Presonus Studio Channel

If your on a budget and you need to start acquiring gear for your signal chain or you just simply want to just upgrade, then I have the perfect all in one wonder for you. The Presonus Studio Channel has a preamplifier, compressor, and equalizer. There is no need to purchase these three different types of audio gear where you can get it all in one and for the price of $300. The Studio Channel has a class A 12AX7 tube amplifier. MXL microphones are not the best microphones when you want to purchase a microphone, but it will get the job done for engineers starting in this career. I recorded vocals with this microphone through the Studio Channel and it sounded amazing. It changed the characteristics of the microphone by adding a wider and fuller sound. The studio channel also has a VCA compressor, which is known for its ability to manipulate the fastest transients when recording. The compressor has all your basic knobs such as threshold, attack, and release. The Studio Channel’s three band parametric equalizer is good to take out those unwanted frequencies that are disturbing your sound. It also adds a smooth and sweet type of color to the sound. Equalizing when recording is not common, but you can also you this as an insert in your postproduction. The Presonus Studio Channel is an amazing piece of gear. This was my first gear for my signal chain and it definitely transformed the quality of my recordings to reach that professional sound. For the price on the Studio Channel, you cannot possibly go wrong. This is a piece of audio gear that will upgrade your sound, especially if you are on a budget and starting in to the recording world. Below I provided links so you can read the technical specifications for the Studio Channel.
