SPL Track One Mk3

Get that authoritative, professional sound.

The ever-popular SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strip, now in its third version, has been completely revised with increased specifications and a more intuitive design optimized for today’s recording studios. This Track One MK3 model is outfitted with superior Lundahl input and output transformers, resulting in an authoritative “big-iron” sound that pops out of the speakers. Track One MK3 Premium consistently offers outstanding sonics, improving vocals and instruments from any source, whether mic, line, or DI. The excellent mic preamp gives enough of a boost for your microphones and instruments, and SPL’s renowned De-Esser is included to control sibilant voices.

The SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strip allows you to optimize your dynamics with the compressor/limiter and sweeten your tone with the 3-band EQ, resulting in radio-ready sound.

Your option for quick, high-quality recordings

We speak with numerous artists who need to be able to generate excellent recordings rapidly – guitarists and bassists for hire, engineers doing radio commercials, and so on. The SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strip is unique in that it allows you to quickly tune in outstanding sound from almost any source. The built-in processing is ideal for adding extra studio polish without the need to patch in other processors or route audio through plug-ins.

Capture better voices with the built-in De-Esser.

The SPL De-Esser is regarded as an important instrument in many studios, and it is included directly in the SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strip. It is noted for reducing harsh sibilance from vocalists in a natural, melodic manner, producing transparent results even in severe settings. The SPL De-Esser’s automated threshold-adjusting capability is extremely beneficial. It adjusts for a singer’s shifting distance from the mic by applying de-using even when the signal is lower so that compressing afterward does not pull lower sibilants back up to level.

Compressor/Limiter regulates dynamics and gives character.

The Track One’s compressor/limiter is a basic one-knob design that uses temporal constants (including attack and release) that are automatically adjusted to the input signal, enabling simple set-and-forget operation. Pressing the Limiter button activates the compressor’s limiter mode, with the compression knob controlling the threshold. Like the compressor, SPL’s soft limiter is subtle and produces consistent, highly melodic effects. A separate makeup gain knob is included to ensure optimum gain structure in your signal chain.

Combine the two for stereo-functioning

For optimum studio versatility, get two SPL Track One MK3 Premium channel strips and connect them for stereo compression. You’ll be able to record stunningly wide stereo recordings and achieve real stereo compression with just one set of parameters. Best of all, the EQs will remain separate, allowing you to fine-tune the stereo image by selecting slightly different EQ values for each side.
