However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

To optimise the interaction between condenser, ribbon, and dynamic microphones, the G4M 500 Series Preamp offers adjustable impedance options of 300 and 1200 ohms. The ability to ensure precise impedance matching offers improved sonic performance for the best possible results.
The G4M 500 Series Preamp also offers DI functionality that allows you to connect instruments directly to the preamp. The front-panel DI input offers a choice between active and passive modes, making it effortless to connect and alternate between instruments like guitars, bass, electric pianos and synths.
The preamp includes a pad function with incremental 5dB steps, allowing you to attenuate the input signal up to 10 dB. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with high-output sources, preventing clipping or distortion that could compromise recordings.
The three LEDs featured on the module indicate whether the signal is below or above the threshold at all times, allowing users to easily monitor the compression effect in real-time. Additionally, they also help engineers identify if the signal is clipping, enabling them to take corrective measures and prevent unwanted distortion from compromising the integrity of their signal.
With a choice of ultra-transparent 1:1 compression to an extreme 25:1, the G4M 500 Series Compressor provides a wide range of compression ratios to suit various audio requirements. Whether users need subtle levelling or heavy compression for creative sound manipulation, this compressor gives engineers the flexibility to achieve the desired result.
The set-and-forget attack and release switches offer convenience and simplicity in setting up the compressor. By eliminating the need for complex manual adjustment of attack and release times, these switches ensure immediate and easy configuration, allowing users to focus on the creative aspects of audio production.
To address excessive low-frequency content, the G4M 500 Series Compressor includes a high-pass filter with a gentle cut at 100Hz. This feature proves valuable in eliminating unwanted rumble or bass-heavy elements, resulting in a cleaner and more focused sound.
The A/B referencing switch on the G4M 500 Series Compressor facilitates easy comparison between the compressed and uncompressed audio signal. By engaging or disengaging the compression effect with a simple switch, users can instantly hear the impact of the compression on the signal, allowing them to make informed adjustments.
Engineered with meticulous attention to detail, this EQ unit is equipped with three bands - low, mid, and high - each offering a range of -15dB to +15dB gain. These bands allow users to precisely sculpt their source, enhancing or attenuating specific frequencies as needed.
In addition to the three-band EQ, the G4M 500 Series EQ also includes a high-pass filter that can be adjusted up to 300Hz. This filter serves as a powerful tool to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble or interference from the audio signal, allowing for cleaner and more focused sound reproduction.
Featuring a sleek and robust 500 Series modular format, the G4M EQ seamlessly integrates into any compatible rack system, providing flexible connectivity options and effortless integration with other studio equipment. Its compact design allows for easy installation and allows users to customise their signal chain according to suit their needs.
Versatility is a key highlight of the G4M 500 Series Rack Case. Its compatibility with a wide range of 500 Series modules from various manufacturers allows engineers to customise their signal chain to suit your specific needs. Whether they're using preamps, compressors, EQs, or other processing modules, this rack case offers the flexibility to create an ideal audio processing setup. Use the FEED switches on the back to instantly connect one module to the next without the need for external patching.
With its sleek and professional appearance, the G4M 500 Series Rack Case not only enhances the functionality of any studio or live rig but also adds a touch of elegance. Its secure rack mounting capabilities make transportation and installation a breeze, ensuring effortless integration into any audio production environment. Its 500mA pool of power ensure your modules will always function at their best and the metal enclosure will protect and secure them from the rigours of studio or live use.
With a strong commitment to delivering an exceptional user experience, G4M offers a broad range of premium spec, high-quality instruments and technology across guitar, keys, live and studio categories.
