Details
Controls: Gain +15dB to +70dB in 5dB steps plus Fine control -5dB to +5dB continuously variable; Phase reverse switch; P48 phantom power switch; 2nd-order Butterworth high-pass filter (Flat/40Hz/100Hz); Insert switch (splits EQ from preamp); 4-band fully parametric EQ, continuously variable frequency/gain/Q; EQ In/Out switch; Overload (OL) indicator for preamp and EQ
I/O: Inputs: Mic (1kOhm balanced XLR, +17dBu max before clipping), MI/DI (1MOhm unbalanced 1/4in TS, +8.5dBu max), Insert In (20kOhm balanced bridging, +21dBu max); Output: 3-wire unbalanced XLR (pin 2 hot), +27.0dBv clipping; internal power supply, IEC AC inlet (110V/220V switchable), no external PSU required
Notable use: Single-channel high-resolution mic pre/EQ combo used in studio and remote/location recording where a compact one-channel version of the GML 8300 pre + 8200 EQ signal path is needed
Notes: FLAGGED judgment call: device_class set to 'Channel Strip' because the 2032 combines a mic preamplifier and a 4-band fully parametric EQ in one chassis (no built-in taxonomy option for a 2-function 'preamp+EQ' unit). Unlike GML's discontinued Model 2020 (mic pre + EQ + full 8900 dynamics section, not included in this catalog as it is no longer part of GML's current lineup), the 2032 does NOT include a compressor/dynamics section. Weight approx. 11 lbs. Has its own internal PSU, unlike the rack 8200/8302/8304 which require an external 8355/2555 supply. GML does not publish MSRP; Professional Audio Design currently lists this at $4,422 USD (matches other market listings) -- shown as reference only, price_usd left blank per no-guess rule. country_of_manufacture inferred from GML LLC's Franklin, TN, USA address, not an explicit statement.
