Of course, the Channel One MK3 Premium retains the essential tools that longtime users have come to rely on. Smooth, detailed, and gorgeous, the SPL Channel One MK3 channel strip is your ticket to that “polished” professional sound on vocals and instruments from any source, be it mic, line, or DI.
Compare two microphones ? No problem!
Channel One Mk3 offers two microphone inputs on the back - Mic A and Mic B. Two microphones can be connected there. This makes working much easier. This means you no longer have to reconnect when comparing or changing a microphone.
Preamp Out – on the direct way to your goal
The Preamp Out picks up the signal directly behind the microphone amplifier. For example, for safety reasons, this signal can also be recorded on a separate track in the DAW. If it is only discovered after a recording session that the singer was a little louder in the perfect take and therefore the compressor was a little too strong, this incorrect setting can be changed afterward. The signal recorded for safety can later
be played back into the Channel One Mk3 via the Line In and processed there with Tube Saturation, Compressor, or other tools.
Analogue plug-in
Channel One Mk3 offers the ability to edit line signals. Line-level sources, such as an analog signal from an audio interface, can be processed with a de-esser, compressor, limiter, and equalizer and then recorded again. This makes Channel One Mk3 an “analog plug-in” in a DAW insert.
