Aphex CHANNEL - Master Pre Amp and Input Processor

Complete High Performance Channel Strip

With more and more studios foregoing consoles in favor of recording and mixing in the computer, a clean and versatile front end input stage is indispensible. There are dozens and dozens of channel strips and similar devices to choose from, but none that come close to the Channel by way of sound, features or performance.

The legendary Model 230 has been re-imagined, adding a host of new features to address a greater number of workflows while retaining the sound, functionality and versatility that made it one of the most in-demand processors ever for professional audio, live sound, broadcast and post production.

The Channel incorporates seven powerful devices within a compact, single rack space design, including five of Aphex’s exclusive patented technologies. Together, the result is the highest possible audio quality, processing power and flexibility available.

The elegant front panel not only looks great, but is laid out in an intuitive, easy-to-use workflow with easy to understand labeling. Building on the foundation of the Model 230, the Channel features an instrument input, dedicated output and gain reduction metering, front panel sample rate and clock source selection, and a reference quality internal clock.

Applications

Broadcast 
The Aphex Channel is a Tube Microphone Preamp and signal processor that is an indispensable broadcast station tool. You'll find them in the production room and installed as a permanent on-air processing for pumping up voices.

Recording Studios
The Aphex Channel is a powerful and easy-to-use channel strip for commercial and project studios, featuring our reflected-plate amplifier tube microphone preamp design plus compression, gating, de-esser, parametric EQ, Aural Exciter, and Big Bottom bass enhancement. It is an extraordinary single rack unit that offers 7 of Aphex’s most popular tools that help you work more easily and naturally, achieving the sonic quality you want without connecting several devices.

Live Sound
When space is at a premium in a touring rig, and night after night reliability is essential, the rugged Aphex Channel provides all the top quality processing needed for any instrument without taking up precious rack space.

Return policy details
Please read this entire policy. Money Back or Exchange are NOT buyer's choice and vary depending on situation. This return policy applies to domestic US shipments only. Due to the complexity and cost of international shipping, we do not offer a return policy to foreign bidders. However, foreign bidders who encounter problems will be handled on a case by case basis. Items sold as "new" that are unopened, with the exception of non-returnable items listed below, may be returned within 14 days of shipment for a full refund, less any shipping and delivery fees. Items sold as "new" that are determined to be defective may be exchanged for the same product if still available, or similar product, if the item has been replaced with a newer model by the manufacturer. Opened items sold as "new" may be returned for merchandise credit; However, the items may be subjected to a 20% restocking fee. In order to minimize restocking fees, items must be returned in resalable condition including all original packaging, paperwork, and accessories. We do not accept returns for items sold as "used", items not returned in resalable condition, software, items construed to be personal items (including microphones, headphones, or other items that are construed as personal items, etc.). Any return postage (other than for items deemed defective) will be the responsibility of the buyer, and any refunds given will be less any shipping and applicable restocking fees as determined at the time of service. While we rarely experience returns, we value each customer's business and will strive to resolve any issue with speed and fairness. If there is any doubt about the return policy of a specific item, please feel free to ask before placing your order. Thanks.
