HR-MCP2

RDL HR-MCP2 - Dual Microphone Compressor with Preamp

The RDL HR-MCP2 is a professional dual-channel microphone compressor designed to stabilize audio levels across a wide input dynamic range (up to 25dB). It functions either as a line-level compressor or as a microphone preamplifier with compression, delivering studio-quality low-noise performance in any configuration.

Compatible with both dynamic and condenser microphones, the HR-MCP2 features balanced inputs and outputs on XLR and detachable terminal blocks. Each channel includes gain control (20-60 dB), low-cut filter switch (80 Hz), input pad (-15 dB), CLIP indicator, and a 7-LED gain reduction meter in 3 dB steps. A front-panel switch enables 48V phantom power for both mic inputs.

Ideal for use between a microphone and mixer or amplifier, or as a standalone mic preamp, the HR-MCP2 fits perfectly in broadcast studios, voice-over booths, PA systems, meeting rooms, public venues, and commercial AV installations. Its compact, shielded half-rack metal enclosure supports free-standing use or rack mounting with optional RDL adapters.
