SPL Channel One Mk3
Premium channel strip with all tools onboard for recording voices, instruments and digital or analog audio sources with the highest sound quality:
Each stage contributes to the concept as the ideal recording frontend for world-class sounds the easy way: intelligent automation ensures both intuitive and fast as well as musical operation for the finest recording results.
provides three optimized inputs:
The renowned SPL De-Esser subtly yet effectively removes offending sibilants by reliably eliminating only the S frequencies with its unique phase-cancelling processing technology. Auto-Threshold ensures constant processing even with varying microphone distances. All you need do is to turn the knob until the sibilants are gone.
The Insert (Send/Return) allows for insertion of external processors or can be used to record the pure preamplifier signal.
This section is based on SPLs Double-VCA-Drive circuitry for outstanding noise and distortion characteristics. The compressor is extremely easy to use via a single knob. But the signal-dependent automation not only allows for set and forget operation, it also grants very musical results in any situation. Actually it is much more difficult to destroy a recording with wrong compression settings.
The noise gate operates flawlessly - reverbs are recognized and not cut off.
The Channel One provides a new EQ design especially optimized to process vocals, acoustic and electronic imstruments. Low, Mid Hi, and Air-Bands allow for both corrective adjustments and/or effective sound designing processing. Gadget: a distortion control might be useful sometimes to apply for decent distortions to signals that deserve it.
Provides an individual mix for the singer/speaker - latency problems from digital systems are avoided.
