elysia channex|studio – Class A Analog Channel Strip for Professional Recording
The elysia channex|studio redefines the modern channel strip with an uncompromising analog signal path designed to deliver mix ready audio directly during recording. Built around a full Class A architecture and engineered for professional studios, channex combines high end preamplification, dynamic equalization, intuitive dynamics processing, flexible sound coloration and advanced zero latency monitoring in a single 19 inch rack unit. The result is exceptional sound quality, faster workflows and complete control from tracking to final production.
At the front of the signal chain is a powerful DC coupled microphone preamp offering up to 64 dB of gain, precise metering and flexible filtering, suitable for microphones, instruments and line level sources. The fully analog 4 band dynamic equalizer allows detailed tone shaping with dynamic control per band, making it possible to sculpt signals musically while maintaining clarity and punch.
The dynamics section combines compressor and limiter stages for transparent peak control and consistent levels without sacrificing character. The unique Flavor section adds another creative layer by offering five selectable analog coloration modes with adjustable intensity, allowing subtle enhancement or bold tonal shaping depending on the source.
For modern hybrid workflows, channex provides full digital recall of all settings, onboard preset storage and DAW plugin integration, ensuring total session recall and easy project management. A dedicated zero latency monitoring section with multiple independent mixes ensures comfortable cue mixes for performers, making channex a complete front end for recording studios, production rooms and high end home studios.
