The All-In-One Tracking Tool for High Resolution Recording
The Quartet is a modern class A tube design which includes:
The tube Mic/DI Preamp from the MDP-1
The tube Opto-Compressor from the OCL-2 using our proprietary optoelectronic cell
A new three band tube EQ with HI and LO shelving and peaking MID band
A new de-esser design using opto-inductive filtering and a highly selective detector
The Mic/DI, EQ and Compressor/De-Esser can be patched out and used independently.
Transformerless or transformer-balanced main output
Gold-plated switch contacts, I/O connectors and tube sockets
Polypropylene caps and metal film resistors (pairs matched to 0.1%)
Fully regulated high voltage (300V) and filament and bipolar power supplies with soft-start warm-up and output muting
Custom toroidal power transformer with shield for minimum hum
120V or 240V ac voltage switch on the rear panel.

In addition, the Mic/DI preamp, EQ and Compressor/De-esser are completely independent entities that can be patched out and used separately - a hand feature that makes it a valuable tool for mixing as well as tracking.
The Mic/DI preamp, borrowed from our acclaimed MDP-1, can handle mics, pickups, keyboards, or line-level signals. It features phantom power, input pad, phase reversal, and a switchable lo-cut filter. Independent gain and output controls permit overdrive of the tube stage to vary the harmonic content of the preamp.
The Opto-Compressor, derived from the popular OCL-2, uses our proprietary optoelectronic...
