The Aphex Model 1788A is a premium 8-channel remote controlled microphone preamplifier with sophisticated features. Remote control means the preamps can be located anywhere they are needed for optimum performance. By locating 1788A’s just off-stage, near the microphones for example, many difficulties can easily be overcome such as long mic lines picking up noise and RF interference; capacitance of long mic lines degrading the high end response; mic splitters dumping multiple loads onto the mic knocking down output level and making mics sound dull and lifeless.
