The English Channel
The English Channel is a set of three, premium-quality Signal Processing Devices, designed to help you produce great sounding vocals, anywhere. Quickly shape your vocal sound and make it ready for live streaming or recording!
The English Channel includes a Studio Mic Pre, Dynamics Processor with Gate, Compressor and De-Esser, and Parametric EQ with Sonic Enhancer. The third device is a Streaming USB Audio Interface with an SD Card Recorder.
You can buy these pieces separately. But when you get them together as part of the English Channel, not only do you get over 20% savings, but you also get a set of USB-C interconnect cables, a set of XLR interconnect cables and a stylish desktop enclosure (we call it the Commander Console).
These tools use proven audio technology found in British recording consoles, hence the name. A full complement of vintage, tone-shaping goodness, The English Channel features sweet, warm-sounding "old-school analog processing". This means immediate adjustments and instant monitoring over headphones. No menus, no wasted time. Reach for the control and make the adjustment without taking your eyes off the action.
Each unit is powered from USB-C and has a through port, to daisy-chain the power to the other units. This gives you ultimate convenience, whether you use the English Channel to record in the field, or in your home studio.
