John Hardy M-1 Details

The M-1 mic preamp is among the finest mic preamps in the world. It provides the accuracy and transparency that is missing in other mic preamps. No matter what your application, the M-1 Personal Mic Preamp will provide superior sound quality. The world's best input transformer (Jensen JT-16-B), best op-amp (990 discrete op-amp) and the elimination of all capacitors from the signal path combine to provide the highest performance.

The M-1 Personal is a self contained single channel mic preamp. There are two meter options and the best Jensen output transformer (JT-11-BMQ) is also available as an option. The M-1 Personal cannot be expanded to have additional channels like the standard M-1 version.
