Description
Undertone Audio MPDI-4 is a four-channel microphone preamp and DI in a single 1RU chassis. The manufacturer lists four independent mic preamp/DI circuits with front-panel XLR/1/4-inch combo inputs, mic-pre direct XLR outputs, +48 V phantom power, phase reverse, a switchable -20 dB input pad and -10 dB output pad. Gain is stepped from -10 to -60 dB in 5 dB increments, and each channel includes a switchable 600 ohm output load plus a low-impedance mode intended for passive ribbon microphones. The design includes bypassable input and output transformers and adjustable THD/headroom behavior, allowing clean or more harmonic operation depending on settings. Retailer corroboration lists the product as a 19-inch 1U rackmount and gives MFR# MPDI-4. Accessible pages did not publish a GTIN, exact dimensions beyond 1U rack format, or verified unit weight.
