The MG-1 is a versatile digital microphone processor that retains all the control capabilities of its M-1 predecessor, with the added convenience of controlling all audio parameters through an intuitive GUI instead of front panel controls. It offers unlimited preset options, enhanced security, and network integration within an all-digital framework, allowing users to easily configure each voice talent’s unique sound at the touch of a button. Equipped with a Super-Quiet (SQ) microphone preamplifier, the MG-1 delivers an exceptionally low noise floor, wide dynamic range, precise transient response, and a perfectly flat frequency response. Paired with high-quality 24-bit A/D converters and a 96kHz base sample rate, the MG-1 ensures that the signal is clean, transparent, and true to the microphone and talent, without adding any unwanted coloration. The MG-1 offers a range of powerful features, including a four-band parametric EQ, high- and low-pass filters, a de-esser, expander, and our proprietary Vorsis dynamics processing. Preloaded with factory-designed presets, the unit also allows for easy custom preset creation with features like “Quick Save” and “Quick Compare,” enabling quick adjustments and comparisons. With the ability to control an entire group of MG-1 units from a single GUI, managing multiple microphone processors becomes effortless. Wheatstone-Engineered Dynamics Control
The MG-1 features a high-performance de-esser and a low-distortion compressor/limiter in its dynamics control section, delivering powerful, clear, and authoritative presence for both production and on-air microphones. This Wheatstone-designed control ensures smooth, professional sound with minimal distortion.
Wheatstone-Designed Equalisation
With high-quality parametric and shelving equalisation, the MG-1 allows users to enhance the sound of any microphone while preserving signal integrity. This precision equalisation improves tonal clarity and richness without introducing noise or undesirable artifacts.
Wheatstone Processing Presets
The MG-1 comes with a range of factory presets, each carefully tailored to different processing goals and formats. These presets are designed to provide immediate, great-sounding results, allowing users to confidently select one that fits their needs. Additionally, presets can serve as a starting point for creating custom settings for individual announcers, which can be saved as personalised user presets. In multi-unit setups, user-created presets can easily be copied across other processors, streamlining setup and ensuring consistency throughout the facility.
