TC Electronic Unveils Gold Channel at NAMM
January 29, 1998
TC Electronic sneak previews the Gold Channel at the 1998
Winter NAMM show, booth 1007. The Gold Channel is a two channel digitally
enhanced microphone preamplifier, featuring high resolution 24 bit A/D
conversion with 96kHz equalization and dynamics processing, according to
Anders Fauerskov, Managing Director of TC Electronic.
Gold Channel features include an expander/gate, Softlimiter(tm)
compressor/limiter, equalizer and additional processing tools, all
accessible through an easy to use channel strip interface with high
resolution metering. AES/EBU, Tos Link SPDIF, ADAT, I/Os are all provided,
in addition to standard Mic and line inputs and Word Clock in. In an
industry first for a mic-preamp - the Gold Channel features 200 User Preset
memory locations for instant recall of custom configurations.
"The way a signal gets recorded can be the weakest link for a studio, TC
has addressed this issue by creating the Gold Channel. The Gold Channel
was designed with precious signal handling in mind and is a serious tool
for any recordist", comments Fauerskov. "In addition to ensuring that a
clean, pure signal gets printed safely, the Gold Channel can also be
patched in for additional processing of recorded material in 96kHz
resolution afterwards."
The Gold Channel is expected to ship in Spring 1998 at a retail price of
$2,495.
