The rotary encoder above it takes care of menu switching and output volume control. We always prefer to have two headphone preamps, but the UltraLite-mk5 unfortunately has just one. With a range of 74dB, there’s plenty of gain to go around. Gain is applied digitally, for accurate level setting, assisted by push-button switches for phantom power and a sensitivity pad on each preamp. Although appearing limited at a glance, the product is aimed at those who might want a couple of preamps on board to get them started/for use on the go, and then supplement these with higher quality, external ones. On the front, two combination sockets accept mic, line or instrument level. The all-metal case feels reassuringly heavy and sturdy and the rotary controls are satisfyingly tactile, but the push switches are a little clicky.
