The Newton Channel is a powerful modern channel strip that draws from a legendary sonic lineage, offering an intuitive design that delivers classic sound on demand. This channel strip embodies all the recognizable character, musical tone-shaping abilities, and proven reliability that define a Rupert Neve Designs product. The Newton is versatile enough for use in project studios, large-scale commercial facilities, or live sound rigs, providing engineers, producers, and artists the opportunity to integrate it into their setups.

Key Features:

• Input Stage and Mic Preamp: The microphone preamp is designed to deliver the musicality expected from a Rupert Neve product. With 72dB of gain and fine trim control, it accommodates a wide variety of sources while providing a tight, clean sound. The variable high-pass filter with comprehensive frequency range adjustment helps eliminate unwanted noise.
• Equalizer: The EQ section offers a streamlined set of controls for speed and flexibility. Featuring low and high frequency shelf bands with 12dB gain boost/cut, along with a parametric mid-band that spans from 220Hz to 7kHz, this EQ section is designed for quick adjustments while maintaining musicality.
• Compressor: The latest iteration of the ultra-smooth VCA compressor includes +20dB of make-up gain, allowing for ample control while preserving an effortless sound. A ‘pre EQ/post EQ’ push button lets you position the compressor as needed within the signal chain.
• Silk Circuit: The Newton features a unique Silk circuit that enhances harmonic content, allowing you to amplify 2nd and 3rd order harmonics for a vintage tonality. This circuit can be engaged in two modes—Silk Red for brightening high frequencies and Silk Blue for enriching low frequencies.
• Custom Transformer Outputs: The Newton Channel includes a custom transformer output stage, with a balanced main standard line level output and a separate -6dBu XLR output to accommodate high levels of input and saturation.
