito.
CompSat
- Saturator: circuito soft-clipping multistadio: ai livelli bassi il segnale è saturato da un triodo, a livelli più alti un secondo circuito appiattisce i picchi.
- Compressor: basato sul Distressor, con attacco più lungo; rapporti 2:1, 4:1, 8:1 e Nuke.
- Emphasis: circuito a due stadi che enfatizza le alte frequenze prima del CompSat e le riequilibra dopo, migliorando il rapporto segnale/rumore come nei registratori a nastro.

- Distorsione: da 0,0006% a 15%

About Empirical Labs
Empirical Labs is a US-based company founded in 1989 by Dave Derr, headquartered in New Jersey, and specialized in the design and manufacture of professional audio signal processing equipment. Their first product, the Distressor, developed starting in 1994 and marketed from 1996, represented the starting point of the brand’s production and defined its approach to the design of original analog processors. Over the years, Empirical Labs has expanded its range with compressors, dynamics processors, microphone preamplifiers, equalizers, and processors dedicated to saturation and the simulation of analog behavior, including the FATSO, Mike-E, Lil FrEQ, and DerrEsser. The company also develops plug-ins and DSP software, including Arousor, and manufactures its devices in the United States, subjecting them to manual calibration and testing.
