![]() So it is with gratitude and fond remembrance that we roll the last model 801 off the line, but with great excitement and pride that we welcome its successor – the m801.” We never quite expected the model 801 to be as successful as it became - it was just something that we thought was a good, timely idea. We began building an 8 channel mic preamplifier 12 years ago because we needed it for our own critical, purist multi-track recording needs - for which there was nothing available at that time. Included on each preamp channel is a dedicated ribbon microphone switch, which shifts the preamplifier’s entire gain range up 10dB while deactivating 48V phantom power, optimizing input impedance and bypassing the coupling capacitors.Ĭommenting on the release of the m801, Michael Grace and Eben Grace noted “For us, necessity has always been the mother of invention. With its increased output current capability, the m801 can drive audio lines that can reach upwards of 1,500 feet without audio quality loss. The signal path of the m801 is fully balanced from start to finish which provides a dynamic range improvement of up to 3dB over that of the model 801. Both sets of analog outputs (16 outputs) can be used simultaneously. The m801 features 8 balanced mic level inputs on female XLR connectors, 8 balanced line level outputs on male XLR connectors and an additional 8 balanced line level outputs on male XLR connectors. The m801 enclosure shares the same industrial design as our reference monitoring products and the m802 8-channel, remote controlled preamp. The m801 preamp is comprised of two components the 2U, 19” rack mount 8-channel preamp and an external 1U, half width linear power supply. Designed for audio professionals in the music recording, film scoring, live sound and fixed installation markets, the m801 represents a new standard in capabilities and performance for multi-channel mic preamps. Now 12 years later, the company has unveiled its successor: the m801. Grace Design first introduced its award winning model 801 8 channel studio preamplifier in 1994.
