Custom STLX Transformers
The MD2 Pro features two of Samson’s STLX Mu-Metal shielded
transformers that deliver an extended, flat frequency response with
ultra-low distortion and superior protection against hum and RF
interference. The MD2 Pro’s balanced outputs provide clean signals that
are less susceptible to noise than unbalanced lines, allowing for longer
cable runs. The MD2 Pro also includes a 3-position 0dB/-10dB/-20dB
attenuation switch for each input to toggle between line and speaker
level signals, as well as a Stereo/Mono sum switch.
Thru Jack
The MD2 Pro’s Thru jacks enable you to tap off the signals from the
inputs and pass the signals to amplifiers or monitors without affecting the
original audio. This can eliminate the need for miking guitar amplifiers,
which depending on your application may be preferable, especially as
more musicians are using in-ear monitors.
Roadworthy Construction
Housed in a 14-gauge steel chassis, the MD2 Pro is built to withstand
the abuse of the most demanding live tours. Its rigid outer shell protects
all the MD2 Pro’s internal connections, switches and solder joints from
failure, ensuring quiet, reliable performance.
