Preamps / Channel Strips

With a Transient Designer, a de‑esser and an unusually versatile input section, there’s more to SPL’s recording channel than most.

'Good enough' is rarely good enough for SPL, as this thoroughly over-engineered preamp testifies!

This mic preamp and processor is about as flexible a device as you could hope for without taking the modular route — and all in the space of a 2U rack.

Sound Performance Lab have developed an enviable reputation for their hardware products, and now you can buy more for less with their modular rack system.

A Channel One without the valve for little over half the price? Seeing (and hearing) is believing.

Paul White tries the hybrid sound of SPL's new dual-channel precision microphone preamplifier.

There's more to building a serious mic front end than putting a standard circuit in a flashy box. Fortunately, SPL's circuit design is even more impressive than their custom anodised front panels, as Paul White discovers.

SPL have combined their Vitalizer circuitry with a powerful parametric/notch filter and added a low-noise mic preamp to create an extraordinary audio toolbox. Paul White takes the lid off and looks inside.
