Description
SPL Channel One MkIIThe Channel One comes with all tools onboard for recording voices, instruments and digital or analog audio sources with the highest sound quality:Transistor/tube preamplifierSPL's De-EsserCompressor/limiter with noise gateEQ sectionHeadphone monitorEach 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.Sound On Sound (UK), Paul White"Until you've tried something that works this well, the words 'smooth' and 'detailed' won't have nearly as much meaning as after playing with the Channel One. If you're wondering where that elusive 'produced' vocal sound is hiding, look no further ? it's in here!"The preamp stage provides three optimised inputs:The microphone input features 48V phantom power, phase reverse function and a subsonic filter.The low-impedance Line input has a precise balancing stage for connecting studio equipment.The low-noise, high-impedance instrument input is easily accessible on the front panel.De-EsserThe 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.Insert (Send/Return)The Insert (Send/Return) allows for insertion of external processors or can be used to record the pure preamplifier signal.Compressor/LimiterThis section is based on SPL?s 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 muscial results in any situation. Actually it is much more difficult to destroy a recording with wrong compression settings.Noise GateThe noise gate operates flawlessly - reverbs are recognized and not cut off.Three band EQThe 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.Headphone monitor stageProvides an individual mix for the singer/speaker - latency problems from digital systems are avoided.
