GEORGE MASSENBURG LABS 2032 Single-Channel Microphone Preamp/Parametric EQ

The GML 2032 is a high-resolution, single-channel microphone preamplifier and parametric equalizer, engineered for precision in both studio and remote recording environments. Combining the revered GML 8300 Transformerless Microphone Preamplifier and the legendary 8200 Parametric Equalizer into a compact 1U chassis, the 2032 offers pristine transparency, exceptional detail, and musicality in an accessible, streamlined form. With its own internal power supply, the GML 2032 is a powerful, standalone solution for professionals seeking superior audio quality.

Designed with GML’s signature all-discrete, Class-A circuitry and featuring transformerless balanced inputs, the 2032 ensures signal integrity from input to output. It provides a wide gain range of 10 dB to 75 dB, allowing for nuanced control via a precision gain switch with 5 dB increments, and a fine gain adjustment for ±5 dB. The integrated four-band parametric equalizer offers comprehensive tonal shaping, with Shelf mode on both the low and high bands, as well as a selectable high-pass filter at 40 Hz or 100 Hz.
