![]() ![]() ![]() It's a lot heavier than the RNC and Mark has used just about every inch of front panel real estate, but it's laid out thoughtfully, and everything is easy to get to. Below 60 dB of gain, I couldn't hear any noise, but that may just be me. With nothing plugged into the inputs, you could hear a little hiss in the +60 and the +66 dB sections of the 12 position gain switch, but the hiss was very low level and smooth. The RNP has a character, but it doesn't jump out and hit you in the face with its sound. It REALLY sounded good as a vocal mic through this box, with almost no proximity buildup or popping, even at point blank range. The Shure SM-57 surprised me (although the 57 is always surprising me). Plenty of gain available with all of them, and the sound was magnificent. How can that be? I tried it with the following mics on my voice for just a few minutes each: How did Mark McQuilken of FMR make it sound like there's lots of iron in the path, but the top end still sounds sweet and clear, and very extended? It's big sounding, but it's also transparent. The polarity invert works on the mic inputs, the DI inputs, and the insert jacks, so it's easy to do a simple polarity invert, even on unbalanced equipment. When you hit phantom power, the phantom power light blinks, the output is muted, and the phantom power is ramped up (or down, depending on the phantom power switch position). ![]() Well, I put the FMR RNP through some of its paces and it's a serious contender. FMR RNP dual channel mic pre is F'N sweet ![]()
