This Channel Strip Can Sound Huge
Count on the SPL Track One when you need a versatile channel strip for a wide variety of microphones and instruments.

The stellar mic preamp provides plenty of gain for your mics and instruments, and SPL's acclaimed De-Esser is onboard for taming sibilant vocalists. Optimize your dynamics with the compressor/limiter, sweeten your tone with the 3-band EQ, and you've got radio-ready sound from the SPL Track One channel strip.

Capture better vocals with the built-in De-Esser
The SPL De-Esser is considered an essential tool in countless studios, and it's built right in to the SPL Track One channel strip. It's known for removing harsh sibilance from vocalists in a natural, musical way, serving up transparent results even at extreme settings. One thing we love about the SPL De-Esser here at Sweetwater is its automatic threshold-adjusting function. It basically compensates for a singer's varying distance from the mic, applying de-essing even with the signal is lower, so that compressing afterwards doesn't bring lower sibilants back up in level.
The beauty of the SPL Track One channel strip is that it's amazingly fast to dial in a great sound with virtually any source. The built-in processing is perfect for adding that extra studio polish without having to patch in external processors or bounce audio through plug-ins.
For maximum flexibility in your studio, get two SPL Track One channel strips and link them for stereo compression. You'll be able to record beautifully wide stereo tracks, and get true stereo compression with just one set of controls. Best of all the EQs will still be independent, so you can fine tune the stereo image simply by using slightly different EQ settings on each side.
