The Yamaha MLA8 is an eight-channel microphone and line preamplifier unit in a 1U rack-mountable format. Inheriting head amp technology from Yamaha's DM2000 digital mixing console, it provides outstanding sonic quality with breathtaking clarity. Each channel features a 26 dB pad, adjustable 44 dB gain trim, 80 Hz high-pass filter, and phantom power. Input connections are via XLR, while outputs are provided through both Euroblock terminals and D-sub 25-pin connectors for optimal routing flexibility.
