Presonus Studio Channel – The Channel For Anytime & Anywhere!
Presonus named this channel strip the Studio Channel, and indeed it’s a fantastic studio tool. But it’s also perfect for live performances. With its tube preamp, VCA-based compressor, and 3-band EQ, it offers a wide palette of tonal colors.
Impressive Headroom & A Wide Range Of Fat Sounds
The Studio Channel’s Class A tube preamp features a 12AX7 tube with high output power, boasting double the supply voltage compared to other preamps in this class. This delivers enormous headroom and massive sonic depth.
Use the Gain and Tube Drive controls to dial in sounds ranging from transparent and clear to gritty and overdriven. The -20 dB pad, 80 Hz high-pass filter, and phase switch help you perfectly position the signal in the mix.
Fast, Smooth & Musical VCA Compression
Presonus’s VCA-based compressor, known for its musicality, tames even the fastest transients thanks to its high response speed. Whether it’s slap bass, snare drum, or vocals, the Studio Channel’s compressor lets you precisely control dynamics even at the highest levels.
Alongside controls for Ratio, Threshold, Attack, Release, and Gain, the handy Auto-Attack/Release function offers preset attack and release curves. The backlit VU meter can display either output level or gain reduction.
Beautiful-Sounding 3-Band EQ – Pre or Post Compressor
The Studio Channel’s 3-band equalizer is a precision tool that lets you suppress unwanted frequencies and fine-tune your sound down to the last detail. The EQ can be placed before or after the compressor, with each band independently bypassable.
The smooth frequency response of the specially designed amplifiers delivers silky highs, deep, powerful bass, and transparent mids. The mid band is fully parametric with variable Q, while the semi-parametric high and low bands offer controls for frequency and gain but fixed Q, and can be switched between shelving or peak modes.
Tasteful Flavor Suitable For Almost Any Signal
At the PreSonus headquarters cafeteria in Baton Rouge, it’s an unwritten rule that almost every meal tastes better with Cajun spices. The Studio Channel is just as versatile, delivering great sound for virtually any type of recording or live music.
With separate inputs (XLR for microphones, one balanced and one unbalanced 1/4" jack for line signals or instruments) plus balanced XLR and jack outputs, it offers flexible connection options for recording interfaces, amplifiers, and PA systems. As mentioned – a channel strip for anytime and anywhere! Hear it now at your preferred PreSonus dealer.
XLR Cable
Stage Pro-Line cables use only oxygen-free copper. This ensures durable, consistent quality and protects against corrosion. The connectors are hand-soldered and feature strain relief clamps, keeping solder joints free from mechanical stress. A high-density copper shield effectively protects the audio signal from handling noise and electromagnetic interference, such as from power supplies and power cables. This guarantees low conductor capacitance and crystal-clear audio transmission.
