Prism Maselec MMA-4 Four Channel Mic Pre

"Extreme transparency" is something many mic pre manufacturers try to dazzle potential customers with when in fact their mic pres are either far, far from it or so lifeless and dull the only way they could get away with releasing such a wreck they call it "transparent". Only two mic pres in our shop can truly claim the "extreme transparency" title; the GML 8300 series and the Prism Maselec MMA-4. If you are looking for pristine, dare we say scientifically clean yet still quite musical, mic pres either one will do the job very well.

Prism Maselec MMA-4 features

The MMA-4 has been designed as an audiophile pre-amplifier with a minimum of electronics in the signal path. Design objectives included consistently good sound over the whole range of gain settings, a high level of transparency and ultra-low noise and distortion.

The MMA-4 was developed in association with engineer/producer Leif Mases. Leif's work with a diverse range of artists including Abba, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath is demonstrated by the MMA-4's design with the engineer in mind.
