The M-1 mic preamps are among the finest mic preamps in the world. They provide the accuracy and transparency that is missing in other mic preamps. No matter what your application, they 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.
