In Detail
The Track One is a complete mono channel strip for
the high-quality recording and processing of vocals
and instruments and in spite of its high level of
performance, it is very competitively priced. In addition
to the pre-amplifiers, which are suitable for all
types of microphones, the unit incorporates SPL's
highly effective De-Esser, a compressor/limiter, a
three-band EQ section and an output stage with metering
for output level and gain reduction. The Track One
is ideal for the fast and reliable recording of vocals
or acoustic instruments but it is also suitable for
live performance and AV post-editing.
The intelligent, program-dependent De-Esser and
compressor stages combine the best possible sound
with extreme ease of use and for stereo operation,
two devices can be linked so that both compressors
track together and are controlled from a single master
unit.
Two separate precision pre-amplifiers optimised
for microphones (with 48 V phantom power) and instruments
ensure the lowest noise performance combined with
an open, neutral sound while an LF cut filter is available
to both inputs.
The De-Esser is one of the most effective designs
available, unobtrusively and effectively removing
unwanted sibilant S-sounds via a single control. Auto-threshold
control circuitry ensures consistent processing even
if the vocal level or the distance to the microphone
varies leaving the operator to decide only how much
sibilance to remove.
The compressor/limiter section displays excellent
noise and distortion values yet again is operated
via a single control. Its strength lies in its unobtrusive,
musical method of operation where its parameters respond
to the characteristics of the incoming signal.
The EQ section has been specifically designed to
process vocals and acoustic or electronic instruments
and the specifications are as follows:
•
Low Band filter: 30 Hz to 720 Hz (cut/boost +/- 14
dB)
•
Mid Hi filter: 650 Hz to 14 Hz (cut/boost +/-12 dB)
•
Air Band: based on a coil/condenser filter with bell
characteristic and a centre frequency of 17.5 kHz,
maximum cut/boost+/- 10 dB.
The output amplification stage is adjustable over
the range -20dB to +6 dB for optimal drive of subsequent
units and the output is via balanced XLR and jack
plugs that can be used in parallel if necessary. An
A/D converter and a Lundahl input transformer can
be provided as options.
