Rupert Neve Shelford Channel

Transformer Gain Mic Pre, Inductor EQ, Diode Bridge Compressor

The Shelford Channel is the definitive evolution of the original technologies in Rupert’s classic console modules like the 1073, 1064, 1081 & 2254, thoughtfully advanced and refined for the 21st century studio. The Shelford Channel is built around Rupert Neve’s first new transformer-gain, class-A microphone preamplifier in over 40 years, the “best-of-the-classics” inductor EQ section from the Shelford 5052, a tone-packed Diode bridge compressor, the analog power of variable Silk saturation, a new dual-tap transformer output stage for maintaining headroom or allowing the full driving of the Channel without clipping standard converters, and twice the operating voltage of vintage designs.

Features:

• preamplifier section: mic gain, mic trim, 48v phantom power, phase reversal, locut (20hz-250hz), di-in and –thrugh

• eq section: 3-band including parametric lows (35, 60, 100, 220hz), parametric mids (220, 400, 900, 1800, 3500, 7500hz), center q factor, treble (8, 16khz)

• compressor section: diode bridge compressor including threshold (-25 to +20), ratio (1.5: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1, 8: 1), gain db (-6 to +20) (fast, medium, ms, slow, auto), blend for parallel compression, hpf (from preamp section) to sidechain, compressor link option, pre-eq possibility, silk function (red, blue), infinitely adjustable
