SPL Track One Mk3 Premium Channel Strip

The high-quality recording and mixing channel strip has been improved again with the latest Mk3 ersion in some technical details and optimized with the needs of modern recording studios in ind. The new design of the SPL Studio Series provides this third generation Track One with a more intuitive and at the same time classy design. The Track One is equipped with two preamps: a microphone preamp with 48V phantom power and a separate instrument preamp. Both are tuned to a sound-neutral, open and transparent characteristic. Track One Mk3 offers the possibility to process line signals.This means that sources with line level, such as an analog signal from an audio interface, can be processed with de-esser, compressor, limiter and equalizer and then be recorded again. In this way, Track One Mk3 becomes an “analog plugin” within an insert of a DAW. Unobtrusively and effectively, the Auto-Dynamic De-Esser removes distracting S-sounds, in a mix or on vocal tracks. S-frequencies get detected and mixed back phase-inverted into the main signal, thus simply deleting sibilants in the original signal. The compressor is also extremely easy to operate via a controller; its strength lies in its unobtrusive, musical operation. The compressor/limiter section has excellent specifications in terms of noise and distortion. The limiter is designed as an unobtrusive working soft limiter. The filter construction permits the complete scope, from selective removal of accentuated frequen- cies through to character giving accentuations of an instrument, to be effectively and quickly covered. All SPL devices are developed not only according to plan, but also by ear. Many important components are installed on the circuit boards using Through-hole technology. This way SPL can ensure that they can use the best sounding components.
