The Aphex Channel Preamp and Input Processor gives you a clean and versatile front end input stage. The Aphex Channel pre adds a host of new features to address a greater number of workflows while retaining the sound, functionality and versatility that made the legendary Model 230 one of the most in-demand processors ever for professional audio, live sound, broadcast and post-production.
The Channel incorporates seven powerful devices within a compact, single rack space design, including five of Aphex’s exclusive patented technologies. The elegant front panel not only looks great but is laid out in an intuitive, easy-to-use workflow with easy to understand labelling.
The Aphex Channel is a Tube Microphone Preamp and signal processor that is an indispensable broadcast station tool. It's also a powerful and easy-to-use channel strip for commercial and project studios, featuring our reflected-plate amplifier tube microphone preamp design plus compression, gating, de-esser, parametric EQ, Aural Exciter, and Big Bottom bass enhancement.
Building on the foundation of the Model 230, the Channel features an instrument input, dedicated output and gain reduction metering, front panel sample rate and clock source selection, and a reference quality internal clock.
When space is at a premium in a touring rig, and night after night reliability is essential, the rugged Aphex Channel provides all the top quality processing needed for any instrument without taking up precious rack space.
