Uses and applications for the MS 1S 

should be obvious. But then again, it’s 

obvious to us our taxes are too high and 

nothing is being done about that. With 

this in mind, perhaps a few words on us-

ing the MS 1S might not be wasted.

BALANCED USE
The MS 1S provides a true cross-coupled 

balanced output. This is equivalent to an 

electronic simulation of a transformer 

output. Rane follows the AES standard of 

pin 2 = hot.

When running a long cable back to 

the mixer, run a line-level balanced line 

rather than a mic-level line. The compact 

MS 1S can mount closer to the micro-

phone, provide a local volume control 

(or not, just pull the knob off), while the 

stronger signal minimizes RF and hum 

irritations.

UNBALANCED USE
Balanced use is recommended to mini-

mize noise. Unbalanced lines are usually 

quiet under 10 feet (3 meters), but longer 

runs will introduce the hum and interfer-

ence you are trying to avoid. When you 

must drive an unbalanced device with 

the MS 1S's balanced output, keep the 

cable short, and connect pin 2 to the “+” 

or “hot” lead, and tie pin 3 and ground 

together at the shield.

MIXING
The MS 1S is designed to fill the need for 

adding a microphone channel to line-

level mixers, such as the Rane SM 26S or 

SM 82S. Many installations using either 

of these products invariably wind up with 

one unused input that would do the job 

perfectly if only it could operate at mic-

level. In rides the MS 1S to the rescue.

DIGITAL RECORDING AND SAMPLING
Another handy use for the MS 1S is in 

recording applications. Many popular 

products do not have a high enough qual-

ity mic preamp to suit the resolution of 

the digital processing electronics. Such 

irony. Using the ultra low noise MS 1S to 

bring the mic inputs up to extremely high 

quality line-level is an easy and affordable 

solution for this dilemma. No garbage in; 

no garbage out. Clippity-clop; clippity-clop.

MICROPHONE TYPES
The available gain and large input range of 

the MS 1S allows the use of virtually any 

type of microphone. True 48V phantom 

power guarantees the MS 1S works with 

every microphone. The better the mic, the 

better the MS 1S sounds.
