Push the big iron with Joe Meek' sixQ2 studio channel
Joemeek Q series studio channels provided ultra-clean, world-class mic pres combined with amazingly musical EQ, built-in high-quality digital converters, a unique ˜IRON™ transformer-coupling switch to add some special sonic coloration and the famous Joemeek optical compressor. The Q2 series offers several upgrades from the original spec with a new top-quality Cinemag mic transformer, more headroom, and the ability to route the line input through the mic transformer for the type of euphonic effects that only come from finely tuned audio components.
Features
- Ultra-clean microphone preamplifier with Cinemag transformer
- œIron switch sends line input through mic transformer to add color and vintage vibe
- Highly musical 3-band EQ with sweepable lows and mids
- Full-featured optical compressor from vintage smooth to completely over the top dynamics effects
- Balanced and unbalanced I/O to interface with any system
- 24-bit/96kHz digital converters with both optical and S/PDIF connections
