GML Microphone Preamplifiers are world renowned for their life-like realism, high resolving power, and reference-standard transparency. Why? Their all-discrete, bipolar transistor circuit topologies are completely transformerless with no FET's, IC's, or electrolytic capacitors in the signal path. Even the outputs are direct-coupled; time-proven active servos remove DC without adding any artificial color. 15dB to 70dB of Gain is front panel selectable in accurate 5dB steps. A +24dBv CLIP indicator warns of any impending overloads and switchable phantom powering is built in.

The 8302 two-channel mic pre (as well as the 8304 four-channel version) fits compactly in only 1U of rack space, and requires the external GML 8355 Power Supply.

Transformerless circuits
The 8302's all-discrete, bipolar transistor circuit topologies are completely transformerless with no FETs, ICs, or electrolytic capacitors in the signal path. Even the outputs are direct-coupled; proven active servos remove DC without adding any artificial color.

15dB to 70dB input gain for any sound source
From 15dB up to a whopping 70dB of amplification, the 8302's input gain is selectable in precise 5dB steps. It accommodates all sources from low output ribbon mics through semi-pro keyboards to inserts in super hot mastering chains with one knob. A +24dBv CLIP indicator warns of any impending overloads and switchable phantom powering is built in.
