Bring professional polish to your recordings and live performances with the PreSonus Studio Channel. This single-channel vacuum-tube channel strip combines a high-voltage Class A 12AX7 tube preamp, a flexible VCA-based compressor, and a powerful 3-band EQ, giving you everything you need to shape vocals and instruments with precision. From adding warmth and saturation to tightening dynamics and fine-tuning tone, the Studio Channel is an all-in-one solution for musicians, producers, and engineers who want greater control over their sound. Designed for both studio and stage, it offers mic, line, and instrument inputs, making it versatile enough for any setup.

• High-Voltage Class A Tube Preamplifier: Equipped with a 12AX7 vacuum tube, the Studio Channel’s preamp delivers clean gain, musical warmth, and harmonic richness. Gain and Tube Drive controls let you blend pristine clarity with analog saturation, making it equally suitable for vocals, guitars, and instruments.
• Comprehensive Front-End Controls: Features essential studio tools including a high-pass filter for removing low-frequency rumble, a -20 dB pad for handling hot signals, switchable 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, and polarity reverse to correct phase issues at the source.
• Versatile VCA-Based Compressor: The built-in compressor provides smooth and transparent dynamic control with variable attack, release, and ratio settings. Choose between soft or hard knee modes for subtle leveling or more aggressive compression, and engage Auto Attack/Release for fast, program-dependent adjustments.
• Powerful 3-Band EQ Section: Shape your tone with a fully parametric mid band and semi-parametric low and high bands, which can be set to shelving or peak modes. The EQ can be placed before or after the compressor, giving you flexibility to sculpt your sound for mixing or live performance.
• Multiple Input Options For Any Source: Offers microphone, line-level, and instrument inputs, allowing you to use the Studio Channel as a mic preamp, DI box, or channel strip for virtually any audio source. Its rugged design makes it reliable for both studio sessions and stage performances.
