Celebrated for 20 years as a synonym for high-quality, extremely musical recording, theChannel One Mk3 Premium with Lundahl Output TransformersfromSPLdelivers on its legacy with new improvements for the modern day recordist. Sporting an improved Transistor Tube Preamplifier, an integrated Transient Designer for efficient compression, a magical-sounding Tube Saturation stage, and a highly useful Mic A/B comparison option as well as much more, the Channel One Mk3 can make any mic, line, or instrument signal sound like a professionally recorded track.

Like the older Channel One, the Mk3 still sports the essential channel strip features needed by any serious engineer or artists. You still get a dynamic and versatile dual-band de-esser, a simple yet powerful compressor with up to -20 dB of gain reduction, and a 3-band semi-parametric EQ with a wide range of 30 Hz to 19 kHz. Separate mic and line XLR inputs are provided as well as a 1/4″ instrument input, and you get multiple line outputs with a special direct Preamp output for parallel tracking on your DAW. And with an enhanced 18V internal operating voltage, the Mk3 delivers a more detailed sound.
