SPL Channel One

SPL Channel One

Channel One è dotato di tutti gli strumenti integrati necessari per la registrazione di voci e strumenti con la massima qualità del suono.

Each stage contributes to the concept as the ideal recording front-end for world-class sounds the easy way: intelligent automation ensures both intuitive and fast as well as musical operation for the finest recording results.

Preamplifiers

• 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-Esser

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.

Insert

The Insert (Send/Return) allows for insertion of external processors like reverb or delay or can be used to record the pure preamplifier signal.

Compressor/Limiter/Gate

This 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. The Noise Gate sports an Auto-Release circuit that click-free cleans the vocal track

3-band EQ

The Channel One provides a new EQ design especially optimized to process vocals, acoustic and electronic instruments. 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 sublte distortions to signals to make them better cut through the mix.
