You get all of the sound of the ½ rack version, but with the addition of a Hi-Z input! It features an ultra-fast input stage that captures lots of detail and nuance, and a signal path transformer that adds some “beef” on the way out. Once you hear the Auteur MkII 500, you’ll want to load your 500 rack full of ‘em!

GAIN: clockwise rotation yields an increase in input signal amplitude, counterclockwise rotation yields a decrease in input signal amplitude 2. 48v: engage to turn phantom power on, disengage to turn phantom power off 3. PHASE (Ø): engage to adjust input signal polarity by 180°, disengage to leave input signal polarity unchanged 4. PAD: engage to reduce input signal amplitude by 13dBu, disengage to leave input signal amplitude unchanged 5. Hi-Z: engage to use front panel Hi-Z IN as preamp source, disengage to use 500 rack XLR input as preamp source FRONT 1 • Auteur MkII 500 PACKAGE CONTENTS 1 2 3 4 5 6 CONNECTION DIAGRAM LEGEND Mic Level D.I.
