GEORGE MASSENBURG LABS SHOWCASES THE ULTIMATE
SINGLE-CHANNEL INPUT PROCESSOR AT AES NYC 2001
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE:
George Massenburg Labs (GML) has combined the elements of the its
three most popular processors to create the Model 2020 High Resolution
Discrete Input Channel, providing users with peerless microphone pre-
amplification, filtering, equalization, and dynamics processing in a two-rack
space unit. Heir to thirty years of analog engineering expertise, the
Model 2020 boasts reference-quality transparency and provides an elegant
front-end solution for digital and analog recording media alike. Manley
Laboratories (Chino, California) is manufacturing the Model 2020, in conjunction
with GML, as part of the high-end manufacturers' recent alliance. The
product is in production and now shipping.
The Model 2020 is a single-channel input processor and accepts either
microphone or line-level signals with phase reversal and phantom power
switches. The switching, filtering, equalization, and dynamics sections
allow for flexible routing (including side-chain insertion) to accommodate
any recording situation. Like all GML processors, it features discrete-transistor,
balanced/symmetrical class-A op-amps which deliver the widest-bandwidth,
lowest-noise, and the most extended-dynamic-range audio signal possible.
"We designed the Model 2020 based on the 8300 preamplifier, 8200
parametric equalizer, and 8900 dynamics processor," noted George
Massenburg, GML CEO and original inventor of the parametric equalizer.
"The designs are the result of decades of research, prototyping,
manufacturing, listening to users and then subsequent alterations in our
enduring drive towards engineering completely transparent audio processing.
We conceived of the Model 2020 in response to the growing trend in 'front-end'
processing, where a premium is placed on signal processing before the
signal hits tape or, even more often, A/D converters. Because such uses
often call for only a channel or two at a time, there's a need for processing
power that's long on features (such as exquisite preamplification, equalization,
and dynamics processing) and not so long on channels. It's a balance between
use, features, and price point, and the Model 2020 fits the niche perfectly."
AT AES, GML products will be showcased in the Transamerica Audio Booth
#547 and Manley Labs Booth. Both are part of THE AUDIO UNDERGROUND COALITION.
