Aphex Project Channel channel strip / preamplifier

General

The Aphex Project Channel is a class-A preamplifier, equipped with a digital output and a number of outstanding Aphex effects. You can edit your recording signal by means of an optical compressor and Aphex's renowned Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects. Operating the effects is easy as pie using the front-mounted controls. In addition to a microphone input with phantom power, the Project Channel's front panel also sports an instrument input.

The Project Channel's effects

An optical compressor ensures that the output level is consistent, and the level of compression can be adjusted by means of a ratio knob. The Aural Exciter and Big Bottom processors add richness, warmth and clarity to your sound in a way that can't be achieved with an equalizer. They're a great boost for instruments and vocals alike, and add a larger-than-life quality to your radio/voice-over output. The frequency and effect level of the Aural Exciter and the Big Bottom can both be adjusted independently.

Digital output

Aphex's Project Channel preamp/channel strip is equipped with a digital S/PDIF output, as well as high-grade A/D converters. The latter efficiently convert your analogue signal into digital output, which is then transmitted to your recorder or computer at a maximum resolution of 24 bits/96 kHz.
