Retro Instruments Powerstrip
The Retro Powerstrip
recording channel is a high powered "channel strip" or "vintage studio in a
box", capturing the tone of a tube mixing desk, Pultec-style tube EQ and British
tube compressor all in one compact 2u rack unit.
It has all the right
inputs and enough gain for every microphone and instrument you can throw at it.
It has a balanced line level input for pro-interface instruments and for use
during mix time.
The performance is purely musical. It is perfect for
use in any size recording studio or on stage.
