TK Audio The Strip ST1 Channel Strip Description
The Strip (ST1) is a complete and easy to use channel strip with a mic preamp, compressor and EQ - a perfect tool for the recording engineer, songwriter or producer on the go that needs a great sounding recording channel. The preamp is a transformerless design with up to 75 dB of ultraclean amplification. The high-impedance instrument input on the front is perfect for instruments like synthesizers; acoustic, electric and bass guitar.
The compressor uses RMS detection without timing controls which makes it easy to use for a lot of different instruments like vocals, bass, acoustic guitar and more. Parallel compression can be done by adjusting the blend of dry and compressed signal. There is a 10 LED meter showing the gain-reduction with a dot or the preamp headroom with a bar. The EQ is a classic Baxandall design with two smooth-sounding shelving filters.
Finally ST1 has two different output stages, an electronically balanced output stage or a discrete transformerbalanced class-A stage, built around a heavy Carnhill output transformer. The vintage class-A mode produces a fat and punchy sound with mid range character and a warm top-end. The ICbased output stage is less colored and ideal for clean amplification.
