Grace Design Lunatec V3 Portable Stereo Mic Pre and A/D converter, from Grace

Grace Design Lunatec V3 portable, 2-channel microphone preamplifier and high-definition A/D converter designed for audio professionals in the concert taping, music recording and location sound markets. Based on the industry standard Lunatec V2, the V3 represents significant enhancements that enable customers to directly output digital audio signals to high bit depth and high sample rate recording systems. This fabulous preamp is without a doubt the cleanest, most accurate, and most detailed portable preamp available even remotely in this price range. The preamps in the Lunatec V3 are quite similar to the incredibly acclaimed new Model 101 (visit our 101 auction page for more details on this mic pre). It is amazing that with its minimal power requirements that it is able to produce such impressive amounts of gain, such large output levels (more than enough to drive your 24 bit converters), with such wonderful sound quality. Clarity, Detail, and Cleanliness are totally abundant in the sound. You really have to hear this preamp for yourself to understand just how powerful it is! Item is in stock, and will ship imediately on successful completion of the auction.

The Ultimate Portable- Based on the industry standard lunatec V2, the lunatec V3 is designed to deliver astonishingly accurate, musical microphone preamplification with high definition A/D conversion in a bombproof, portable DC powered package. Sound designers, remote engineers, classical engineers, concert tapers or anyone with a portable recording system will be stunned by the depth, clarity and realism the lunatec V3 delivers.

Grace Design's new ultra-low distortion, 24-bit A/D converter is included as standard. Flexible outputs include S/PDIF (RCA) and two sets of AES3 (XLR). Sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192 kHz are supported. Both single and dual-wire 176.4 and 192 kHz AES/EBU modes are provided via a pair of XLR connectors, which enable connection to today's high sample rate dual-wire digital recording systems as well as provision for single-wire systems that will likely become the standard in the future.

The lunatec V3 is also equipped with our unique new analog noise shaping dither circuit, or ANSRTM, which can be applied for word-length reduction when sending signals to a 16-bit digital recorder.

Designed with portability and reliability in mind, the lunatec V3 is at home anywhere the demanding engineer needs to capture the maximum amount of detail and clarity to tape. With audio performance worthy of the most refined studio mic preamplifier, the lunatec V3 is capable of translating even the most subtle, complex low-level ambient information without noise or coloration. What your microphone hears is what goes to tape.
