Lafont Esterel Input Module 501C ONE Microphone Preamplifier EQ – NEW CASE

This is one microphone/line input module with HP/LP Filters and parametric equalizer from a Lafont Esterel Series mixing console, mounted in a proprietary high-quality custom 19” / 1RU metal case—NEW. No time, efforts, or money was spared designing and building this case.

These are high-quality modules engineered by Jean Pierre Lafont used in highly regarded Lafont Esterel consoles. The module was fully serviced, tested, and it is working great.

We added an electronic balanced output. The power supply is oversized, heavy-duty with a toroidal transformer. All XLR connectors are Neutrik.

Key Specifications & Features

InputsThis module is fitted with two inputs: microphone and line.

• Microphone Preamplifier: Electronically balanced with input sensitivity ranging (continuously variable) from –70 to -26dB. An additional 20dB pad is provided. Phase reverse and +48V phantom power supply with LED indicators are fitted.
• Line Input: Transformer balanced as well. It is adjustable from -10dB to +10dB.

Equalizer These modules employ a very sophisticated parametric equalizer with HP/LP filters. High Pass/Low Pass filters are with Butterworth characteristics and 12dB slope.

• HPF / LPF: Frequency range is continuously variable from 40Hz to 400Hz (for the HPF) and 1.2 kHz to 22 kHz (for the LPF). The HPF / LPF are fitted with a separate switch with LED indicator.
• High Frequency: Boosting/cutting (+/-) 16dB from 800 to 10 kHz. Characteristic is switchable from “peaking” to “shelving”. The Q factor for the peaking curve is 1.
• High-Mid Frequency: Boosting/cutting (+/-) 16dB from 400 to 7 kHz. The Q factor is continuously variable from 0.6 to 3.
• Low-Mid Frequency: Boosting/cutting (+/-) 16dB from 100Hz to 2.2 kHz. The Q factor is continuously variable from 0.6 to 3.
• Low Frequency: Boosting/cutting (+/-) 16dB from 35Hz to 700Hz. Characteristic is switchable from “peaking” to “shelving”. The Q factor for the peaking curve is 1.
• EQ "IN": Switch engages the EQ section of the module.

Insert Points

• Insert send/return points with an adjacent switch are fitted on this preamplifier.

Output

• The output is electronically balanced with a maximum output of +27dBm.

Mains / Power

• The voltage is switchable between 117VAC to 230VAC.
