Love my grace 101 which ive had for 2 years. I also have a new ribbon microphone, when I saw the new m101 advertised, I jumped for joy. I bought it and was not disappointed! After reading pages of reviews and searching the web for comments for a couple months before buying the grace 101, I can honestly testify that everything I ever read about the dead on sonic qualities of this pre amp is absolutely true. Im in for another for my live vocal rig! Beautiful design, intuitive to use, killer sound! I am a bass player and I am using the 101 for live and recording. I would say I love it its great.....Great tone thanks so much. I am using your m904b controller with *** mains, *** sub and *** cable.The sound of this controller is very well rounded, with outstanding accuracy and detail, leting you hear very, very subtle detail and air around the low and high freqs, with no hype at all in the top end. The mids are rock solid. The lows are phase accurate, tight and very well controled. The headphone amp is stellar useing my *** ***s, the x-feed circuitry is awsome! All of this comes from a/b test with our *** and *** units in our other room. I bought a 101 preamp after auditioning a unit against several competitors. I liked it so much I decided to buy two. Great piece, great price. Neal has been a great help assisting me with selecting the right grace product for my situation. Please pass along my thanks to him. The 201 faithfully reproduces the dynamics of a string quartet, piano and solo violin like no other product I have tried. Also, they make modest price microphones ($250-400) sound wonderful and expensive mics ($750-1000) sound pristine. Am hopeful grace will come out with a stand alone 8 channel a/d-d/a box similar to whats optional in the 801 in the future. Sooner or later, I will make the move to digital (getting a bit tired of lugging my multitrack reel to reel around to live performances) and dont want to compromise the 201 output at all. The m906 is fablulous! Great sound, great stability and powerful combinations. Now I can record, mix and master my works with accurate and precise monitoring for virtual everything I need. It\s the center of my entire digital/analog studio. Thank you grace design. This unit sounds fantastic, has great features and its great looks certainly dont hurt. I bought this one for home reference listening of my work. I plan on buying two more for the mastering studio in the near future. The name headphone amp is misleading. True, the unit is a great headphone amp but can also be an outboard dac, or a fine preamp since analog inputs are available. The separate, remote controlled, level controls with .05 Db matching for a 99 db range is unmatched by any (affordable) passive potentiometer. It also looks like a professional piece of equipment. I am so impressed with grace design as a whole. The website is fantastic. I was able to study the m902\s manual before I received the actual unit, which allowed me to get my questions answered before I was tasked with installing the m902 into my reference system. What an absolute pleasure it was to talk with neal thompson about my particular questions concerning unity gain settings and other line output connection issues. Pleasant and deeply knowledgable, he clearly answered all my questions and gave me valuable insight with some recommendations for product usage and feature descriptions. From the packaging to the actual unit itself, everything just exudes quality. The annunciation and tactile feel of the m902 outperforms even my *** (though I love my *** even though I am a corporate pilot by profession, I wa!S educated as a mechanical engineer. I routinely operate! Aircraf t which cost in excess of 40 million dollars, so I feel I am qualified to say that I truly can appreciate the high level of engineering that went into the design and production of the m902 reference headphone amplifier. I will close with what every good audio reviewer has said so far about the m902, my highest recommendation. Bravo. Beautiful unit. Well thought out. I purchased this unit over the *** because of the feature set, asthetics, and amount of digital i/o and digital routing. Sonic quality: transparent, clean, silent!!! Stereo image jumps from the speakers. This unit is a great match for my needs & workflow. A great-sounding, transparent, beautifully-built & robust surround controller! The 101 made me very angry - it kept showing all the flaws in my mics and my room! But I figured I could trust someone who doesnt lie to me rather than someone who tells me what I want to hear. Great pre! I opened the box and immediately put it into action on a session. I was speechless! Thank you. Looking forward to putting the m201 through its paces. Looks great in the rack! I researched preamps for a very long time prior to making the choice of the grace design model 101. Once I plugged in my km184 and strummed my acoustic, I fell in love. I didn\t know a mic\d instrument could actually sound as good as a purely acoustic experience. All I can say is the grace 201 preamp is the best sounding pre i\ve ever owned and used! The reviews don\t lie or exaggerate. I\ll keep this one for a life-time. My recordings have never sounded so pristine and full of depth and character. Thank you grace design!!!! The sonic clarity of the m901 is amazing. I can hear details in my sounds that I never heard before, especially with my new *** headphones. I do 95% of my sound design on headphones now and only use the genelecs when doing lcrs or 5.1 Work. It was everything I had hoped for! I do a significant quantity of organ, choral, orchestral and chamber recordings. As good as the monitoring is on my ***, this is better. Coupled with my *** I have an unbeatable combination and produce astonishing results with the entire chain. The m902 deserves highest merit in quality of construction, attention to detail, innovation and functionality. As a headphone amplifier, it has no peer in it\s price range and sonic attributes. As a preamplifier, it peforms as well as units costing much more. The fact that it does so many things in it\s compact dimensions transcends further comment as the proof is in the listening. Grace designs makes a bold statement with this product and sets a fine example for other manufacturers to aspire towards. Congratulations on a product of particular distinction. Im setting up an editing suite, and i\d love to place posters of products I use and reccommend for clients to see. If you could provide any promotional materials that I could display (posters, etc.) I would be much obliged, as I am very pleased with my lunatec v3. This mic pre brings together great sound and easy of use. In my book, thats a killer combination! In my work, it is imperative that I be able to move fast and rely on my gear. Thanks!! Grace design products are transparent. I can completely trust that my grace handles audio signals with least impact on the sound I put in. That transparency actually puts me in better control of the ultimate sound I am trying to achieve. Thank you! The rather unique combination of analog/digital and usb at this audiophile level in a compact bullet proof housing, not unlike my powerbook 17\s aircraft grade aluminum, make this product the choice. M902 is a such a versatile little wonder, driving *** or *** , or driving our power amps *** and studio monitors *** directly, this audiophile and versatile powerbrick always performs with finesse and detail, power and insight. Model 801r- we own a second 801r - so the new registration address applies to this unit also. We did a ad converter test, including a da/ad loop of an original soundfile. The new files were rerecorded through a *** into all 5 ad converters, and also 5 times with a gracedesign 801r inserted. While some converters had only neglegible differences, none of them were able to show any difference between no 801r and an 801r inserted ! This must mean either no converter was transparant enough, or the 801r is transparant enough. While we did this test to check for differences in absolute transparancy of the ads, it turned out to be another proof that we shouldn\t bother to invest in another brand of mic pre. So we happily expanded our 801r with a second one and a 801rcu. What a fabulous product! The build quality and performance are top notch. I would recommend it for anyone as the first line preamp for clean, honest gain. M906 - m906... What a sound... What a design... What a class... Entirly on it\s own... Lonely at the top :-) congratulations! Please continue the good work :-) I really enjoy the features added since the 901: line out, volume readout, switching between line out & phones, usb addition for listening to itunes, x-feed all of which are seamless with the remote. And of course the m902 is a beauty to look at. The 101 is by far the cleanest channel you can buy for under $1000. You won\t find a more musical, more sonically pristine preamp anywhere else for this price. After using onboard pre\s on a behringer board for years and accepting the sound for\what it was\, recording with the 101 is sonically like putting on a pair of prescription glasses for the first time. You make an excellent product at a reasonable price. Its electronic performance, build quality and semi-industrial look appeal to me. Your customer service is responsive and effective, qualities that go a long way in customer satisfaction. The 801 is a beautiful piece of hardware! Easy to use, amazing sound, impossible to beat! Top quality, great sound and unbelievably feature rich for the small size...Good job. Exceeding my expectations! Great work! A new reference in 2 channel portables you guys rock! Great products!! Great product!!!!! I am in love with this!Yall rule! I love this v3. Absolutely amazing! I havent made a bad tape yet! Elegant sonic perfection! Excellent unit!!! Great performnce. Very flat response. No coloring. Awesome units - 1st class design! Great product, thanks! Great product!

m906 5.1 and stereo monitor controller high fidelity 5.1 and stereo monitor control for recording, mastering, film, broadcast and post. The landscape of pro audio has changed. Computer based audio production has greatly reduced the need for large format recording consoles, minus one part: the master section. This progression has created a need for a whole new genre of products - the monitor controller, of which there are many offerings, from simple to full featured. Grace Design proudly offers the pinnacle: the m906 high fidelity 5.1 monitor controller. The main idea behind the m906 was to provide high fidelity level control for engineers working with 5.1 surround playback systems. But from there, we got blissfully carried away and ultimately obsessed with producing the most full featured and highest quality monitor controller available. At its core, the m906 is a purist level control for monitoring surround (or stereo) audio sources. But a closer look reveals a highly intelligent feature set that makes it a vital nerve center for any recording, mastering, or post facility centered around a digital audio workstation. It is configured as a 2U rack mount mainframe controlled by a sleek, powerful desktop remote control, with all audio kept in the mainframe and all control via the remote control. The m906 offers a full complement of balanced and unbalanced analog 5.1 and digital 5.1 and stereo inputs, the latter featuring our latest generation reference 24bit/192kHz DAC technology with our proprietary s-Lock PLL for rock solid digital stability (more info can be found in the technical discussion). All inputs and outputs on the m906 can be user calibrated for seamless integration into any playback environment with all types of playback equipment. The m906’s signal path is designed to deliver nothing short of the best performing, transparent audio available. All components are chosen for audiophile performance and long term reliability. Level controls, the heart of a monitor controller, are low distortion precision devices which provide a 100dB range in silent .5dB steps. Included as a standard feature is our acclaimed reference headphone amplifier circuitry (from our m902), with one output jack on the mainframe and one additional output on the remote. This unique circuitry provides precision headphone amplification for critical monitoring, mixing and mastering. While the m906 boasts a remarkably full set of features, the real achievement for us is to offer this while maintaining the impeccable, transparent audio performance for which all of our products are famous. In its few short years in production, the m906 has found a home in countless of the world’s premier audio production, HD production, broadcast, post and mastering facilities. The m906 is here to empower audio professionals with the highest performance and most comprehensive feature set that any surround monitor control system has to offer.
