Channel strip with extensive functions for processing audio signals incl. Lundahl transformers
In broadcast and voice recording, the compact channel strip has already made a big name for itself. Whether singer-songwriter, live event or podcast – Track One always delivers a great sound. It enriches the microphone, line or instrument signal. De-esser, compressor/limiter and equalizer ensure professional results.
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.
Looks great, feels great –
and lasts for a lifetime
Track One Mk3 has a 4 mm thick, black anodized aluminum front panel and aluminum knobs milled from solid. The housing is made of high-quality steel and is powder-coated in elegant black.
Sounds good
With all SPL devices we develop not only according to plan, but also by ear. Many important components are installed on the circuit boards using Through-hole technology. This way we can ensure that we can use the best sounding components.
Optional Equipment: Lundahl Transformers
The Sonic Aspects
Transformers are used as an alternative to electronic balancing stages in the inputs and outputs. Transformers can be found in many classics of audio engineering. They make the bass and fundamental tines rounder and give it a little more punch. The high and overtone range sounds a bit silkier and more present. We find transformers to be advantageous, especially for voices. For highest precision and speed in signal transmission (transient processing), however, electronic stages are better suited. The bottom line is that it is a question of taste and application.
In the Mic Preamplifier
In the case of preamplifiers or channel strips, the 2161 input transformer, which is specially designed for microphone inputs, provides an additional gain of up to 14 dB (depending on the microphone), which must then be added to the scaling. This relieves the microphone preamplifier. Since the transformer ratio passively increases the level, No noise is added. Therefore, the input transformer is more important than the output transformer in preamplifiers.
The Track One Mk3 can be ordered with an optional input transformer for the microphone input. The product with input transformer is called:
