The SYSTEM 9098 Remote Controlled Microphone Amplifier consists of four
discrete microphone amplifier channels which can be controlled manually,
from an optional remote controller, or from the Supertrue VFX System.

Features include:

Rupert Neve designed audio signal path, virtual class A operation, no VCA's or
DCA's.
TLA (Transformerless Amplifier) input stage.
Can be situated adjacent to microphone, minimising low-level signal runs.
Capable of driving 1km of cable with no discernable degradation.
Normal (studio) and Distribution (broadcast) modes.
Three transformer-coupled outputs per channel - fully isolated in Distribution
mode.
Optional 20 bit A-to-D converter card provides dual AES/EBU outputs.
Integral PFL/monitor system.
Channels can be stereo linked.
40 point bargraph meters, with peak hold and overload indication.
Gain adjustable in 6dB steps from 0dB to 66dB (1dB steps to 71dB gain with
A-to-D option.
SAFE mode to prevent accidental alteration of local control parameters.

The Dual Microphone Amplifier

The SYSTEM 9098 Dual Microphone Amplifier consists of two independant
microphone amplifier channels which may be linked for stereo use. In addition
the Direct Injection inputs allow instruments to be inserted directly into the
device.

Housed in a 1U rack-mounted box, the unit is self-powered. All controls are located on
the front panel.

The SYSTEM 9098 DMA is an extremely high-performance unit designed by Rupert to
meet the criteria he has set out over the years and which remain the benchmark against
which all analogue audio designs should be measured.

The Equaliser

The SYSTEM 9098 Equaliser is a high performance Equaliser and Preamplifier
designed to originate microphone signals of the highest quality and to process
signals generally in terms of frequency response.

The circuitry is based on the research put into the 9098 console and the approach
bears many similarities to that used in the 9098. Paramount importance has been given
to the sonic quality of the audio path, taking great care to retain the highly-prized
musical character of the famous old designs of this pedigree.

The Dual Compressor/Limiter

The SYSTEM 9098 Dual Compressor/Limiter, designed by Rupert Neve,
provides Compression, Limiting and Ambience controls on each channel. The
two channels may be linked for stereo operation.

Firmly based on the performance and character of the historical 2254 Compressor
developed by Rupert in the 1960's, this new unit incorporates the progression in his
design concepts over the past thirty years. A greater degree of operational flexibility is
coupled with a much higher overall performance specification. However, traditional
features which have been Rupert's hallmark have been retained, notably the
transformer-coupled inputs and outputs.
