In UK pro audio magazine Sound on Sound you’ll find a review of our Channel One Mk3 channel strip – the perfect front-end for the modern producer. The complete review is available at Sound on Sound as a print magazine in the May edition and online as a purchasable pdf. We have summarized some of the highlights for you here on our blog.
“For review here is the third iteration of their Channel One. Like its predecessors, this analogue recording channel comes in a vented 2U 19-inch rackmount chassis, but while it borrows plenty from the Mk2 version, this is a significant redesign that goes much deeper than the darker and, to my eye anyway, more impressive and easier to read front panel.”
“With a Transient Designer, a de-esser and an unusually versatile input section, there’s more to SPL’s recording
channel than most.”
“The most notable changes to the feature set include a revamped preamp section, and this is now joined by a dedicated valve-based saturation processor.”
Conclusion:
“The preamp sounds clean and detailed, and it offers plenty of gain. There’s real valve ‘colour’ on tap, and there are more processing and output options than on pretty much any channel strip of comparable quality or price. So if you’re looking for a single ‘do it all’ channel strip, this one deserves serious consideration.”
“The Channel One has evolved, and the result is one of the most versatile channel strips around – of course, it also sounds great, and has tonal character on tap!”
