Channel StripMicrophone Pre-Amplifier
Instrument Pre-AmplifierLine Pre-amplifier (Direct / DI)4-Band Parametric/Shelving EQ (Equalizer/Equaliser)Optical Compressor/Limiter
Fully operational item has minor rack rash and is 2U (two rack units tall). Ships from a smoke-free studio. Includes power cable. Photos are stock. Returns accepted (see policies).From the Joemeek website...The Joemeek twinQ is everything you ever wanted in a dual studio channel - and then some!
We started with high quality Burr-Brown IC's for the preamp, added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical compressor for that signature "Meek" sound. Then we included some new and innovative features, like an "Iron" switch that switches the IC front end to a transformer - completely changing the topology of the circuit. It even has 24bit, 96k A/D converters built in.
All of this comes housed in a rugged 2u chassis with a beautifully sculpted aluminum faceplate.
With sonic quality rivaling mic pre's priced thousands of dollars more, the twinQ sets a new standard for dual channels!twinQ Specifications

Digital Output Specifications
Sampling: 24 BitResolution: 24-bit delta sigma using Wolfson WM8738 ADCSampling Rate: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz selectableOutput Formats: AES3 compliant (balanced), S/PDIF electricalOversampling: This is [sample frequency divided by twice the bandwidth]. So for a 20kHz bandwidth sampled at 96kHz, oversampling = 2.4x. However the term oversampling is sometimes confused with [clock frequency divided by sample rate]. In the DB-1 that would be 256x at 96kHzNoise Floor: typically 92dB A-weighted (referenced to 0dBFS = +18dBu). So for a +4dBu signal, the SNR is 78dBDistortion: typically 0.01% @ 0dBu (20Hz - 20kHz) at 96kHz sample rate; typically 0.02% @ 0dBu (20Hz - 20kHz) at 48kHz sample rate; typically 0.02% @ -1dBFS (20Hz - 20kHz) at all sample ratesExternal Word Clock input: 75ohm, 1.25V - TTL level, 44.1kHz to 96kHz (auto synchronising)Crosstalk: typically -67dB (20Hz - 20kHz)
Digital InterfaceThe Joemeek Digital Audio Interface provides high quality digital audio outputs plus the ability to synchronize to an external word clock. The digital audio outputs are compatible with most digital recorders, as well as Digital Audio Workstations and mixers. S/PDIF format is available from the RCA phono connectors, while the transformer
