Its two microphone preamps provide up to 60 dB of digitally controlled gain, while independent 48V phantom power supports condenser microphones on either channel. Microphone and line connections accommodate studio sources, and two front-panel Hi-Z inputs accept guitars and basses directly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThree Tone Shaping modes introduce distinct harmonic characteristics at the recording stage.
