It's known for removing harsh sibilance from vocalists in a natural, musical way, serving up transparent results even at extreme settings. One thing you'll find especially useful is the SPL De-Esser's automatic threshold-adjusting function. It basically compensates for a singer's varying distance from the mic, applying de-essing even with the signal is lower so that compressing afterward doesn't bring lower sibilants back up in level.Compressor/Limiter controls dynamics and adds characterThe Track One's compressor/limiter is an extremely easy-to-use one-knob design utilizing time constants (including attack and release) that are automated adaptively to the input signal, allowing for simple set-and-forget operation. Pressing the Limiter button switches the compressor into limiter mode, with the threshold being set by the compression knob. Like the compressor, SPL’s soft limiter is unobtrusive and delivers consistent, highly musical-sounding results. A separate makeup gain knob is provided for maintaining proper gain structure in your signal chain.Combine two for stereo operationFor maximum flexibility in your studio, get two SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strips and link them for stereo compression. You'll be able to record beautifully wide stereo tracks and get true stereo compression with just one set of controls. Best of all, the EQs will still be independent, so you can fine-tune the stereo image simply by using slightly different EQ settings on each side.SPL Audio: supercharged audio productsFormed in Germany in 1983, SPL Audio has been at the forefront of the pro audio industry since its inception.

The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is the definitive TG limiter, released in honor of Abbey Road Studios' 75th birthday. The brainchild of Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke, the Zener Limiter is based on the classic EMI circuits used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This latest EMI limiter carries on the tradition of EMI limiters started in 1956 with the RS114 tube limiter, and continued with 1966's RS168 Zener Limiter (a component of the TG12345 console channel in 1968), and the TG12413 in '74. Start with the essence of the classic RS168, add modern functionality, and you have the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter.Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter at a Glance:Classic compression and limiting, with modern flexibilityExercise iron-fisted control over your dynamicsYou get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the twoClassic compression and limiting, with modern flexibilityThe original TG Limiter was designed to replace both the Fairchild 660 and the EMI-modified Altec 436/RS124 - two certified classics, revered for their dynamics-shaping prowess. The Altec unit was known for its natural, organic compression, while the Fairchild - with its fast, sub-millisecond onset and extremely soft-knee compression curve - is perhaps the most lusted-after (and imitated) limiter ever made. The Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the sonic mojo of these two classics - and goes several steps beyond.Exercise iron-fisted control over your dynamicsThe Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter gives you the power to impose your will on your dynamics. Starting with the powerful vintage TG limiter circuits, Chandler Limited gives you added features and flexibility in the form of controls such as switchable input impedance (for hard or soft driving of the unit), 11-position attack, 21-position release, and side chain filtering, as well as Comp 1, Comp 2, and Limit settings.You get natural compression, scrumptious-sounding limiting - and a blend of the twoCOMP 1 is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants than originally designed by EMI engineers to emulate the Altec 436/RS124 EMI-modified Altec compressors. Limit mode is much faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660. COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settings, essentially giving you the compression curve of Comp 1, with the faster release times characteristic of Limit mode. Whether you use it for tracking or mastering, with its sonic pedigree and effective controls, the Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter is a must-have for huge, punchy mixes.Chandler Limited EMI TG12413 Zener Limiter Features:Gives you the sonic mojo of two classics: the Fairchild 660 and the Altec 436/RS124COMP 1 mode is a 2:1 ratio with slower time constants reminiscent of the Altec 436/RS124Limit mode is faster and designed to emulate the response curves of the revered classic Fairchild 660COMP 2 is a new setting that puts you halfway between the two original settingsChandler Limited and their associated logos are registered trademarks of Chandler Limited, Inc.

The Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ is the definitive TG equalizer, released in celebration of Abbey Road Studios' 75th birthday. The brainchild of Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and Abbey Road senior engineer Peter Cobbin, the Curve Bender is based on the vintage EMI TG12345 console used on Beatles and Pink Floyd recordings. This latest EMI equalizer carries on the tradition of EMI EQs that began in 1951 with the RS56 (cheekily dubbed "the Curve Bender" by EMI designers), and continued with the 1968's TG12345 and TG12412 in '74. A classic design - the gorgeous-sounding TG12345 - juiced with it with modern features. That's the Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender.Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ at a Glance:A fully featured version of a classic EQPowerful functionality gives your serious sound shaping mojoYou get the best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern featuresA fully featured version of a classic EQThe Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ is the embodiment of a dream. It was during his mixing of numerous Beatles-related projects (Anthology, Yellow Submarine, Imagine, etc.), it occurred to Peter Cobbin that having a fully featured and highly flexible version of the original desk EQ units would be invaluable. After Wade Goeke presented him with a working version of the legendary console equalizer, Peter realized he could "have it all," and set Wade to building the perfect beast.Powerful functionality gives your serious sound shaping mojoPeter had requested four bands, and filters based on the slopes of the original console - but with overlapping and expanded options. In the final production unit, the 9 selections of the original TG12345 had become 51 EQ points. Wade also added a multiply switch that increases boost/cut up to 13.5dB (as well as sharpening the Q), in addition to filters and bell/shelf selections on the high and low bands.You get the best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern featuresThe result is the Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender - a classic equalizer from the glorious history of EMI and Abbey Road that's come full circle, morphing into a modern powerhouse EQ perfect for all your recording, mixing, and mastering needs.Chandler Limited EMI TG12345 Curve Bender EQ Features:A fully featured version of a classic EQThe best of both worlds: vintage warmth, plus modern features51 EQ pointsMultiply switch increases boost/cut up to 13.5dBHigh pass and lowpass filters and bell/shelf selections on high and low bandsChandler Limited and their associated logos are registered trademarks of Chandler Limited, Inc.

Dual-Channel Microphone Preamplifier in 120V-Technology With the Crescendo duo, we are expanding our 120V microphone preamp portfolio with a dual-channel version of the Crescendo. The Undistortable Crescendo duo convinces with the same outstanding sound and technical features as the flagship of the product range – the eight-channel Crescendo. It is almost impossible to overdrive this microphone preamplifier. It shines with absolute signal fidelity and clarity and lets microphones appear in a whole new light – because they have never been amplified like this before. 48 V The phantom power required for the use of condenser microphones is activated with the 48V switch. VU -10 In the Crescendo duo, high gains can be used to optimally drive subsequent AD converters. Should the VU meter therefore deflect too far, you can reduce the displayed level by 10 dB. Ø Turn the polarity of a microphone signal 180° by activating the polarity reversal switch. HP A high-pass filter with 6 dB per octave reduces subsonic noise below 120 Hz. Mic Gain The gain is adjusted by a 12-step switch. The pre-amplification ranges from +18 dB to +70 dB. Output The switchable output control allows level adjustment to subsequent devices. The control range is +/- 10 dB. This results in a total gain of 80 dB. Pad For loud input signals (including line signals) the input sensitivity can be reduced by 20 dB. Built-in Output Splitter Both microphone preamps have dual outputs. The often needed splitter is therefore already built in. Record the microphone signal on a recording system and at the same time record it on a backup system.

The P110 is a new microphone amplifier/compressor combination for studio recording of real sounds. The TFPRO P110 is a specialist single channel preamplifier, phase shifter, compressor and equaliser with advanced analogue features. It is designed to be a perfect tool for voice recording and ‘tracking’ in the studio.It’s no secret that the secret to voice recording is attention to detail…. But it’s essential to have the quality there at all stages, especially right at the beginning, in the studio, when the original voice is recorded. The mic amp is not ‘life or death’, it’s much more important than that! The new P110 has transformer inputs of course, it uses multiple stages of amplification so that gain is kept low and the transient distortions that occur in most audio amplifiers are eliminated. The vital compressor, essential for glueing the sound together, is optical and the EQ section is a tried and tested design using discrete amplifiers. Although it’s new, the P110 behaves like an old friend, adaptable, comfortable and easy to use. Developed from the very successful P10, it’s a new classic, a sure way to produce sounds with body and presence in a digital world.
There is nothing quite like a transformer for an input buffer, it’s the perfect isolator and it eliminates the need for electrolytic capacitors at the audio input. The P10 uses a substantial UK made transformer, but because of the novel design of the current mode input stage, the transformer operates with predominantly current. With almost zero voltage there is no possibility of overload or distortion at the input, so the input stage can handle ourageous levels with no distortion, even at very low frequencies. FEATURES Individual channel vari-phase 4 position model switch Switchable input/output metering Luxuriously warm sweepable EQ Separate ‘linked’ stereo compressor
