Track One Mk3
Compact and competent
In broadcast and voice recording, the compact channel strip has already made a big name for itself. Whether singer-songwriter, live event or podcast – Track One always delivers a great sound. It enriches the microphone, line or instrument signal. De-esser, compressor/limiter and equalizer ensure professional results.
The high-quality recording and mixing channel strip has been improved again with the latest Mk3 ersion in some technical details and optimized with the needs of modern recording studios in ind. The new design of the SPL Studio Series provides this third generation Track One with a more intuitive and at the same time classy design.
Preamplifiers
The Track One is equipped with two preamps:
a microphone preamp with 48V phantom power and
a separate instrument preamp.
Both are tuned to a sound-neutral, open and transparent characteristic.
Gain
The gain control can be used to adjust the preamplification. For microphone signals, a preamplification of up to 63 dB can be realized – so even really demanding microphones can show their qualities.
The control range for line signals ranges between -12 dB and +22 dB.
The control range for instrument signals ranges between 0 dB and +35 dB.
Analogue plugin
Track One Mk3 offers the possibility to process line signals.This means that sources with line level, such as an analog signal from an audio interface, can be processed with de-esser, compressor, limiter and equalizer and then be recorded again. In this way, Track One Mk3 becomes an “analogue plugin” within an insert of a DAW.
In the Mic Preamplifier
In the case of preamplifiers or channel strips, the 2161 input transformer, which is specially designed for microphone inputs, provides an additional gain of up to 14 dB (depending on the microphone), which must then be added to the scaling. This relieves the microphone preamplifier. Since the transformer ratio passively increases the level, No noise is added. Therefore, the input transformer is more important than the output transformer in preamplifiers.
The Track One Mk3 can be ordered with an optional input transformer for the microphone input. The product with input transformer is called:
