SPL Track One

The Track One is a complete mono channel strip. It is a perfect tool for the fast and safe recording of vocals and instruments.

The Track One meets highest demands in sound quality and reliability and covers an unlimited application range from studio to live and post production applications.

The Track One is a channel strip that excels primarily in two aspects: it is disarmingly easy to use and offers outstanding sound qualities. This concept is ideally suited for all kinds of vocal and instrument recordings in studio, broadcast or live applications.

The controls are reduced to the necessary basics to ensure highest user-friendliness. Therefore, working with the Track One can be dramatically time-saving which is most important especially in live situations.

Its excellent sound quality qualifies the Track One as a highly recommended alternative to built-in console preamps and processing tools. All the modules are immediately at hand for fast interactions. Recording a voice and providing clarity, detail and intelligibility is a question of seconds.

Preamplifiers

• The microphone input features 48V phantom power and a rumble filter.
• The low-impedance Line input has a precise balancing stage for connecting studio equipment.
• The low-noise, high-impedance instrument input is positioned on the rear of the Track One.

The renowned SPL De-Esser subtly yet effectively removes offending sibilants by reliably eliminating only the “S” frequencies with its unique phase-cancelling processing technology.

De-Esser

The De-Esser operates in Auto-Threshold mode ensuring constant processing even with varying microphone distances. All you need do is to turn the knob until the sibilants are gone.

Compressor/Limiter

The compressor is extremely easy to use via a single knob. But the signal-dependent automation not only allows for set and forget operation, it also grants very musical results in any situation. Actually it is much more difficult to destroy a recording with wrong compression settings.

The compressor can be linked with a second Track One compressor for coherent stereo operation of two units.

3-band EQ

The Track One provides a new EQ design especially optimized to process vocals, acoustic and electronic instruments. Low, Mid Hi, and Air-Bands allow for both corrective adjustments and/or effective sound designing processing.

Display

A central display shows output level metering and gain reduction as well as status LED information.
