Using the 68MP's simple but useful 3-LED meter system you can quickly identify the sensible operating levels of the unit. Alongside the meter section is a polarity inverter, -20dB pad, a high-pass filter that is set at 12dB\/octave slope at 120Hz and a toggle to enable the instrument input. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all of Rogers 500-Series modules, the 68MP runs on internal 48v rails, stepped up from the standard 32v 500-series supply for greater headroom. Unusually for a modern design, 48V phantom power is always available; there’s no on\/off switch. By using an input transformer rather than the [electronically balanced] op‑amp approach, the 68MP can safely provide phantom power without the engineer having to engage it; it’s how all of his console designs operated ‘back in the day’ at Olympic and Electric Lady studios, and he considers it to be perfectly safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoger Mayer RM 68MP Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Era Analogue Microphone Pre-Amplifier Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete Ultra Low Noise Class A Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra Wide Bandwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast Scan Unique 3 Band Sample and Hold LED Metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Hand Wound Ferrite Input Transformer for fully isolated balanced input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 way stepped Microphone Gain Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 way stepped Output Gain Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Panel Instrument Input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 degree Phase Reversal Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-15Db Pad Switch for Microphone or Instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Pass FIlter 12Db\/Octave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple Shielded 6 layer PC Card construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra low noise 48v Phantom Supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Roger Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":55091355320694,"sku":"SROM68MP500","price":695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/files\/68MP-500_0000s_0002_RM_68MP_Front.jpg?v=1734453240"},{"product_id":"roger-mayer-456hd-500-x-500-series-tape-emulation-processor-wi","title":"Roger Mayer 456HD-500 X - 500 Series Tape Emulation Processor with Transformer Balanced Input \u0026 Output","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRoger Mayer 456HD-500 X - 500 Series Tape Emulation Processor with Transformer Balanced Input \u0026amp; Output\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoger Mayer 456HD-500X\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a tape emulation processor in 500-series format from the British engineer, Roger Mayer.
