Channel Strips
Shape, control, and refine audio at the source with Channel Strips, all-in-one audio processing tools that combine multiple signal-processing stages into a single unit. Channel strips typically integrate a microphone preamp, EQ, compressor, filter, and sometimes de-esser or saturation, allowing precise tone shaping before recording or live mixing.
This category includes analog channel strips, digital channel strips, single-channel processors, and studio-grade vocal channel strips, suitable for vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, speech, and broadcast audio. Channel strips streamline workflows by delivering a fully processed signal in one signal path.
Channel strips are widely used by recording engineers, producers, vocalists, podcasters, broadcasters, worship teams, and live sound professionals. They are especially valued in studio recording, voice-over work, podcast production, and live vocal processing, where consistent sound quality and control are critical.
Modern channel strips feature low-noise mic preamps, musical EQ sections, transparent or character compressors, high-pass filters, and balanced inputs and outputs. Analog models are often chosen for their warmth and harmonic character, while cleaner designs focus on accuracy and clarity.
Channel strips are commonly paired with microphones, audio interfaces, mixers, studio monitors, recording software, and patch bays, forming a powerful front-end solution for professional audio systems.
From clean signal conditioning to fully coloured vocal chains, channel strips provide efficiency, consistency, and professional sound control in both studio and live environments.
