Pro Channel III

Multivoice Channel Strip

Find A Dealer

The Pro Channel III is a fully-featured channel strip with selectable mic impedance, two compression voicings, and semi-parametric EQ.

New to this version, the compressor has both Tube/Opto and FET modes for smooth or punchy dynamic control. The compressor and EQ sections can now be reordered at the touch of a button, and the front panel has been streamlined for a faster, simpler workflow.

The mic preamp features a discrete FET input stage and up to 60 dB of preamp gain, with a variable low cut filter to eliminate rumble and tighten bass.

The EQ section offers a switchable low shelf frequency, variable low-mid and high-mid frequencies with over 4 octaves of range per band, and a 12 kHz high shelf.

The Pro Channel III is also a versatile instrument DI. Connecting to the front 1/4 input will override the rear XLR input so you can record direct tracks without disconnecting your mic or line signal.

Designed for recording musicians seeking a versatile character preamp with real tube warmth, the Pro Channel III offers the flexibility and fidelity to sculpt and enhance any source.
