Presonus Studio Channel Single Channel Tube Strip - Mic Preamp / Comp /EQ

Presonus Studio Channel Single Channel Tube Strip - Mic Preamp / Comp

The Studio Channel designed by Presonus is a channel strip that is featuring a VCA compressor, a tube preamp, and a 3-band parametric EQ. The tube pre-amp section features two knobs: Gain and Tube Drive. This permits you to adjust the amount of signal that hits the tube circuitry, opening up a broad range of sonic options. The VCA compressor section is well-suited for helping all different types of audio sit nicely in a mix, whether it's percussion with fast transients, or smooth and silky vocals. A custom amplifier is featured with the parametric EQ with a gain control on each of the 3 bands, with a variable Q knob on the mid frequency.

If you are curious about outboard gear and want to upgrade your signal path from the stock preamp found on most audio interfaces, the Presonus Studio Channel is an ideal selection for deeper sonic exploration. Likewise, experienced professionals will appreciate the Studio Channel's solid set of sound shaping tools, as well as its afforable price-tag.
