The Yamaha MLA7 is designed primarily to add top-quality microphone and balance-line input capability to the Yamaha DMP7 Digital Mixing Processor and other equipment which offers only unbalanced line inputs. In addition to offering the very finest electrical performance possible, the MLA7 accepts a broad range of balanced signal levels, providing full compatibility with balanced microphone and line-level input signals. Each of the 8 amplifiers in the MLA7 has a switchable 20-dB pad, a –20 ~ –60 dB gain control, and a phantom power switch which can be used to apply standard +48-volt DC phantom power to appropriate condenser microphones. The outputs are standard +4 dB unbalanced phone jacks which can be directly connected to the inputs on the DMP7 Digital Mixing Processor or other equipment.
