Class A transformer-coupled mic preamp channel strip device featuring variable impedance and a saturation knob for tube saturation emulation. Full-featured compressor with variable threshold, attack, release, and gain makeup. Soft-knee compression mode and a hi-pass filter on the sidechain for frequency-dependent compression such as de-essing. Audio transformer on the input stage offers a fully parametric 3-band EQ with overlapping bands and switchable staging for the EQ and compressor, enabling you to swap the order of the EQ and compression. Instrument, line, and microphone inputs as well as switchable gain reduction for the VU meter, dual outputs (TRS and XLR) that can be used simultaneously, and an optional digital output card capable of up to 24-bit 96kHz output on AES/EBU or S/PDIF. 48V phantom power unit with an 80Hz rumble filter, a 20dB pad, a phase inversion button, and balanced send and return jacks for inserting outboard gear.
