Here's a good cosmetic condition Vorsis M-2 Preamp/Speech processor. The photos show the actual item for sale. It's a very high quality dual channel preamp/voice processor - like having two M1 pre-amps in a single package, but at a lower cost. The two channels can be used as a stereo pair or as isolated dual mono channels trips. All functions need to be accessed via a PC based remote control application. (I can provide the install file if required). The control app allows for instant recall of different presets. The remote control works via a static IP address so you will need some familiarity with Windows IP networking probably to set that up. Unit ships set to the IP address default value of 192.168.1.190.

Description

The M-2 microphone processor is equipped with twin, matched Super-Quiet (SQ) microphone preamplifiers featuring extremely low noise floor, very wide dynamic range, faithfully accurate transient response, and ruler flat frequency response. Operating in harmony with high quality 24-bit A/D converters and a 48kHz base sample rate, the M-2 adds absolutely no undesired coloration to the signal and faithfully preserves the sound of any microphone and talent combination. It also features a four-section equalizer with high and low shelving EQ and two bands of fully parametric EQ, high and low pass filters, compressor, de-esser, expander and limiter functions.



Included in the M-2 dual-channel voice processor is Wheatstone’s smooth-sounding Vorsis dynamics processing, configurable to up to three bands of processing. Adjustable from anywhere on your network, the M-2 offers the security of password protected TCP/IP-based remote control and no front panel controls.

Wheatstone-designed Dynamics Control
A high performance de-esser and a smooth sounding, very low distortion compressor/limiter dynamics control section round out the M-2’s offerings to create powerful and authoritative presence on production or on-air microphones.

Wheatstone-designed Equalization
Very high quality parametric and shelving equalization is available to sweeten the sound of any microphone as desired without adding noise or undesirable artifacts to the signal.



Wheatstone Processing Presets
A variety of ready-to-use factory processing presets are provided, carefully tailored for different processing goals and formats. You can select a factory preset, confident that it will sound great just as it is. Or use a factory preset as a starting point and create a custom sound for each announcer, then save the new settings as a personalized user preset. In a facility with multiple microphone processors, presets saved in one unit can be easily copied to the others.

M-2 Control GUI

The Control Software loads on an external PC. You can connect the PC directly to the processor, or install the processor on your station’s Ethernet LAN and access it from anywhere in your network (or remotely over VPN).

With Control Software no adjustment is more than two mouse clicks away. And unlike other processors, every processing control is available and labeled for exactly what it does, giving you ultimate power to create your ideal sound.



The remote control screen is divided into an upper control area and a lower dynamic section that includes real-time display of gain reduction as well as a frequency-domain graph that shows the spectral characteristics of your audio. Every screen also includes accurate metering of input and output peak and average levels. Tabs across the top of the GUI software allow immediate access to each section of the processing - parametric EQ, de-esser, filters, compressor and downward expander.

All parameters of the M-2 are adjustable using the included Windows-based GUI which can control as many as 254 M-2 devices.
