M S 1S
MICROPHONE STAGE
General Description
e Rane MS 1S Mic Stage preamplier 
provides the answer when you need just 
one microphone input in an otherwise 
line-level world. Give us a call to go from 
either a dynamic, condenser or electret 
microphone to a line-level input with a 
minimum of noise, distortion, cost and 
hassle.
e MS 1S provides 48 V switchable 
Phantom Power with an indicator LED, 
continuous rotary Gain trim between 15 
dB and 60 dB, Signal/Overload LED, and 
XLR balanced Input & Output connec-
tors. A Polarity switch and high-current 
cross-coupled output line driver round out 
the features.
e MS 1S utilizes one of the nest 
ultra low noise amplier designs available. 
Featuring a true dierential input with 
high common-mode rejection, use of the 
MS 1S guarantees performance usually 
found only in mixing consoles costing 
thousands of times as much. Of course, 
for all of that extra money you receive a 
proportional increase in KPSI (knobs per 
square inch).
e MS 1S replaces the MS 1B Mic 
Stage with a new internal universal power 
supply. e width increases by one inch, 
all other features are the same.
