Details
Controls: Input selector (Line/Mic/Mic+P48), gain switch (~4dB steps), High/Low shelving EQ (±6dB/oct), linear tilt (±1dB/oct), unified Drive knob (threshold/ratio), Release (50ms-1.6s variable), de-resonance/frequency-selective clip control, function switch (bypass/CUT/CLIP)
I/O: Floating transformer-balanced mic input (~2k ohm load, max +70dB gain), line input (~10k ohm load, +21dB gain at 12 o'clock), front-panel instrument jack (very-high impedance), floating transformer-balanced output ~150 ohm
Notes: FINISHED product, newest/flagship unit in current line (introduced late 2023). All-tube signal chain: 6N23P preamp/EQ tubes, PCC189/6ES7 compressor tube, PCC88 output driver. Combines preamp, tube EQ, vari-mu compressor, and frequency-selective clipping stage in one 3U chassis — hence device_class 'Channel Strip' rather than a single-function box. Optimized operating level +4dBu nominal, ~14dB headroom before saturation; 10-15 min tube warm-up time. Power: 220-230V AC (110-120V US variant), ~34W, 315mA slow-blow fuse (630mA US). digital_control inferred 'false'.
